HANDLEBAR SWITCH DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve downsizing of the whole handlebar switch device provided on a handlebar of a vehicle.SOLUTION: A handlebar switch device includes: a switch case (70); an operation part (71) which is supported on the switch case (70) and is displaced between an oscillation position and a standby position; energization means for energizing the operation part (71) to the standby position; electric conduction signal output means (71a) which is made in a non-electric conduction state in the state in which the operation part (71) is positioned at the standby position, and is changed into an electric conduction state by performance of a displacement operation from the standby position to the oscillation position and outputs an electric conduction signal; drive power supply means (71b) which is provided outside the switch case (71) and supplies an electric power for driving a head lamp (91) or the like; and control means (83) for controlling the drive power supply means (71b). The control means (83) gives a power supply command to the drive power supply means (71b) upon reception of the electric conduction signal, and continues supply of power to the drive power supply means (71b) even if reception of the electric conduction signal is terminated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】車両のハンドルバーに設けられたハンドルスイッチ装置において、スイッチ装置全体の小型化を図る。【解決手段】スイッチケース(70)と、スイッチケース(70)に支持されて揺動位置と待機位置とに変位する操作部（71）と、待機位置に操作部(70)を付勢する付勢手段と、操作部(71)が待機位置に位置する状態で非通電状態となり、待機位置から揺動位置に変位操作されることにより通電状態に変化して通電信号を出力する通電信号出力手段(71a)と、スイッチケース(70)の外に設けられ、ヘッドランプ(91)等を駆動するための電力を供給する駆動電力供給手段(71b)と、駆動電力供給手段(71b)を制御する制御手段(83)と、を含み、制御手段(83)は、通電信号を受信すると駆動電力供給手段(71b)に電力供給指令を与え、通電信号の受信を終了しても、駆動電力供給手段(71b)への電力供給を継続する。【選択図】図４
