摘要

An automotive lever switch 1 includes a tubular bearing 1a. A switch plate 2 is inserted within an opening 1i of the lever 1 and includes a fixed contact plate 15. An intermediate knob 5 includes a movable contact plate 3 placed in contact with the fixed contact plate 15. A fixed knob 8 is fixedly mounted to the tubular bearing 1a of the lever 1. A shaft 13 is inserted into the tubular bearing 1a. An arm 14 is secured to one end of the shaft 13, and a rotating knob 9 is secured to the other end of the shaft 13. The rotating knob 9 includes a resilient arm 9b engaged with a locking recess 13a of the shaft 13. This arrangement allows for mounting of the rotating knob to the shaft in a single fabrication step.
