Abstract

A switch device includes an operation plate (12) that has regions which an operator contacts with fingers so as to perform a switching operation, a wiring film (13) that has a plurality of capacitive touch switches (24a,25a,26a,27a) that are provided to correspond to the regions on a back surface of the operation plate (12), supporting portions and a holding portion that rotatably support a holder (29) holding the operation plate (12), such that one end of the operation plate (12) rocks when operation surfaces (24b,25b,26b,27b) are pressed, and a pushbutton switch (30) that comes into contact with and operates in response to the holder (29) rocking when the operation plate (12) is pressed, and outputs pressing signals fixing input of the capacitive touch switches (24a,25a,26a,27a) corresponding to the operation surfaces (24b,25b,26b,27b) that come into contact with the fingers of the operator.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a switch device capable of inputting commands related to various operations of in-vehicle equipment and a steering switch device using the same. Background technique [0002] As the manipulation switch device, there is a prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1. In this prior art control switch device, a plurality of switches are arranged along the edge of the backing plate so that they can be pressed and operated by the hand holding the steering wheel in order to control various electronic devices installed in the vehicle. [0003] [Patent Document 1] 2005-138787 Bulletin [0004] Recently, a manipulation switch device mounted with a plurality of switches has been required, and there has been a problem that the manipulation switch device is increased in size and cost. Contents of the invention [0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned actual situation, and an object of the...
