Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove the problem of requiring a number of leaf springs 38 in permitting variety of actuating forces to cope with variety of clicking forces, or requiring a number of bearings 42 and clicking members 47 in order to obtain a variety of clicking angles in a conventional rotary type electrical part having a click. SOLUTION: The rotary type electrical part having a click comprises an operational axis 2 rotatably attached thereto by a support member 1, a rotor 9 having a plurality of recessed and protruded portions 9c on the entire surface which is rotated by the axis 2, a driver 4 whose movement in the rotational direction in limited while being movably held in the axial direction, and a spring member 3 for elastically urging the driver 4 to the rotor 9. The driver 4 is provided with a protrusion 4e for conducting engagement and disengagement between itself and the portions 9c of the rotor 9. Therefore, in order to allow a variety of actuating forces to cope with a variety of clicking forces, only the spring member 3 for changing the actuating force and the driver 4 for changing the clicking force have to be made ready. Thus, such forces can be handled with a less number of parts, comparing to the conventional electrical part.
