ている。 A fixed gear 2 is attached to the upper end of the steering column 1, and a stationary gear 6 is attached to the main shaft 4 above the wheel boss 3 via a bearing 5. The fixed gear 2 and the stationary gear 6 have the same number of teeth and the same module, and are preferably made of non-conductive synthetic resin such as nylon or phenol in order to attach the slip ring and from the standpoint of attenuating meshing noise. . Note that the main shaft 4 is disposed coaxially with the steering column 1.

Planetary gears 9 and 10 that mesh with the stationary gear 6 and fixed gear 2 are fixed to the upper and lower ends, respectively.
At this time, from the standpoint of stability of wheel operation,
Two sets of rotary shafts 7 having planetary gears 9 and 10 at the upper and lower ends are arranged to face each other with the stationary gear 6 or fixed gear 2 in between.

る。 Two pairs of slip rings 11 and 12 are provided on opposing surfaces between the stationary gear 6 and the stationary gear 2, respectively, in the form of a double ring. This slip ring 1
1 and 12 can be electrically conductive by brushes 13 and 14 attached to the boss portion 3 so as to project upward and downward.
More specifically, as shown in FIG.
3 and 14 are insulating cases 15 attached to the boss portion 3
The coil spring 16 built into the insulating case 15 allows electrical conduction.
In addition, the slip rings 11, 1 in the same plane
It is desirable to form a wall made of an insulating material between 1, 12, and 12 to prevent the conductive grease from sagging due to thermal effects. Also,
A lead wire 22 from the switches 18 is connected to the slip ring 11, and a lead wire 23 that conducts to the operating section is connected to the slip ring 12.

体化された取付板２０を介して固着されている。 In the above configuration, a pad 19 that is separated from the wheel and has switches 18 attached thereto as shown in FIG. 1 is fixed to the stationary gear 6 via a mounting plate 20 that is integrated with the stationary gear 6. There is.
次に、上記実施例の使用態様を説明する。 Next, how the above embodiment is used will be explained.

性・操作性が阻害されることがない。 When the ring portion 21 of the switch is rotated about the main shaft 4, the planetary gear 10 revolves around the fixed gear 2 while rotating. At this time,
The planetary gear 9 meshing with the stationary gear 6 also revolves around the stationary gear 6 while rotating on its own axis, and the stationary gear 6 is maintained in a stationary state. Therefore, switch class 18
Since the pad 19 to which the switch is attached does not follow the rotation of the ring part 21, the visibility and operability of the switches 18 are not hindered.

スイツチ類を装着可能となる。 Since the steering wheel assembly structure of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, the planetary gear mechanism allows multiple sets of electrical connections from the pads to the steering column side in a configuration in which the pads do not follow the rotation of the wheel and are stationary. As a result, many meters etc. can be installed on the pad.
Switches can be attached.
