| 1. A lever switch device comprising:
a lever main body including a cylindrical shaft part extending in an axial direction;
a rotary electrical switching unit including:
a knob provided in the vicinity of a tip portion of the shaft part so as to rotate around the shaft part, wherein setting
condition thereof is switched depending on a rotational operation of the knob; and
a first connecting terminal provided in the vicinity of a tip portion of the shaft part so as to be electrically connected
to a first lead wire passing through the lever main body; and
a push-type electrical switching unit including:
a push-button provided in the vicinity of the tip portion of the shaft part so as to be reciprocated in the axial direction,
wherein setting condition thereof is switched depending on a pushing operation of the push-button;
a fixed contact extending in the axial direction; and
a second connecting terminal provided in the vicinity of a tip portion of the shaft part so as to be electrically connected
to the fixed contact and a second lead wire passing through the lever main body,
wherein the first lead wire passing through the lever main body is electrically connected to the first connecting terminal
in the vicinity of the tip portion of the shaft part, a tip of the first lead wire connected to the first connecting terminal
and a tip of the second lead wire connected to the second connecting terminal are positioned substantially in a same axial
position within the shaft part, and
