PUSH SWITCH

1 . A push switch configured to cause a movable contact unit to deform elastically to establish continuity between a first stationary contact and a second stationary contact through the movable contact unit, the push switch comprising:

the first stationary contact;

the second stationary contact disposed apart from the first stationary contact; and

the movable contact unit confronting the first stationary contact with a space therebetween, wherein the movable contact unit has a center portion and a surrounding portion,

the center portion has a dome-like shape, and

the surrounding portion is formed along a peripheral region of the center portion.

2 . The push switch of claim 1 , wherein the surrounding portion encircles the center portion in a plan view.

3 . The push switch of claim 1 , wherein the movable contact unit further has a connecting portion connecting the center portion and the surrounding portion.

4 . The push switch of claim 1 , wherein the movable contact unit comprises:

a first movable contact; and

a second movable contact formed above the first movable contact, and including the center portion and the surrounding portion,

wherein a peripheral edge of the center portion abuts on the first movable contact.

5 . The push switch of claim 1 further comprising a case,

wherein the first movable contact and the second movable contact are disposed inside a recess of the case, and

a peripheral edge of the first movable contact and a peripheral edge of the surrounding portion abut on an inner wall of the case.

6 . The push switch of claim 3 , wherein

the center portion has a round shape of which a part is cut out, and

the connecting portion is connected to the center portion at an area between two cutout portions, the area being the part where the round shape is cut out.
