Abstract: A shift knob structure having a knob main body 1 formed by a skeleton 2 and a skin member 3 encapsulating over the skeleton 2. A switch 6 is provided on the knob main body 1. A conductor wire 7 is buried in the skeleton 2 and connected at one end to the terminal 6a of the switch 6. The skeleton 2 has a switch mounting portion 2f for mounting the switch 6 and a first support groove 2j formed in a bottom surface of the switch mounting portion 2f to insert therein the conductor wire 7. The skeleton 2 has a second support groove 2n formed in a lateral side thereof to insert therein the conductor wire 7. A press-fit hole 2k is formed open between the second support groove 2n and the first support groove 2j to pass the conductor wire 7 therethrough. As a result of this shift knob construction, the number of bend portions in a conductor wire is decreased, thereby reducing the number of fabricating processes and cost.

Abstract: A shift knob structure having a press button 5 with an improved pressing operation. In order to prevent a looseness at the press button 5, a knob main body 1 of the shift knob structure is comprised of the press button 5 for use in operating a detent rod 7, and of a press button installing member 4 in which the press button 5 is movable toward or away from the detent rod 7. The press button 5 has a guide projection 5c at its circumferential part. The press button installing member 4 is formed with a guide groove 4g having a first width part 4g1 and a fourth width part 4g4 to which a guide projection 5c is engaged at the inner wall of the cylinder part 4d.
