Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep steering pad in stationary state while a car is being steered by sliding a sliding body to a sliding groove formed on the lower surface of the steering pad and the upper surface of a steering column and an eddy-shaped slit formed at a steering wheel. CONSTITUTION:When a steering wheel 7 is revolved, the eddy-shaped slit 10 of the wheel 10 is also revolved. Besides, the slide section 17b of a sliding body 17 moves in the sliding groove 15 of a steering column 5 and the joint 17a of the sliding body 17 moves inside or outside the slit 10. Furthermore, since the sliding groove 16 of a steering pad 11 is always located on the sliding groove 15 of the steering column 5 through the sliding body 17, the steering pad 11 is kept in stationary state. As a result, the operation of the various operation switches 14 on the steering pad 11 is facilitated. In addition, a switch 14 and an electric circuit section can be connected through a lead wire 19 by inserting the lead wire 19 in the insertion hole 18 of the sliding body 17.
