SWITCH DEVICE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/171409

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

In the present invention, a switch device (1) comprises a case (11) and an operation unit (12). The operation unit (12) comprises a magnet (21) at both side sections. The case (11) comprises a holding magnetic element (33) at the right and left of a top section (113). A state where the operation unit (12) is positioned at the right is thereby maintained due to a magnetic action between the right magnet (21) and the right holding magnetic element. Similarly, a state where the operation unit is positioned at the left is maintained due to a magnetic action between the left magnet (21) and the left holding magnetic element. In addition, a Hall element (34) is provided in a side wall section (34) of the case (11). The position of the operation unit (12) is detected using the Hall element (34). Positioning the magnet in the side section of the operation unit (12) makes it possible to easily reduce the thickness of the switch device (1). In addition, since the Hall element (34) is positioned on the side of the operation unit (12), it is possible to more easily reduce the thickness of the switch device (1).
