The structure is known. In this opener structure, the end of one connection member (cable) is directly coupled to a lever (operation handle member). Then, in order to prevent one connecting member from being operated when the lever is rotated so as to operate the other connecting member (cable), an idle portion is connected to a connecting portion between the end of one connecting member and the lever. A fitting part (bending part) is provided.

JP 2010-174519 A

  However, when the loose fitting portion is provided, there is a problem that when the lever is returned to the neutral position after the other connecting member is operated, the end portion of the one connecting member and the lever come into contact with each other to generate a sound. is there.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its object is to be able to independently operate two objects to be operated, regardless of which direction the lever is operated and the end of the connecting member and the lever device. It is providing the lever apparatus with which the sound by contact | abutting with this connection part does not generate | occur | produce.

  The lever device of the present invention is a lever device capable of independently operating two operation objects via two connection members. The lever device is capable of rotating separately from the lever that can rotate in both directions around the rotation axis, the first operating member that can hold the end of one connecting member, and the first operating member. And a second operating member capable of connecting and holding the end of the other connecting member. The first operation member and the second operation member can be rotated coaxially about a rotation axis. The first operating member rotates integrally with the lever when rotating in one direction of the lever, and via a first interlocking mechanism that avoids rotating together with the lever when rotating in the other direction of the lever. It is connected to the lever. The second operating member avoids rotating integrally with the lever when rotating in one direction of the lever, and via a second interlocking mechanism that rotates integrally with the lever when rotating in the other direction of the lever. It is connected to the lever.

  In the lever device of the present invention, since the first and second operating members are connected to the lever via the first and second interlocking mechanisms as described above, the first operation is performed when the lever is rotated in one direction. The member can rotate integrally with the lever, and the second operating member can be prevented from rotating integrally with the lever. When the lever is rotated in the other direction, the second operation portion can rotate integrally with the lever, and the first operation member can be prevented from rotating integrally with the lever. In this way, the first operating member and the second operating member can be separately rotated by rotating the lever in one direction and the other direction. Thereby, by operating the lever, one and the other operation objects can be independently operated via one and the other connection members held by the first and second operation members.

  In addition, since the first and second operation members can hold the end portions of one and the other connection members, the first and second operations can be performed even if the lever rotates in one direction and the other direction. The ends of one and the other connecting members do not move relative to the member. As a result, no matter whether the lever is operated in one direction or the other direction, the sound caused by contact between the end portions of the one and the other connecting members and the first and second operating members that are the connecting portions of the lever device is generated. It can be prevented from occurring.

  Preferably, in the above lever device, the first interlocking mechanism includes a first end portion capable of contacting the first contact portion of the first operation member. The second interlocking mechanism includes a second end portion that can come into contact with the second contact portion of the second operation member. The first interlocking mechanism pushes the first contact portion at the first end when the lever rotates in one direction, and the first contact portion and the first end when the lever rotates in the other direction. It is comprised so that contact | abutting of may be cancelled | released. The second interlocking mechanism releases the contact between the second contact portion and the second end portion when the lever is rotated in one direction, and the second contact portion is the second contact portion when the lever is rotated in the other direction. It is comprised so that it may push at an edge part.

  When the lever is rotated in one direction, the first contact portion is pushed by the first end portion, whereby the first operation portion can be rotated, and the second contact portion and the second end portion can be rotated. It is possible to avoid the rotation of the second operation unit by releasing the contact. When the lever is rotated in the other direction, the second contact portion is pushed by the second end portion, whereby the second operation portion can be rotated, and the first contact portion and the first end are rotated. It is possible to avoid the first operation portion from rotating by releasing the contact with the portion. Thereby, the 1st operation member and the 2nd operation member can be separately rotated by rotation to one direction of a lever, and both directions of other directions.

  In the lever device described above, preferably, the lever and the first end and the second end are integrally formed. Thereby, a lever apparatus can be made into a simple structure. Also, the lever device can be reduced in size.

  In the above lever device, preferably, the first operation member and the second operation member are arranged in such a direction that the first contact portion comes into contact with the first end portion and the second contact portion comes into contact with the second end portion. A spring member for biasing is further provided. Thereby, when the rotation of the lever is completed, the first operation member and the second operation member can be reliably returned to the original positions.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the two operation objects can be operated independently, and the end of the connecting member and the connecting portion of the lever device abut regardless of which direction the lever is operated. It is possible to provide a lever device that does not generate sound due to.
