Abstract
A switch device includes a lever and a pusher. The pusher includes a surface that contacts the lever. When force is applied from the lever to the pusher, an inclined surface of the pusher produces a force that moves the pusher from a one-side pushing position to a two-side pushing position. This allows for a user to apply a smaller force to the lever in order to move the pusher from the one-side pushing position to the two-side pushing position and thereby push two switch units.
