Abstract
A recess portion 14a is formed in the underside of the flange 14 of a tilting holder 13 at a position corresponding to, for example, an 'upper right' select switch 4. As a result, the operating pin 10 of the 'upper right' select switch 4 has a fixed gap with the flange 14. Consequently, the operating pin 10 of the 'upper right' select switch is pressed when an operating lever 15 is tilted. However, the operating range B of, for example, the 'upper right' select switch 4 is set narrower than the operating range A of, for example, the 'upper' select switch 4 since the pressing of the operating pin 10 of, for example, the 'upper right' select switch 4 is delayed by the gap resulting from the recess portion 14a.
