• a housing;
• a control member rotatably disposed on the housing about a rotational axis to control a control cable;
• a first user operating member having an operating part for rotating the control member in a first rotational direction;
• a second user operating member having a pawl for rotating the control member in a second rotational direction, which is opposite to the first rotational direction;
• a pivoting member movably disposed on the housing for pivotal displacement between a first position and a second position about a pivot axis by the first user operating member;
• and
• a transmission operatively disposed between the pivoting member and the control member and including a ratchet, a positioning tooth and a maintaining tooth;
• the ratchet including a plurality of first teeth engaged by the positioning tooth while the pivoting member is disposed at the first position, a plurality of second teeth engaged by the maintaining tooth while the pivoting member is disposed at the second position, and a plurality of third teeth engaged by the pawl of the second user operating member in response to the second user operating member being operated,
• at least one of the first, second and third teeth being arranged on a periphery of the ratchet and at least one of the first, second and third teeth is arranged radially inside of the at least one of the first, second and third teeth that is arranged on the periphery of the ratchet with respect to the rotational axis of the control member.
