Abstract

See full text

In a push-button switch device for a vehicle including a case fixed to a vehicle body or a lid openably and closably mounted on the vehicle body, a push-button that forms a housing chamber in cooperation with the case and supported on the case configured for a pushing operation, and a switch housed in and fixed to the housing chamber for changing a switching mode thereof in response to a pushing operation of the push-button, a through passage is formed in the case, the through passage having one end part thereof communicating with the housing chamber, and an air vent hole is provided in the case, the air vent hole providing communication between the other end part of the through passage and the outer panel. Such configuration prevents water from entering a housing chamber thereby avoiding deterioration of the push-button, and enabling the housing chamber to breath.
