Abstract
In a shift device, a magnetic sensor detects a rotational movement position of a lever. A lower light guide of the lever guides light from LEDs. The LEDs and the magnetic sensor are provided at a circuit board. Accordingly, a number of components may be reduced.
Claims15
A shift device for a vehicle, comprising:
- a shift body including a rotatable portion that is operable by rotational movement to change a shift position among plural shift positions of the vehicle;
- a guide member that is provided at the shift body and that guides light;
- and
- a mounting body at which an emission section and a detection portion are provided, the emission section emitting light to the guide member and the detection portion detecting a movement position of the shift body,
- wherein the guide member is provided in an insertion hole formed in the rotatable portion of the shift body, and
- the guide member and the rotatable portion of the shift body are rotationally moveable in a front and rear direction of the vehicle due to the shift body being rotationally operated.
