Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a kill switch for motorcycles, tricycles, etc.

[Conventional technology]

Motorcycles have traditionally been equipped with a kill switch at the base of the throttle grip, but conventional kill switches have a see-saw type switch operating lever housed in the housing, and an OFF (OFF) switch located on both arms of the switch operating lever. ) The operating section and the RUN operating section are formed in a substantially symmetrical shape, and openings corresponding to the respective operating sections are provided on the surface of the housing, and the off operating section is connected to the RUN operating section from one of the openings. The operating portions can each be projected onto the housing surface from the other opening.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, when the off operation section and the run operation section are formed in a substantially symmetrical shape, the operation feel of the operation section protruding from the opening is similar, so that the distinction between them is not necessarily clear.

In view of the above, the present invention aims to provide a kill switch for a motorcycle that can clearly distinguish between the two operating sections and make the entire kill switch more compact by making the operating feel different. .

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention forms the off operation section of the switch operation rod with a large display area and approximately fan shape in side view, and the run operation section with small surface area and approximately L shape in side view. In addition, an electric contact is provided on the side surface of the arm of the switch operating rod on the side where the OFF operating portion is formed.
