Disclosed is a structure in which the left and right switch cases (unsigned) independent of the handle cover 19 are disposed on both ends of the handle cover 19 and the switches are provided with switches (unsigned). In other words, conventionally, the switch cases on the left and right sides are provided independently of the handle cover to make the switch case stand out and at the same time reduce the size of the handle cover.

However, since the left and right switch cases are independent of the handle cover, setting between the poles between the handle cover and the switch case is difficult, and the left and right poles tend not to coincide. It is important to set the gap constant in terms of maintaining the appearance, but in the above-described conventional structure, the gap between the left and right sides tends to be inconsistent, so it is necessary to adjust the gap between time and increase the number of assembly operations.

That is, in the conventional structure, there existed a problem that the external appearance or the number of assembly processes increased.
