ABSTRACT:
A switching device has a switch, a case within which the switch is accommodated, a cylinder which is provided on an upper surface of the case and open to above and below to communicate with the inside of the case, an operation knob which covers an opening of the cylinder and swings in a front-to-rear direction, and an operation bar which extends from the operation knob through the opening into the case to transmit the motion of the operation knob to the switch. A guide member is disposed between the case upper surface and the end of the operation knob. The guide member is inclined in the left and right directions so as to guide water toward the sides of the case.
