Abstract
An operating device includes a switch member having a shaft holding part for holding a base end of a shaft member, an operating member having a mounting part formed in a substantially cylindrical shape which is adapted to be engaged with an end portion of the shaft member, and a stopper member which is engaged for mounting with the mounting part. The stopper member restricts relative movement of the shaft member in a state where a gap is left for permitting displacement of the shaft member in an axial direction, and releases the restriction when a load beyond a predetermined load in the axial direction of the shaft member is applied and locking members is deformed, thus permitting relative movement of the operating member with respect to the shaft member.
Claims15
An operating device comprising:
- a switch member having a shaft member;
- an operating member having a mounting part which is mounted on an end portion of the shaft member;
- and
- a stopper member which restricts relative movement of the operating member with respect to the shaft member in a state where a gap for permitting relative displacement of the operating member with respect to the shaft member in an axial direction of the shaft member is left in the mounting part, wherein
- the stopper member is a separate body assembled to the mounting part of the operating member and configured so as to release a restriction on the relative movement in a case where a load beyond a predetermined load is applied to the operating member in the axial direction of the shaft member, and
- wherein the mounting part is directly engaged with the shaft member.
An operating device comprising:
- a switch member having a rotatable shaft member;
- an operating member having a mounting part which is mounted on an end portion of the rotatable shaft member;
- and
- a stopper member which restricts relative movement of the operating member with respect to the rotatable shaft member in a state where a gap for permitting relative displacement of the operating member with respect to the rotatable shaft member in an axial direction of the shaft member is left in the mounting part, wherein
- the stopper member is configured so as to release a restriction on the relative movement in a case where a load beyond a predetermined load is applied to the operating member in the axial direction of the rotatable shaft member.
