STEERING SWITCH DEVICE AND STEERING WHEEL
First Claim
1. A steering switch device, which is mounted on a steering wheel, comprising:
- a linear switch that comprises a hollow insulator having restorability and two electrode wires arranged spirally along an inner surface of a hollow part in the hollow insulator while being kept not in contact with each other, wherein a winding pitch coiling spirally the electrode wires is at least not more than 10 mm; and
a detecting device that detects a press of the linear switch by sensing a contact of the electrode wires,wherein the linear switch is arranged so as to be along at least part of a surface of the steering wheel.
