Abstract

The utility model relates to a steering position angle indicator for an automobile. A cutting gear is arranged on the rotating shaft of an automobile steering wheel. A gear which is engaged with the cutting gear is arranged on the side of the automobile steering wheel. A square hole is arranged in the center of the gear. The same square hole is arranged on the bottom of an indication meter close to the instrument board of the automobile. So the rotation of the rotating shaft of the steering wheel can be transferred to an indicating gauge to make corresponding indication by means of flexible shaft whose both ends are square.

Description

Angle display for automobile steering wheel

The utility model relates to a car steering wheel angle display especially relates to one kind and uses the gear and the epaxial gear engagement of steering wheel pivot that have the quad slit, uses a both ends to transmit the action for the car steering wheel angle display that the instruction list does corresponding instruction for square flexible axle again.
