ABSTRACT:
In order to enlarge a stroke of a movable piece displaced by pivoting a lever in upward and downward directions, a lever switch for a vehicle according to the present invention has a lever mounted pivotably on a case, and a movable piece moved by pivoting movement of the lever. An arm body is disposed between the case and the movable piece. In the arm body there are a shaft portion supported pivotably by the case at one end, a thrusting portion driving the movable piece at the other end, and a contacting portion brought into contact with the lever at an approximately central part. The arm body includes a first arm, at an extremity of which the shaft portion is disposed, a second arm, at an extremity of which the contacting portion is disposed, and a third arm, at an extremity of which the thrusting portion is disposed. In the arm body, the shaft portion is disposed in an approximately horizontal direction from a nearly central point O, the contacting portion is disposed in an approximately vertical direction from the nearly central point O, and the thrusting portion is formed in an inclined direction from the nearly central point O.
