To provide a press operation device comprising a single rotation operation member, on which an operated part rotating under a press operation and a pressing force transmission part transmitting a press operation force to a press switch are formed, and capable of giving sufficient rigidity while restraining shrinkage of the pressing force transmission part.
A press operation device comprises a rotation operation member 20 for alternatively pressing a press switch, and a rotation support member 40 supporting the rotation operation member 20. The rotation operation member 20 has an operated part 24, and a pressing force transmission part 21 extending from each of rotation ends 241, 242 toward each press switch. The operated part and the pressing force transmission part are molded as a single member to rotate integrally. The pressing force transmission part 21 has a cross sectional shape such that dimension in a thickness direction orthogonal to a rotation face is smaller than dimension in a width direction parallel to the rotation face. The rotation support member 40 has a guide part 42b for restraining movement of each pressing force transmission part 21 in the thickness direction while allowing the movement along the rotation face.
