摘要： A steering wheel body (1) comprises sheaths (7a), (7b) which covers a ring core bar (5) and spoke core bars (6A-6C), and a pad (3) formed integrally with the sheaths. A boss (8) is integral with the spoke core bars. A steering shaft (30) is formed at a distal end thereof with a serration (31) and an annular groove (32). The boss (8) includes a boss plate (33), a cylindrical portion (34) with a serration (38) and a yoke portion (35) with through holes (36,37). The cylindrical portion (34) is fitted on the end of the steering shaft (30) such that the serrations (31,38) mesh with each other, and a bolt (41) is inserted and screwed into the through holes (36,37). A collar (47) fitted on the bolt (41) is fitted in the annular groove (32). Strain stress is never transmitted directly to the bolt (41). The boss (8) comprises a boss body (66) composed of the cylindrical portion (34) and the yoke portion (35) and the boss plate (33) fixed by welding to the boss body. When casting the spoke core bars (6A-6C) from aluminum, the boss plate (33) serves as a seal in a die so that molten aluminum is prevented from going around to the inside of the cylindrical portion (34) through an opening of the yoke portion (35) and therefore the extreme edge of the boss plate (33) can be embedded in the spoke core bars (6A-6C). In another aspect, a connecting portion for connecting the spoke core bars (6B,6C) to each other is made of aluminum by casting together with the core bars. The connecting portion is formed with a tapered through hole. The cylindrical portion of the boss formed separately is press-fitted in the through hole and the distal end portion of the cylindrical portion is subjected to caulking to be increased in diameter, so that the boss is firmly fixed to the connecting portion. Even if the boss is of the shape with an opening, the boss structure can be materialized without fail.

摘要翻译： 方向盘主体（1）包括覆盖环形芯棒（5）和辐条芯棒（6A-6C）的护套（7a），（7b））和与护套一体形成的垫（3）。 凸台（8）与辐条芯棒是一体的。 转向轴（30）在其前端形成有锯齿（31）和环形槽（32）。 凸台（8）包括凸台板（33），具有锯齿（38）的圆柱形部分（34）和带有通孔（36,37）的磁轭部分（35）。 圆筒部分（34）装配在转向轴（30）的端部上，使得锯齿（31,38）彼此啮合，并且将螺栓（41）插入并拧入通孔（36,37 ）。 安装在螺栓（41）上的套环（47）装配在环形槽（32）中。 应变应力从不直接传递到螺栓（41）。 凸台（8）包括由圆柱形部分（34）和轭部分（35）组成的凸起体（66）和通过焊接固定到凸台本体的凸台板（33）。 当从铝铸造辐条芯棒（6A-6C）时，凸台板（33）用作模具中的密封件，从而防止熔融铝通过开口的开口而到达圆柱形部分（34）的内部 轭部（35），因此凸台板（33）的最外边缘可嵌入轮辐芯棒（6A-6C）中。 在另一方面，用于将辐条芯棒（6B，6C）彼此连接的连接部分由铝制成，与芯棒一起铸造。 连接部形成有锥形通孔。 单独形成的凸台的圆筒部被压配合在通孔中，并且圆筒部的前端部进行铆接以直径增大，使得凸台牢固地固定到连接部。 即使凸台是具有开口的形状，也可以不经故障地实现凸台结构。
