Selector unit

A selector unit, the selector unit being a dial selector unit installed in a vehicle, the selector unit comprising:

• a protruding portion that protrudes inward into a vehicle cabin of the vehicle;
• and
• a dial member that is positioned on an outer side of the protruding portion in a radial direction, and that surrounds the protruding portion in a circumferential direction, wherein:
• the dial member is configured to be displaced between an initial position and a depressed position along an axial direction of the protruding portion, and to be rotationally operable in the circumferential direction when depressed to the depressed position;
• and
• wherein a first offset angle is defined as an angle between an extended line obtained by extending an upper face of the protruding portion in the radial direction and a tangential line that is in contact with both a rearward outer perimeter in a vehicle front-rear direction of the upper face of the protruding portion and a rearward outer perimeter in the vehicle front-rear direction of an upper face of the dial member when the dial member is at the initial position, in a section of the dial member and the protruding portion where a plane containing the rotation axis of the dial member passes through,
• wherein a second offset angle is defined as an angle between the extended line and a tangential line that is in contact with both a frontward outer perimeter in the vehicle front-rear direction of the upper face of the protruding portion and a frontward outer perimeter in the vehicle front-rear direction of the upper face of the dial member when the dial member is at the depressed position,
• wherein the first offset angle is greater than the second offset angle.
