  • the tip portion 123A slides into the concave portion 113 provided adjacent to the convex portion 112. Since the contact point changes from the top of the convex portion 112 to the concave portion 113, the contact angle between the tip portion 123A and the sliding surface 111 suddenly decreases, and the magnitude of the return force by the coil spring 124 also suddenly decreases.
  • the magnitude of the return force by the coil spring 124 changes from 0.8 [N] to -2. It becomes as small as 1 [N]. Further, the magnitude of the return force by the coil spring 124 becomes a negative value, so that a force in a direction in which the rotation angle increases is applied to the operation lever 120.

  • a restoring force is generated in the torsion spring 140. Therefore, when the operator who operates by touching the operation lever 120 operates the operation lever 120 at an angle larger than 10 ° and then releases the operation lever 120, the return force of the torsion spring 140 causes the operation lever 120 to rotate.

Therefore, the operation feeling when the operation lever 120 is rotated in the range where the rotation angle exceeds 11.5 ° and is less than 20 ° is the operation feeling when the operation lever 120 is rotated in the range where the switch 130 is turned on. It will be clearly different from the operation feel. Therefore, the operator who operates the operation lever 120 can determine that the switch 130 is out of the turning range by using the change in feel as a determination criterion when the rotation angle exceeds 11.5 °. ..
