Abstract:
[Object] To enable to visually recognizing information displayed on an outer circumferential surface of a member from an axial direction of the member and capable of switching selection elements while viewing the device from the axial direction.[Solution] A rotary switching device includes: a cylindrical first member that includes an outer circumferential surface on which predetermined information is displayed; a second member that is rotatable relative to the first member; a plurality of selection elements among which a selection target is switched in accordance with relative positions of the first member and the second member; a mirror surface part that is formed by a surface disposed around the outer circumferential surface of the first member and intersecting an axial direction of the first member, and that is configured to specularly reflect the information displayed on the outer circumferential surface of the first member to enable the information to be visually recognized from the axial direction of the first member; and an indicating part configured to indicate the selection element that is selected.
