  • the switch device A of this embodiment includes a push-button switch 1 (piano switch), a piano handle 2 (operation handle), a decorative plate 3 and a mounting frame 4.
  • the push-button switch 1 has a plurality of light emitting diodes (not illustrated) that emits different colors of light.
  • the push-button switch 1 has a box 11 combining a body 11a which has a rectangular box shape of which front surface is open, and a cover 11b which has a rectangular box shape of which rear surface is open.
  • a push-button 12, for switching ON/OFF of a contact (not illustrated) enclosed inside, is disposed to the right on the front surface side of the box 11.
  • a red light emitting diode and a green light emitting diode (both not illustrated) that turn ON or OFF corresponding to the ON/OFF state of the contact are disposed to the left on the front surface side of the box 11 as well.
  • the light emitting diodes of the push-button switch 1 are the red light emitting diode and the green light emitting diode which emit different colors of light in this embodiment, and the light is emitted from the red light emitting diode or the green light emitting diode corresponding to the ON/OFF state push-button switch 1.
  • the combination of the light emitting diodes is not limited to the combination of the red light emitting diode and the green light emitting diode, but may be a combination of a red light emitting diode or a green light emitting diode and a light emitting diode that emits a color of light other than red and green.
  • a combination of light emitting diodes that emit a color of light different from red and green may be used.
  • This push-button switch 1 has a configuration that is similar to the push-button switch of the above mentioned switch device according to Document 1, hence detailed description thereof is omitted.
  • the contacts are connected in series between a power supply (not illustrated) and a load (not illustrated), so that power is supplied from the power supply to the load when the contact is turned ON, and the power from the power supply to the load is shut OFF when the contact is turned OFF.
  • the piano handle 2 is formed into a rectangular plate shape which is long in the vertical direction, as illustrated in Fig. 1A , and one end of the piano handle 2 (left side in Fig. 2A ) in the horizontal direction is rotatably supported by the push-button switch 1.
  • the push-button 12 of the push-button switch 1 is pressed down (see Fig. 2B ).
  • the mounting structure of the piano handle 2 is also similar to the switch device disclosed in the above mentioned Document 1, hence detailed description is omitted.
  • the decorative plate 3 is formed in a rectangular plate shape which is long in the vertical direction, as illustrated in Fig. 1A , and a window hole 31, which exposes the piano handle 2 to the front surface side, is disposed approximately at the center of the decorative plate 3 (see Fig. 2A and Fig. 2B ).
  • the decorative plate 3 is mounted on the later mentioned mounting frame 4 from the front surface side, using an appropriate mounting means, such as mounting screws.
  • the mounting frame 4 is a mounting frame for embedded wiring devices standardized by JIS, for example, and has a configuration similar to the mounting frame used for the switch device disclosed in the above mentioned Document 1, hence detailed description thereof is omitted.
