A rocker switch device is provided in which a pair of shaft portions are projectingly provided on mutually opposing faces of extremity portions of a pair of side wall parts of a switch case, the pair of shaft portions being aligned on the same axis as each other, a bearing hole is formed in an operating knob so as to extend therethrough, the pair of shaft portions being rotatably fitted into the bearing hole, a projecting portion is provided on an outside face of the pair of side wall parts, the projecting portion being pressed into contact with the support body to thus prevent rattling of the switch case, and a support pin is fitted into the bearing hole, opposite ends of the support pin abutting against extremities of the pair of shaft portions respectively. Such arrangement prevents switch malfunctioning, and restrains deformation of the side wall parts.

Rocker switch device

A stroke sensor includes a cover that covers a slide end on a protrusion side of a shaft in a slide region between the shaft and a housing while allowing a relative movement between the shaft and the housing, wherein a flange surface the extends radially outward from the slide end is provided on the housing, an axial direction seal that is in close contact with the flange surface in the axial line direction is provided on the cover, and a fixation member that presses the axial direction seal to be in contact with the flange surface is further provided.

Stroke sensor and saddle riding type vehicle

A stroke sensor includes: a shaft that extends in an axial line direction; a detected body that is fixed to the shaft; a housing that extends along the shaft, that houses the shaft, and that supports the shaft slidably in the axial line direction; and a detection body that detects a movement amount of the detected body which moves in accordance with sliding of the shaft, wherein the shaft includes a plurality of shaft members that are connected to each other in the axial line direction and that are formed of metal, and a slide part that is in contact with an inner wall of the housing and that slides so as to regulate a movement of the shaft in a direction that is crossed with the axial line is provided on each of the plurality of shaft members.
