ABSTRACT:
An upper plate portion having a pair of openings formed therein, an external surface portion inclined to the inner side from an upper end of the outer circumference of the upper plate portion toward the lower side of the case, and a holding plate portion protruding from an inner surface of the external surface portion toward the inner side are integrally provided in a case. A cover is inserted into the case from the sides of the upper plate portion and the holding plate portion to be integrated with the case constitute a switch housing. Operating knobs are fitted to the case from the upper sides of the openings to thus assemble a switch unit. The switch unit is fixed to the side portion of a pad portion of a steering wheel, so that the operating knobs protrude to a space between the inner circumference of a ring portion and the pad portion.
