A push button structure includes: a panel 1 in which an opening 2 for exposing a button 7 is provided; a button 7 having a leg of which one end side is supported by a rotational central section 5 of the panel 1 and of which the other end side has a leg 6 extending in an orthogonal direction to the panel 1, wherein the other end side is rotated about the rotational central section 5 when the button is pushed with exposed from the opening 2 of the panel 1; and a board 3 on which a switch 4 is mounted and which is attached at an angle to the panel 1 such that a direction C tangential to a rotational path of the leg 6 is substantially the same as a stroke direction D of the switch 4.
