    Abstract: A steering wheel enabling support of an airbag module by distributing a load when the airbag activates to ensure prescribed deployment performance of the airbag without affecting the horn function. The steering wheel includes: a support unit that supports the airbag module enabling the airbag module to move along the Z-axis direction relative to the core metal; and a horn mechanism having a movable contact provided on the airbag module and a fixed contact provided on the pin of the support unit. When in a horn non-operating state, a stopper is separated by a distance D2 in the Z-axis direction relative to the airbag module and the distance D2 is farther than the distance D1 of the movable contact and the fixed contact in the Z-axis direction.

    Abstract: A steering wheel is disclosed enabling suppressing unnecessary rocking of the airbag module during airbag activation and thereby ensures prescribed deployment performance of the airbag cushion. In detail, the steering wheel is provided with a core metal having a boss part configured so as to be mountable on a steering shaft and an airbag module movably provided with respect to the core metal and having an airbag cushion that can be expanded and deployed. The stopper of the core metal is separated from the stopper contact part of the airbag module in a non-activated state of the airbag, and comes into contact with the stopper contact part due to movement or deformation of the airbag module caused by expansion and deployment of the airbag cushion during activation of the airbag.

    Abstract: A steering wheel providing minimal cost increase due to addition of a temperature adjustment function. The steering wheel, includes: a boss portion to be connected to a steering column; a grip portion to be gripped by a driver; and a spoke portion, which connects the boss portion and the grip portion to each other. The grip portion includes: a synthetic resin layer molded by a synthetic resin; a cored bar; a flexible porous material layer disposed on an outer peripheral surface side of the cored bar; and a heater element disposed on an outer surface of the porous material layer. The porous material layer and the heater element are covered by the synthetic resin layer.

    Abstract: A steering wheel enabling suppressing hanging down of an airbag module due to its own weight and stabilizing the position of the airbag module. The steering wheel includes a steering wheel body, an airbag module, and at least one coil spring that biases the airbag module in a direction separating from the steering wheel body. The coil spring is arranged between the steering wheel body and the airbag module in a state with the axis line thereof offset from that of a free state; thereby applying a force on the airbag module in a direction that intersects with the axis line of the coil spring in a free state.
