Patent ID: 8281682

Claim:
An accelerator operating device positioned on a handlebar, the accelerator operating device comprising: a body fixed to the handlebar; an accelerator lever that is supported on the body so as to rotate freely around a predetermined axial line and that rotates between a close position and a maximum open position; a first return spring that returns the accelerator lever to the close position; and a load generation mechanism that generates a load on a rotational operating force of the accelerator lever by frictional resistance, the load generating mechanism including a rotational slider that is arranged to freely rotate around the axial line and that can be pressed and rotated by opening rotation of the accelerator lever; a slide receiving part that is formed in the body and that makes contact with and allows the rotational slider to slide; a biasing spring that biases the rotational slider toward the slide receiving part; and a second return spring that returns the rotational slider to a rest position corresponding to the close position.
