ABSTRACT:
A multiple-way electronic component includes a box-shaped casing having an upper wall, a lower wall, and an intermediate wall. The upper wall has a circular opening. A first push switch is located on a central area of the lower wall of the casing. Second, third, fourth, and fifth push switches are located on peripheral areas of the lower wall of the casing. A resilient contact arm is supported on the lower wall of the casing. A rotary member is rotatably supported by the intermediate wall of the casing. The rotary member has a polygonal hole. A movable contact retained by the rotary member moves into and out of contact with the resilient contact arm in accordance with rotation of the rotary member. An operation member has a lower end which fits in the polygonal hole in the rotary member. The lower end of the operation member engages the first push switch. The operation member has a cylindrical shaft extending upward from the lower end thereof. The cylindrical shaft extends to an exterior of the casing through the circular opening in the upper wall of the casing. The operation member and the rotary member are rotatable together. The operation member is movable upward and downward relative to the rotary member. A drive member connected to the cylindrical shaft has downward projections engaging the second, third, fourth, and fifth push switches respectively.
