Abstract
A push-button assembly (10) is constituted by a push-button (12) having a side wall outer surface located adjacent to a side wall inner surface of a surrounding body (14). In the assembly, at least one of the side wall surfaces is recessed (22; 22a, 22c; 22b, 22d), thereby reducing the contact area of the opposed surface areas likely to be adversely affected by stickiness.
