Abstract
A mounting construction which improves the mounting operation of a combination switch (3) to a steering column (1) of an automobile. The mounting construction includes a bracket (2) provided with two integral fastening projections (23, 23) which extend parallel to the steering column (1) from a key cylinder (22) of an ignition switch, and an integral threaded hole (24) located above the steering column (1). The fastening projections (23, 23) each have a first longitudinal projection (25) and a recess (26). A trapezoidal-shaped base (4) of the combination switch (3) has an insertion hole (41) in the middle of an upper side and two fitting holes (42, 42) on a lower side. The fitting holes (42, 42) are through-holes which extend parallel to the steering column (1) and into which the fastening projections (23, 23) of the bracket (2) are fitted. A resilient hook (43) and a second longitudinal projection (44) are provided in each of the fitting holes (42, 42). The resilient hooks (43, 43) are engaged with the recesses (26), (26) in each of the fastening projections (23, 23), and the second longitudinal projection (44) abuts the first longitudinal projection (25). A screw (7) is inserted through the insertion hole (41) and threaded into the threaded hole (24), thereby firmly fixing the base (4) of the combination switch to the bracket (2).
