Lever switch

摘要

A lever switch has a base member, a first switch knob member, a first moderation mechanism, a substrate having a first contact member, and a first slider. The base member has a first supporting surface formed along an outer peripheral surface of a column centered on a rotational axis of the first switch knob member and a second supporting surface formed on one side across the rotational axis. The first switch knob member includes a first supported surface and a second supported surface, and the second supported surface is provided with a first cam portion. The first supported surface is rotatably supported on the first supporting surface, the second supported surface is rotatably supported on the second supporting surface, and the first slider is held on a side opposite to a side where the second supporting surface is provided across the rotational axis.

主权项

1. A lever switch comprising:
a base member; a first switch knob member rotatable around a rotational axis thereof with respect to the base member; a first click-stop mechanism including a first elastic member and a first actuator biased by the first elastic member, the first click-stop mechanism providing a clicking sensation accompanying a rotational operation of the first switch knob member; a substrate having a first contact portion on a first surface thereof; and a first slider configured to rotate integrally with the first switch knob member so as to be in sliding contact with and be separated from the first contact portion, wherein the base member includes:
a first supporting surface formed along a surface of a first cylinder having a first center line on the rotational axis of the first switch knob member; anda second supporting surface formed along a surface of a second cylinder having a diameter larger than that of the first cylinder, the second cylinder having a second center line on the rotational axis of the first switch knob member, the second supporting surface being located on one side of the second cylinder with respect to the rotational axis, wherein the first click-stop mechanism is supported in the base member such that the first actuator protrudes from the second supporting surface, wherein the first switch knob member includes:
a first supported surface rotatably supported by the first supporting surface; anda second supported surface rotatably supported by the second supporting surface, the second supported surface having a first cam portion provided with dents and bumps, and wherein the first slider is provided on an opposite side of the second supporting surface with respect to the rotational axis.
