Patent ID: 8907240

Claim:
An in-vehicle lever switch device, wherein in the vicinity of the distal end of cylindrical lever body, a rotating knob that can be rotated along an plane which is orthogonal to the axial direction of the cylindrical lever body and a pressing knob that can reciprocate along the axial direction by being loosely fitted to the rotating knob are arranged, wherein the outlines along the orthogonal plane of the cylindrical lever body, the rotating knob and the pressing knob are non-circular, wherein a holder incorporated in and fixed to the cylindrical lever body and a circuit board mounted on a holder in a posture along the orthogonal plane are provided, wherein the rotating knob is rotatably supported by the holder and the pressing knob is supported by the rotating knob in a state where the pressing knob can reciprocate and the rotation is restrained, and wherein a rotating detection part and a pressing detection part are provided on one main surface of the circuit board, which faces the distal end side of the cylindrical lever body, such that a rotating operation with respect to the rotating knob is detected by the rotating detection part and a pressing operation with respect to the pressing knob is detected by the pressing detection part.
