    摘要: The lever switch has a shaft, an operating body turnable around the shaft, and a contact assembly. The contact assembly includes a movable contact piece turning in response to the turn of the operating body, a fixed contact piece secured to the shaft and slidingly contacting the movable contact piece, and a movable contact piece retainer disposed between the operating body and the fixed contact piece for retaining the movable contact piece. The movable contact piece retainer is opposed to the operating body and the fixed contact piece in the longitudinal direction of the shaft. A first clearance is provided between the movable contact piece retainer and the fixed contact piece in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, and a second clearance is provided between the movable contact piece retainer and the operating body in the longitudinal direction of the shaft.

    摘要: A steering assembly having a switch device attached to a steering column which rotatably supports a steering wheel. The steering wheel includes a steering wheel boss, a steering wheel ring and steering wheel spokes coupling the boss and the ring. The switch device is composed of an operating shaft and a first operating ring formed around it. The entire length of the operating shaft is set that its tip is located between an outer edge and an inner edge of the steering wheel ring in a radial direction of the steering wheel. The first operating ring provided around the operating shaft is rotatable in both directions.

    摘要: A pair of bosses are formed in the vicinity of a cut out portion of a lower casing from which a lead circuit section, which is integrally formed with a switch circuit section a flexible printed circuitry is led out. Three engagement holes are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the lead circuit section with predetermined intervals at both end portions of a widthwise direction thereof. The lead circuit section is folded such that all the respective three engagement holes are fitted with the respective bosses while providing surplus length portion in the form of S-shape, and then led out from the cut out portion. The upper casing having a pair of hold-down members are combined with the lower casing such that the hold-down members are engaged with the respective bosses to constitute a casing which serves as a switch unit.
