Abstract: A steering wheel for a vehicle may include a frame, a foam layer, a decorative member, a switch assembly and a contact element. The frame may include a central hub, a rim, and a spoke extending between the central hub and the rim. The foam layer may encase at least a portion of the frame. The decorative member may be mounted to the frame and may be at least partially formed of an electrically conductive material. The switch assembly may be mounted to the decorative member. The contact element may extend from the decorative member and may contact the frame to electrically connect the electrically conductive material of the decorative member with the frame.

Abstract: A vehicle steering wheel comprising a metallic hub, a rim, and at least one branch including a mechanical connection piece attaching the rim to the hub. The vehicle steering wheel additionally includes at least one second branch of polymer injected between the hub and the rim without a mechanical connection piece attaching the rim to the hub, the at least one second branch including at least one energy conductor. The steering wheel further comprising positioning means for positioning the at least one energy conductor before the injection of the polymer of the branch in such a manner as to guarantee a minimal distance between the at least one energy conductor and a surface of the polymer once it is injected.
