ABSTRACT:
A slide cover structure for a shift lever device for covering an operation groove from the interior of a housing regardless of zigzag shifting operation of the shift lever, in which shifting operation is made by moving the shift lever in a first direction and a second direction, comprising: a first cover plate which is formed by a flexible member elongated in a first direction and opposes to the operation groove and is formed in the housing; and a second cover plate which is provided the opposite side of the operation groove with respect to the first cover plate and which is elongated in the second direction, in which widthwise edge portions of the second cover plate are supported by second supporting portions formed on the first cover plate; wherein a plurality of projections are provided so as to form protrusions and recesses in lines at the widthwise edge portions of the first cover plate at the surface of the first cover plate opposite the surface at which the operation groove is disposed to allow the distal ends of the plurality of projections to contact the first supporting portions provided in the housing so that gaps between the first supporting portions and the first cover plate are maintained to allow the second cover plate to move in the second direction.
