Abstract:
A multi-directional operation switch structure seeks to improve the reliability of a product by minimizing tolerances that need to be managed by making two regions guiding the sliding movement of a slider to be formed by one holder in a switch structure in which a knob is configured on the outside of a casing, and the slider and a holder connected to the knob are inside the casing. Especially, the present disclosure can improve structural stability due to a double support structure and ensure reliability of slider movement by allowing the holder as well as the casing to withstand pressure resulting from external forces. In addition, the present disclosure can simplify a coupling structure and a support structure by configuring the slider to be coupled to the holder in a rotational manner, and the coupled slider to be limited in rotation by the casing.
