より、二段階的にスイッチ操作を行うことができるよう
にしたものは、一般に良く知られている。[Prior Art] Conventionally, for example, in a winker switch for turning on a winker lamp of an automobile, etc., two switches (first switch and second switch) that respectively operate according to a turning operation position of an operation lever of a switch device. ) Is provided, and when the course change of the automobile is relatively small, such as when making a slight lane change while going straight, the operation lever is turned to the intermediate position to turn on the first switch, When the course is relatively changed, such as when turning a corner, the operation lever is turned to a position larger than the intermediate position to turn on the second switch, thereby performing a two-step switch operation. The ones that make it possible are generally well known.

復帰し、ウインカランプもこれに応じて消燈するように
なっている。In such a switch device, normally, the operating lever is temporarily locked in the turning position where the second switch is turned ON, and after the vehicle has finished turning a corner, the steering wheel is returned to the neutral position for the first time. Although it returns to the position, it is not locked at the intermediate position where the first switch is turned on, and automatically returns to the neutral position after a predetermined time (for example, about 2 to 3 seconds) elapses regardless of the steering wheel operation. The blinker lamp is also turned off accordingly.
