Abstract
A hand lever apparatus (throttle lever) is provided which has the automatic restoring function (automatic idle rotation opening position restoring function) to cope with accidents and steadily hold a desired operation position (intermediate opening position of a throttle valve). The hand lever apparatus has a rotationally operable main lever (30) and a sub-lever (40) rotationally operated to pull a cable (10a) connected to a driven member (CV). The main lever (30) has a brake plate (34). By pressing the brake plate (34) against an operating portion (42) of the sub-lever (40), rotation of the sub-lever (40) is regulated to hold the sub-lever (40) in a position.
