Illumination push switch unit

An illumination push switch unit comprising:

• a case having first and second supporting holes that are adjacent to each other with a barrier wall interposed therebetween;
• first and second operation members that have display surfaces and peripheral walls and are held in the first and second supporting holes so as to perform pressing operation;
• an insulating substrate that is located at lower sides of the first and second operation members and is fixed to the case;
• first and second light-emitting bodies that are disposed on the insulating substrate and project light toward each display surface of the first and second operation members;
• and
• first and second detecting units that are disposed on the insulating substrate and are driven by driving units provided at the peripheral walls of the first and second operation members in accordance with the pressing operation of the first and second operation members,
• wherein the driving units for driving the first and second detecting units are formed at side walls other than adjacent side walls of the peripheral walls with the barrier walls interposed therebetween,
• notch portions are provided at the bottom surface side of the barrier wall and the bottom surface sides of the adjacent side walls of the peripheral walls with the barrier wall interposed therebetween, and
• a space portion, which becomes an optical path toward the display surfaces of the first and second operation members, is formed between the top surface of the insulating substrate and the notch portions through the notch portions.
