ABSTRACT:
A combination switch (1) includes a wiper switch (11) and a lighting switch (12) that are fitted to a main body (10). A connection member (26) is accommodated in an accommodation space (23) defined by the main body (10) of the combination switch (1) and a rotor housing (24), and electrically connects a circuit on the chassis to a circuit on a steering wheel. The rotor housing (24) is engaged with the steering wheel by pins (241, 242) and is rotatably held by a rotor attachment (25) to the main body (10) of the combination switch (1). The result is a small combination switch apparatus combined with a rotary connector, which requires fewer parts and can be assembled by a small number of steps at a car production site.
