Abstract
A rotary switch device is provided that includes first and second switch mechanisms each formed from a movable contact point that pivots in response to pivoting of a pivoting shaft and a fixed contact point that comes into contact with the movable contact point at a set pivot position of the pivoting shaft, the first switch mechanism being formed from the movable contact point (65 to 68) disposed on one face of a single rotor (28) coaxially connected to the pivoting shaft (25) so that the rotor (28) cannot rotate relative to the pivoting shaft (25), and the fixed contact point (69 to 72) provided on an inner face, corresponding to one face of the rotor (28), of one (30) of a pair of case halves (30, 31) joined to each other while sandwiching the rotor (28) from opposite sides so as to form a switch case housing the rotor (28), and the second switch mechanism being formed from the movable contact point (85 to 88) disposed on the other face of the rotor (28) and the fixed contact point (89 to 92) provided on an inner face of the other case half (31) facing the other face of the rotor (28). This enables the dimensions to be reduced while decreasing the number of components.
