Lever switch

A lever switch comprising:

• a base member;
• a first switch knob member rotatable around a rotational axis thereof with respect to the base member;
• a first click-stop mechanism including a first elastic member and a first actuator biased by the first elastic member, the first click-stop mechanism providing a clicking sensation accompanying a rotational operation of the first switch knob member;
• a substrate having a first contact portion on a first surface thereof;
• and
• a first slider configured to rotate integrally with the first switch knob member so as to be in sliding contact with and be separated from the first contact portion,
• wherein the base member includes:
• a first supporting surface formed along a surface of a first cylinder having a first center line on the rotational axis of the first switch knob member;
• and
• a second supporting surface formed along a surface of a second cylinder having a diameter larger than that of the first cylinder, the second cylinder having a second center line on the rotational axis of the first switch knob member, the second supporting surface being located on one side of the second cylinder with respect to the rotational axis,
• wherein the first click-stop mechanism is supported in the base member such that the first actuator protrudes from the second supporting surface,
• wherein the first switch knob member includes:
• a first supported surface rotatably supported by the first supporting surface;
• and
• a second supported surface rotatably supported by the second supporting surface, the second supported surface having a first cam portion provided with dents and bumps,
• and wherein the first slider is provided on an opposite side of the second supporting surface with respect to the rotational axis.
