Abstract
In the lever apparatus, a cover part () including a spherical-shaped outer surface and two thickness-reducing recessed portions () formed on the inner surface side thereof is disposed on the base end portion of a lever upper () and fitting recessed portions (), instead of the rotatably-supporting shaft portions which are used in the conventional lever apparatus, are formed in the mounting part () of the lever upper. When molding the lever upper, molds for molding the thickness-reducing recessed portions can be slided in the projecting direction of the mounting part, thereby being able to facilitate the manufacture of the lever upper and thus lever ().
