The invention furthermore relates to a vehicle with an above switch (10).

A lever operation device includes a lever portion on which a first rotation operation about a first shaft is performed, a magnet attached to a tip portion of the lever portion, a magnetic sensor to detect movement of the magnet due to the first rotation operation performed on the lever portion, and a housing including a first room, in which the tip portion is attached, and a second room which is separated from the first room by a wall and in which the magnetic sensor is disposed.

An arrangement comprising an attachment and a self-propelled harvester is disclosed, with the attachment configured to harvest a crop and having a middle region for removable connection to a feeder housing of the self-propelled harvester. The attachment also includes lateral regions positioned adjacent to the middle region, with each having a bottom surface extending in a horizontal direction and a rear wall extending in a vertical direction. Lighting devices are positioned on the attachment above the respective bottom surface and below the top edge of the rear wall with light cones directed in the driving direction to illuminate a region in front of the attachment beyond the front edge of the bottom surface.

An electrical device controller includes a processor, and a memory for storing a program executed by the processor. The processor controls the electrical device in multiple operation modes including an automatic mode which automatically changes the operation state of the electrical device and a stop mode which stops the electrical device, controls the electrical device in an operation mode specified with an operating member operated by an occupant when the vehicle is manually driven, controls the operation state of the electrical device in the automatic mode regardless of the operation mode specified with the operating member when the vehicle is autonomously driven, and sets the operation mode of the electrical device at least temporarily to the stop mode when the operation mode specified with the operation member is switched to the stop mode from an operation mode other than the stop mode, when the vehicle is autonomously driven.

A multifunctional switch device for a vehicle includes a housing coupled to one side of the steering column, a lever switch protrudingly mounted on one side of the housing so as to be rotatably manipulated within a predetermined section range, a moving block disposed within the housing so as to be rotatably moved together with the lever switch, a retaining block being provided at one side of the moving block, a guide bush mounted at one side of the steering column so as to rotate together with the steering wheel, and a cancel cam configured to be operated by the guide bush depending on a manipulated state of the steering wheel to return the moving block that has been rotatably moved to its original position. The cancel cam includes a cam body rotatably coupled to the housing and a shock-absorbing rib elastically deformably disposed at the cam body.

A switch device includes a switch body including a switch contact point, a lever unit pivoted about the switch body to switch the switch contact point between different states, and a guard arranged on a lever shaft of the lever unit and shaped to conceal the switch body at the proximal end of the lever shaft. The lever shaft includes a root portion, which is connected to the switch body, and a bent portion, which is bent and extended from the root portion. The guard is shaped so that the distance to a pivotal center of the lever unit is not constant.

A switch device includes a switch body, which is arranged at the back side of a steering unit, and a lever unit, which is attached to the switch body to allow for switching by a pivotal operation about a first axis, which extends in the axial direction of a steering shaft. The lever unit includes a lever shaft, which extends in a direction intersecting the first axis of the pivotal operation, a lever head, which is arranged at the distal end of the lever shaft and has a larger dimension than the diameter of the lever shaft, and a push operation unit, which allows for switching by a push operation. The push operation unit is arranged so that the operation direction of the push operation is directed toward the first axis.

A vehicle drive assist system includes: an operation part that is operable from a neutral position to a first position at one side or a second position at another side; a switch part that outputs an ON signal or an OFF signal in accordance with a position of the operation part; a control part that generates a turn signal in response to an output of the switch part; a detection part that detects a rear side situation of a vehicle; and an alert part that performs an alert based on an output of the ON signal of the switch part and a detection result of the detection part, wherein in a case where an operation to the second position is performed when the turn signal in accordance with an operation to the first position is generated or in a case where an operation to the second position is performed after the turn signal in accordance with an operation to the first position is generated, a control that performs only a visual alert is performed.
