とし、電気的接続の向上を図ることができる。 As described above, the present invention provides a steering wheel whose central portion is fixed to the steering shaft, and which is provided with a spiral slit, and which is provided with a spiral slit on the top surface of the steering column that supports the steering shaft, and on the bottom surface of the steering pad where various operation switches are provided. A sliding groove is provided on the radial line of the slit, and a sliding body is formed into an H-shape by a connecting part that slides on the slit and a sliding part that is provided perpendicularly to both ends of the connecting part and slides in both sliding grooves. By providing this, even when the steering wheel rotates due to the rotation of the steering wheel,
The steering pad allows various operation switches to be easily performed while the steering wheel is stationary and the steering wheel rotates smoothly. Furthermore, since the lead wire is introduced to the outside through the insertion hole of the sliding body, a slip ring is not necessary, and the electrical connection can be improved.
