Abstract

A tilting member has a force bearing portion to which operating force is applied, and also has a supported surface. A supporting member has a supporting projection with which said supported surface of said tilting member may come in contact. The operating force which being applied to said force bearing portion of said tilting member, causes said tilting member to tilt with respect to said supporting member while said supporting member supports said tilting member at a supporting point where said supporting projection of said supporting member is in contact with said supported surface of said tilting member, about which supporting point said tilting member tilts. The tilting of said tilting member, with respect to said supporting member, establishes a predetermined electrical contact.
