ABSTRACT:
To facilitate the assembly of wires for connecting a steering wheel and a gear box to each other, and to facilitate the regulation of neutral positions of the steering wheel and the gear box, first Bowden wires connected at one end to a steering wheel and second Bowden wires connected at one end to a gear box are connected at their other ends to each other in an intermediate interlocking device mounted between the steering wheel and the gear box. The intermediate interlocking device includes a first housing in which an intermediate follower pulley with the first Bowden wires wound therearound is accommodated, and a second housing in which an intermediate driving pulley with the second Bowden wires wound therearound is accommodated. If the housings are coupled to each other with a partition wall interposed therebetween, the pulleys are spline-coupled to each other at a predetermined phase.
