ABSTRACT:
A rail 30, having a long groove 31 on an upper surface thereof, is disposed in a space between an upper surface of cover 28 having an elongated hole 29 and an insulating substrate 21. With this arrangement, water or the like, entering from the upper part of cover 28, falls directly or via a groove 27a formed on an upper surface of a slider 25 and is settled or accumulated in long groove 31 of rail 30. Excellent dust-protective and waterproofing effects are obtained. Furthermore, these entering substances are drained via long groove 31 of rail 30, preventing them from spraying out to uncertain places.
