ABSTRACT:
A pushbutton switch which includes a casing having a bottom wall and a top wall, and a switch device disposed in the casing on the bottom and composed of a relatively thin case having a flexible presser and accommodating a movable contact sheet, a spacer, and a fixed contact therein in stacked relation. A stem is disposed in the casing for movement toward and away from the switch device, and a plate spring is disposed above the flexible presser and curved toward the stem. An actuating member is disposed in the stem for movement toward and away from the switch device, and a spring is disposed between the actuating member and the stem for urging an upper portion of the stem to project through the top wall of the casing and also urge the actuating member into pressing contact with an upper surface of the plate spring. The flexible presser has on an upper surface a presser projection and on a lower surface a contact presser projection. When the stem is depressed the plate spring engages the presser projection, and displaces the contact presser toward a proximal end of the flexible presser away from the presser projection.
