Abstract

See full text

A spring piece is formed integrally as part of a drive arm that presses an operational body. The spring piece is disposed between a pressing part at which the drive arm presses the operational body and a linkage part that acts a swinging fulcrum. A contact part between the spring piece and a case is positioned closer to the linkage part than the bend bottom end is. When the drive arm swings from an initial orientation to a completely swung orientation, the spring piece can generate an elastic return force. The elastic return force does not largely increase even when the drive arm swings.
