Abstract
The present disclosure provides a rotary switch. The rotary switch may comprise a fixing body, a rotating body disposed in the fixing body, a cover coupled to an upper portion of the fixing body, and a first elastic body positioned under the cover to contact a plurality of protrusions formed on the rotating body. The protrusions of the rotating body may protrude in a side direction and radial direction of the rotating body to improve a rotational operation feeling and the quality of a rotational sound.
Claims20
A rotary switch, comprising:
- a fixing body;
- a rotating body comprising a first protrusion protruding in a shaft direction and a second protrusion protruding in a radial direction, wherein at least a portion of the rotating body is disposed in the fixing body;
