Abstract
An operating switch has a push button provided in a housing of a switch body for operation when depressed by an operating lever pivoted on the housing. The operation of the push button causes a switch arrangement to be turned by a turning arrangement so that a movable contact is engaged with or disengaged from a stationary contact. The turning arrangement includes a sliding cam disposed along the interior face of the push button and having cam parts engageable with engaging projections of a pivotable actuator coupled resiliently to the switching arrangement upon performing a sliding movement in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the push button.
