Abstract
A lever switch for a vehicle including a boot having a good appearance. A manipulation lever 1 passes through a lever insertion hole 10a formed in a column cover 10 and is mounted pivotably in a switch case 5 by insertion. The boot 9 blocks a space between the switch case 5 and the lever insertion hole 10a, and a filling-up member 20 is engaged with a cut-off portion 9d of an opening portion 9c thereof, which is opened approximately in a trumpet shape. Engaging grooves 9f, with which guide rails 20a of the filling-up member 20 are engaged, are formed in inner surface portions opposite to each other of the cut-off portion 9d in the boot 9. Engaging grooves 2f are formed in the boot 9 in the inner surface portions opposite to each other of the cut-off portion, with which nails 20c or elastic nails 20d are engaged. In the filling-up member 20 there is formed a holding groove 20b, which holds a cord 21 wired on the manipulation lever 1 and hung therefrom together with a side wall 5h of the switch case 5 by putting the cord 21 between the holding groove 20b and the side wall 5h.
