Abstract
A cancel cam includes an annular member, a cam wall, and at least one reinforcing rib. The annular member is rotatable integrally with a steering shaft about a rotation axis and includes an outer peripheral portion, an inner peripheral portion, and a first surface. The cam wall extends from the outer peripheral portion in an axial direction and extends along the outer peripheral portion in a circumferential direction. The at least one reinforcing rib extends from the cam wall toward the inner peripheral portion and couples the cam wall to the annular member. The cam wall has a first axial length defined from the first surface in the axial direction. The inner peripheral portion has a second axial length defined from the first surface in the axial direction. The second axial length is shorter than the first axial length.
Claims11
A cancel cam comprising:
- an annular member comprising an outer peripheral portion, an inner peripheral portion, and a first surface, the annular member being rotatable integrally with a steering shaft about a rotation axis, the first surface facing in an axial direction parallel to the rotation axis;
- a cam wall configured to return a turn signal switch from an operating position to a neutral position, the cam wall extending from the outer peripheral portion in the axial direction and extending along the outer peripheral portion in a circumferential direction;
- and
- at least one reinforcing rib extending from the cam wall to the inner peripheral portion and coupling the cam wall to the annular member,
- the cam wall having a first axial length defined from the first surface in the axial direction,
- the inner peripheral portion having a second axial length defined from the first surface in the axial direction, and
- the second axial length being shorter than the first axial length.
