Abstract

For a light-transmitting switch in which a tip portion of a switch movable knob is inserted in an opening provided in a partition panel of a base material and a cushion material is disposed between an outermost cover material and the partition panel, a film is interposed between the cushion material and the partition panel and between the cushion material and the tip surface of the switch movable knob. As a result, even when the position of the switch movable knob relative to the base material is deviated from an appropriate position, the film supports the cushion material, so that the surface shape of the cushion material can be made flat. Therefore, it is possible to restrain occurrence of unevenness on the surface of the outermost cover material, and restrain deterioration in design of a vehicle cabin.
