A wire (14) is pivotably supported at both ends in the enclosure, and a bent end of the wire (14) is rotatably supported by a fixed member (8) on a side of a seat. The enclosure is supported on the side of the seat so as to be capable of swinging freely, and a protective cover (18) of an accordion shape for storing the wire and signal cables (17) connected to the switches is mounted between the enclosure and the fixed member. A holder (19) formed of a rigid resilient member is fitted on part of the wire in the protective cover (18).</p> |
