<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a turn signal switch device capable of attaining size reduction and improving the flexibility of design. <P>SOLUTION: A second elastic member 8 is provided at a housing in parallel to a first elastic member 7 to retain a first lever member 5 by the first elastic member 7 at a rotational neutral position and to hold a second lever member 6 at the rotational neutral position by the second elastic member 8 when an operation lever 3 is positioned at the rotational neutral position. The first elastic member 7 and the second elastic member 8 are formed out of a thin sheet-shaped flat spring having flat plate parts 7b, 8b, first contact parts 4h, 4i which are brought into contact with one surface side of both edges of each of the first elastic member 7 and the second elastic member 8 and retaining parts 4c, 4d having second contact parts 4j, 4d which are brought into contact with the other surface side facing the first contact parts are formed at the housing, and the first contact parts 4h, 4j and the second contact parts 4j, 4k are provided in parallel to each other to face each other at such a position that they become alternate along an extending direction of the first elastic member 7 and the second elastic member 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
