A bracket is rotatable between a neutral position and a direction indication position in response to an operation by a user. A ratchet is slidable between an entry position where the ratchet enters a rotating trajectory of a cancel cam mounted on a steering shaft of a vehicle and a retract position where the ratchet retracts from the rotating trajectory interlocking with rotation of the bracket. A cam surface forming protrusion is provided on the bracket, and includes a cam surface including a neutral holding portion that holds the ratchet at the retract position when the bracket is at the neutral position. A cam surface forming wall is fixed so as not to be interlocked with rotation of the bracket, and includes a cam surface including a portion that allows the ratchet to enter to the rotating trajectory when the bracket is rotated to the direction indication position.
