Dimmer switch

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body having a vehicle center axis extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle;
• and
• a dimmer switch capable of switching among off, low beam, and high beam by a rotary operation of an operation portion provided in a main body portion, wherein:
• when attached to a vehicle body, said dimmer switch has a low beam position and a high beam position arranged above a horizontal line passing through a rotation axis of said operation portion, as well as has an off position arranged below said horizontal line;
• and
• a first rotation angle between said off position and said low beam position is set to be larger than a second rotation angle between said low beam position and said high beam position,
• wherein on an instrument panel of the vehicle whose front wheels are steered by a steering wheel, said dimmer switch is attached such that said operation portion faces the driver, and so as to be entirely positioned farther from the vehicle center axis in a vehicle width direction than an entirety of said steering wheel is from the vehicle center axis in the vehicle width direction.

A dimmer switch comprising:

• a main body;
• and
• an operation portion provided in the main body to be rotatable around a rotation axis to switch the dimmer switch among an off position, a low beam position, and a high beam position, the low beam position and the high beam position being provided above a horizontal line passing through the rotation axis and the off position being provided below the horizontal line in a state where the dimmer switch is attached to a vehicle body, a first rotation angle between the off position and the low beam position being set to be larger than a second rotation angle between the low beam position and the high beam position,
• wherein the first rotation angle is set to an obtuse angle, while the second rotation angle is set to an acute angle.

A switch vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle body having a vehicle center axis extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle;
• and
• a dimmer switch comprising:
• a main body;
• and
• an operation portion provided in the main body to be rotatable around a rotation axis to switch the dimmer switch among an off position, a low beam position, and a high beam position, the low beam position and the high beam position being provided above a horizontal line passing through the rotation axis and the off position being provided below the horizontal line in a state where the dimmer switch is attached to a vehicle body, a first rotation angle between the off position and the low beam position being set to be larger than a second rotation angle between the low beam position and the high beam position,
• wherein on an instrument panel of the vehicle whose front wheels are steered by a steering wheel, the dimmer switch is attached such that the operation portion faces a driver, and so as to be entirely positioned farther from the vehicle center axis in a vehicle width direction than an entirety of the steering wheel is from the vehicle center axis in the vehicle width direction.

A dimmer switch comprising:

• a main body;
• and
• an operation portion provided in the main body to be rotatable around a rotation axis to switch the dimmer switch among an off position, a low beam position, and a high beam position, the low beam position and the high beam position being provided above a horizontal line passing through the rotation axis and the off position being provided below the horizontal line in a state where the dimmer switch is attached to a vehicle body, a first rotation angle between the off position and the low beam position being set to be larger than a second rotation angle between the low beam position and the high beam position,
• wherein in side view of the vehicle body, an upward and rearward inclination of the rotation axis is set steeper than an upward and rearward inclination of a rotation axis of a steering wheel provided in the vehicle body.

A dimmer switch comprising:

• a main body;
• and
• an operation portion provided in the main body to be rotatable around a rotation axis to switch the dimmer switch among an off position, a low beam position, and a high beam position, the low beam position and the high beam position being provided above a horizontal line passing through the rotation axis and the off position being provided below the horizontal line in a state where the dimmer switch is attached to a vehicle body, a first rotation angle between the off position and the low beam position being set to be larger than a second rotation angle between the low beam position and the high beam position,
• wherein the operation portion does not include a switch position between the low beam position and the high beam position,
• wherein the operation portion does not include a switch position between the off position and the low beam position, and
• wherein said first rotation angle is set to an obtuse angle, while said second rotation angle is set to an acute angle.

A dimmer switch comprising:

• a main body;
• and
• an operation portion provided in the main body to be rotatable around a rotation axis to switch the dimmer switch among an off position, a first operating position, and a second operating position, the first operating position and the second operating position being provided above a horizontal line passing through the rotation axis and the off position being provided below the horizontal line in a state where the dimmer switch is attached to a vehicle body,
• wherein the first operating position being a first closest operating position of the operating portion to the off position, the first operating position being provided at a first rotating angle from the off position,
• wherein the second operating position being a second closest operating position of the operating portion to the first operating position, the second operating position being provided at a second rotating angle from the first operating position, and
• wherein the first rotation angle is larger than the second rotation angle.
