To prevent a mistake in operation to pull up an operating part of a knob.SOLUTION: A panel member has a panel upper surface part, and an opening. A knob has a base part, a front wall part, and an operating part. The operating part has a pressing operation surface part that is pressed by an operator. When seen from a virtual swing central axis direction, a relative position in the vertical direction of the pressing operation surface part to the panel upper surface part is located above the panel upper surface part in a neutral state where the pressing operation surface part is released from operating force, and when the pressing operation surface part pressed by the operating force is transitioned from the neutral state to the same plane as the panel supper surface part, the amount of pressing of the knob at a contact becomes smaller than a predetermined amount, and the pressing operation surface part is located at a position where the contact does not generate a signal. When the pressing operation surface part further pressed by the operating force is transitioned to a position below the panel upper surface part, the amount of pressing of the knob at the contact becomes equal to or more than the predetermined amount, and the pressing operation surface part is located at a position where the contact generates a signal.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
