Abstract

An apparatus for returning a turn indicator operating lever to the neutral position in response to the turning of a steering wheel includes engagement pieces which abut against a canceling cam rotated in response to the turning of the steering wheel for the purpose of returning the operating lever to the neutral position. The engagement pieces are disposed on the one side of a steering shaft where the operating lever is disposed. It is therefore possible for various kinds of elements such as sensors to be disposed on the other side of the steering shaft.
