Claim Text:
1. A lever switch device comprising: a movable element which is supported rotatably in a case; first and second movable plates which are disposed so as to move along a pole plate on a case side in a direction which intersects a rotational axis of the movable element at right angles to thereby be caused to perform a contacting action relative to the pole plate; and first and second levers which are supported so as to swing and rotate freely and disposed so as to rotate about axes thereof in a concentric fashion on the movable element, characterized by comprising: first and second fitting portions which are provided on the first and second movable plates and which lie adjacent across the rotational axial center of the movable element; first and second arms in which proximal portions are supported on the first and second levers so as to rotate on axial center thereof which are at right angles to lever axes of the first and second levers along the lever axes and so as not to rotate about the lever axes, and distal end portions lie adjacent across the rotational axial center of the movable element and fit in the first and second fitting portions; a restriction wall which is formed between the first and second arms so as to restrict the first and second arms from moving in the direction of the lever axes against the rotation of the first and second levers relative to the movable element; and engagement walls which are formed on first and second fitting portions so as to be brought into engagement with the first and second arms as a result of rotational movement of the first and second arms by axial rotation of the first and second levers to thereby cause the first and second movable plates to perform the contacting action.
