Abstract
A rod ( ) is pivotally provided in a lever ( ). The rod ( ) is divided into a small-diameter lower rod ( ) and a large-diameter upper rod ( ). When a knob ( ) is pivotally moved, the lower rod ( ) and the upper rod ( ) are moved in an integrated fashion. A movable contact ( ) is slid by means of movement of a pusher ( ) of the lower rod ( ). In this case, the rigidity of the upper rod ( ) is improved, and hence the upper rod ( ) becomes less susceptible to deflection induced by the load of the spring ( ). Accordingly, inclination of the knob ( ) toward the lever ( ) is prevented, and hence a clearance between the lever ( ) and the knob ( ) can be maintained constant by means of a single set consisting of a spring ( ) and a moderation ball ( ).
