Abstract
The signal transmission device 46 is structured such that a rotator formed as a rotating member is disposed inside and concentrically with an outer cylinder 47 formed as a fixed member, a spirally arranged electrical cable is stored in an annular storage chamber 60 formed between the outer cylinder 47 and rotator, and one end 50a of the electrical cable 50 is supported in the outer cylinder 47, whereas the other end 50b of the electrical cable 50 is supported in the rotator. In the signal transmission device for a steering roller connector 46, a canceler portion 57 is formed integrally in the upper cover 53 of the rotator. The canceler portion 57, as the steering is rotated and returned, contacts a return portion 59 formed in a turn signal cancel mechanism to thereby return turn signal lever 43 to a neutral position.
