Abstract

A mechanism, used with a steering wheel of an automobile, which includes a first casing part mounted on the steering wheel and a second casing part, mounted on a combination switch of the automobile, that rotatably engages with the first casing part to form a casing body of an electrical connector for housing a length of a flat cable wound around inside. The casing body is assembled from fewer assembling parts and does not need a difficult process to connect itself to a combination switch of the steering wheel. The first casing part is integrally formed with a lower cover of the steering wheel, and there is provided a locking mechanism between the second casing part and the combination switch to prevent a relative rotation between the second casing part and the combination switch.
