Abstract
A structure for mounting a switch to a front panel of an electric apparatus. Supporting members are arranged on the front panel to support an elastic member which can hold the switch under the elastic deformation of the elastic member. One support member is arranged one side of the opening in the front panel and another support member is arranged on the opposite side of the opening. The elastic member includes a pair of longitudinal webs adapted to engage with the lateral flap portions of the switch and at least one transverse web connecting the longitudinal webs together. The elastic member has tongues for engaging with the support member.
