SWITCH

摘要

A switch, which returns a switch lever to a rotation neutral position by a force for pressing a steel ball against left and right slopes, includes a guide plate portion that is provided in a switch case, does not come into contact with the switch lever during a rotational operation of the switch lever and a pushing operation at the rotation neutral position, and comes into contact with the switch lever during the pushing operation in a state in which the switch lever is tilted from the rotation neutral position. The guide plate portion forms a second slope that is disposed so as to return the switch lever, which comes into contact with the second slope, to the rotation neutral position.

主权项

1. A switch comprising:
a switch case; a switch lever that is supported by the switch case so as to allow a rotational operation and a pushing operation; a first guide portion that is provided on a side opposite to an operation portion of the switch lever in the switch case and forms a V-shaped slope; a movable element that is held at an end portion of the switch lever close to the first guide portion and is biased to the slope; a lever neutral position restoration mechanism that includes the movable element and the first guide portion and returns the switch lever to a rotation neutral position by a force for pressing the movable element against the slope; and a second guide portion that is provided in the switch case, does not come into contact with the switch lever during the rotational operation of the switch lever and the pushing operation at the rotation neutral position, and comes into contact with the switch lever during the pushing operation in a state in which the switch lever is tilted from the rotation neutral position, wherein the second guide portion forms a second slope that is disposed so as to return the switch lever, which comes into contact with the second slope, to the rotation neutral position, and wherein during the pushing operation in the state in which the switch lever is tilted from the rotation neutral position, the switch lever comes into contact with the second slope of the second guide portion and is pushed while returning to the rotation neutral position.
