ABSTRACT:
A switch device is provided in which the pressing force imparted to a handling lever is transmitted through a link member to a push switch provided with a push-lock mechanism. Such a device can be used where there is limited mounting space, such as in a vehicle. The invention includes a push switch, a handling lever, a link member, an elongated hole, and a connecting pin moveable within the elongated hole, and is characterized by a restraining wall for synchronizing the position of the handling lever and the state of the slider by restraining the movement of the connecting pin. According to the invention, the state of the push switch which is provided with a push-lock mechanism and the position of the lever are synchronized in that the handling lever does not return to an unpushed position when the slider is in the locked position. This is achieved by the configuration of the connecting pin, the elongated hole and the restraining wall.
