Abstract
A motor vehicle turn signal cancelling device operated by the turn signal cancelling pin projecting from the steering wheel of the motor vehicle includes a frame structure to be attached to the steering column of the motor vehicle near the steering wheel. A fixture having first and second oppositely extending arms is pivotally mounted to the frame structure and for movement along the longitudinal direction of the pivot axis. A third arm has its proximal end overlapping the fixture and extends outwardly from the fixture generally perpendicular to the first and second extending arms of the fixture. The fixture is biased upwardly against the proximal end of the third finger. A turn signal actuating lever is pivotally connected to the frame structure adjacent the fixture with its pivotal axis spaced from and parallel with the pivotal axis of the fixture. The distal end of the third arm is interconnected with the proximal end of the turn signal actuating lever so that as the turn signal actuating lever is moved in one direction about its pivotal axis, the fixture is moved in the opposite rotational direction about its pivotal axis. Cancelling pin engagement fingers are pivotally mounted near the distal ends of each of the first and second extending arms of the fixture to engage the cancelling pins. The cancelling pin engagement fingers are biased to pivot against the distal ends of the first and second extending arm to which it is attached.
