WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/203935

Kind Code:

Abstract:

According to the present invention, inconvenience such as the generation of an abnormal sound, etc., caused by contact with a steering wheel is suppressed by preventing a rotary connector from rattling or from being lifted depending on a harness wiring state. A fixing structure of a rotary connector (11) has: a projection piece (15) that fixes the rotary connector (11) to a combination switch (21); and a locked part (22a) to which the projection piece (15) is locked, wherein a locking claw (31) that projects laterally is formed at the leading end of the projection piece (15). The locking claw (31) of the projection piece (15) is integrally provided with a flexible urging part (15a) that displaces and urges the locking claw (31) in a locking direction. In the locking claw (31), an abutment surface (32) that abuts against the locking side corner (23) of the locked part (22a) from an opposite side is formed.
