ABSTRACT:
A unit structure for a hazard switch used for automobiles. A knob (1) is mounted at a position adjacent to the driver's seat, the knob (1) has a moving block (2) at the rear position of the knob (1). A flasher unit (50) is disposed at the terminal block (B) of the hazard switch (4). The terminal block (B) is composed of a first terminal block (B1) and a second terminal block (B2) mechanically coupled to the first terminal block (B1). Upon an upper surface of the second terminal block (B2), there are mounted electric parts of a discrete type, such as a flasher relay (Ry), a shunt resister (R), electrolytic condensers (C1) and (C2), a jumper wire, and the like. The unit structure of the invention reduces the number of intermediate harnesses, terminals fabrication processes, and parts, and minimizes the size of the hazard switch per se and the current by changing the electric circuit and switch.
