Operation command transmitting device

An operation command transmitting device comprising:

• a graspable housing;
• a switch contact including a fixed electric contact provided inside the housing to be fixed with respect to the housing;
• a pressure receiving portion pressably provided outside the housing;
• a bar portion extending from the pressure receiving portion toward the switch contact along a central axis;
• a switch pressing portion which is provided in a part of the bar portion on an opposite side with respect to the pressure receiving portion, and which is configured to press the switch contact when press force is applied to the pressure receiving portion;
• a coupling portion which couples the bar portion to the housing so that the bar portion is movable relative to the housing along the central axis and so that the bar portion is allowed to be tilted around a supporting axis which passes through the bar portion;
• an abutment portion provided integrally with the housing or provided to be fixed with respect to the housing, the bar portion being configured to come into abutment with the abutment portion when the bar portion is tilted from an untilted neutral condition;
• and
• an axis defining portion which defines the supporting axis so that a position of the supporting axis relative to the housing does not change regardless of a tilting of the bar portion and a movement of the bar portion along the central axis.
