ABSTRACT:
A housing 3 of an ignition key assembly 1, which is assembled to a steering column 8, is formed in a one piece construction with an arm 6. The arm 6 includes a base 6a and a support 6b. The base 6a extends toward the driver's seat along the underside of the steering column 8. The support 6b extends from the tip of the base 6a and is of a U-shape through which the steering column 8 extends. The support 6b of the arm 6 has seats 6c and 6d to which a turn signal switch 9 and wiper switch 10 are mounted, respectively. The support 6b also has fastening surfaces 6e, 6e and 6d, 6d for mounting the switches 9 and 10, respectively. The mounting construction simplifies the mounting operation of switch units, such as a turn signal switch and a wiper switch, and increases the rigidity of the mounting construction so as to improve the feeling of operating the switches.
