ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a multiple-operation electric component in which a rotary electric component is incorporated on the outside of a multi-direction switch, and which is suitable for a reduction in height. In the multiple-operation electric component, a driver having a second movable contact plate as an engagement member is spline-connected to an operating lever of the multi-direction switch, and a plurality of projections are formed on the outer periphery of the second movable contact plate at predetermined intervals. An operating ring of a rotary switch is rotatably arranged on the outside of the operating lever, and a plurality of cutouts are formed on the inner peripheral surface of the operating ring. The projections of the second movable contact plate are inserted into the corresponding cutouts of the operating ring so that the rotation of the operating lever is transmitted to the operating ring through engagement portions of the projections with the cutouts, and that the projections are rotated within the cutouts during tilting of the operating lever, whereby the tilting of the operating lever is not prevented by the operating ring.
