Abstract: A multiposition switch for operatively selecting any of the multipositions which are aligned and spaced from each other in two different directions. The multiposition switch includes a structure wherein all stationary contacts to be switched by first and second switching contacts are insert-molded onto an insulator member simultaneously and are fixed thereonto exactly in a predetermined arrangement. A first contact holder is moved in a first direction when an operation knob is operated in the first direction. A second contact holder is moved in a second direction when the operation knob is operated in the second direction while the first contact holder is maintained in a neutral position.

Abstract: A two-directional switch for a motor cycle and the like having a control knob for a contact holder adapted to slide in a first direction and a second direction intersecting the first direction approximately at right angles therewith, and having the parts so arranged that the sliding movement in the first direction is guided by a guide plate, and the sliding movement in the second direction is guided by a guide member for guiding the guide plate, while engaging members are provided respectively between the guide plate and the contact holder or control knob and between the guide plate and guide member so as to prevent the control knob from unduly moving from a predetermined position in either of the first and second directions for maintaining the expected switch functioning.

Abstract: A signal switching system for actuating winking lights to be used for motor vehicles, for example, two-wheeled vehicles comprises an operational lever resiliently maintained in a substantially upward direction; one movable electrical contact portion for sending out an operational signal for actuating the winking signals, which is to be movable toward right and left with respect to a neutral state thereof for selectively contacting one of fixed contacts in accordance with a corresponding movement of the operational lever with respect to a neutral position while being arranged to be resiliently back to the neutral state thereof; and a cancelling signal switch means to send out a signal for winking signals to be put off when the operational lever is pushed substantially downward at the neutral position thereof.

Abstract: A device for capping a supplying opening of a fuel-tank of a motor vehicle or the like, comprises a capping outer casing of T-shaped cross section, and cylinder-lock means centrally mounted inside the outer casing for holding and releasing a locking condition, wherein although a distance frictionally driven by respective projections mounted on a rotary member against resilient force is fully, automatically relaxed to permit respective locking bars to be projected for locking and thus, the device is locked when a key fitted in cylinder-lock means is left in a free condition, the key fitted is arranged to be not detachable from cylinder-lock means without further manual actuation thereof in the same direction of the free returning direction thereof.
