Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/079108
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A bracket (3) is rotatable between a neutral position and a direction indication position, in accordance with a user operation. A ratchet (5) is slidable, in conjunction with rotation of the bracket (3), between a position at which same advances on to a rotation track (203) for a cancel cam (202) attached to a vehicle steering shaft (201) and a position at which same retracts from the rotation track. A first restricting member (6) defines a guide groove (63) that guides the sliding of the ratchet (5) and restricts displacement of the ratchet (5) in a direction along the rotation track (203). A second restricting member (8) is provided on the ratchet (5) and restricts displacement of the ratchet (5) in a direction intersecting both the sliding direction of the ratchet (5) and the direction along the rotation track (203). The guide groove (63) has an open end (631) opening towards the rotation track (203).
