Abstract
To provide a structure in which a rotary connector, a turning signal switch and a wiper switch can be combined into a sub-assembly, and besides even when an unduly-large force acts on the turning signal switch or the wiper switch after the rotary connector and the two switches are mounted on their respective mounting portions, an adverse effect of this force on the rotary connector can be suppressed.A lever switch mounting structure includes provisionally-retaining means for provisionally retainingly engaging a turning signal switch and a wiper switch respectively with a rotary connector before these switches and the rotary connector are mounted on their respective mounting seats, and fastening tongue portions which are provided respectively at the turning signal switch and the wiper switch, and are opposed to their respective switch mounting seats with a gap formed therebetween when the rotary connector, provisionally retainingly engaged with these switches, is mounted on the connector mounting seats, and when the fastening tongue portions are moved together with the turning signal switch and the wiper switch in a direction to eliminate the gaps, and are connected respectively to …
