摘要： A steering wheel includes an air bag device located centrally of a steering wheel. The air bag device includes an air bag, an inflator for supplying gas to the air bag to inflate the air bag, and a bag holder for holding the air bag and the inflator. Bolts, which are attached to the inflator, are inserted in bolt holes of the air bag and bolt holes of the bag holder. This couples the air bag, the inflator and the bag holder to each other. The bolts and nuts are used for securing the integrally joined air bag, inflator and bag holder to the steering wheel. As a result, the number of bolts and nuts need to secure the air bag device to the steering wheel is reduced.

摘要： A steering wheel having a metal framework is disclosed. The framework includes an annular grip core, spoke cores extending inward from the grip core, a boss plate fixed on a steering shaft, and a frame located inside the grip core to connect the spoke cores. The steering wheel further includes a pad located in the grip core, an air bag device, and inserts embedded in the pad. The inserts include portions that are attached to the frame. The inserts prevent the pad from scattering when the air bag device is activated.

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, 51, 28 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, 51, 28 includes a boss plate 33, a cylindrical portion 34, 74 with a serration 38, 68, 78, and a yoke portion 35 with through holes 36, 37, 66, 67, 76, 77. The cylindrical portion 34, 64, 74 is fitted on the end of the steering shaft 30 such that the serrations 31, 38, 68, 78 mesh with each other, and a bolt 41, 81, 91 is inserted and screwed into the through holes 36, 37, 66, 67, 76, 77. A collar 47 fitted on the bolt 41, 81, 91 is fitted in the annular groove 32. Strain stress is never transmitted directly to the bolt 41, 81, 91. The boss 8, 51, 28 comprises a boss body 66 composed of the cylindrical portion 34, 64, 74 and the yoke portion 35, 65, 75, 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, 53 serves as a seal in a die so that molten aluminum is prevented from going around to the inside of the cylindrical portion 34, 64, 74 through an opening of the yoke portion 35, 65, 75, and therefore the extreme edge of the boss plate 33, 53 can be embedded in the spoke core bars 6A-6C.

摘要： A steering wheel for vehicles includes a metal ring core connected to a steering shaft by a boss plate and at least one spoke core. The ring core and the spoke core are covered with surface layers. A pad is arranged above the boss plate and at the center of the ring core. The pad is formed integrally with the surface layers. An air bag device is arranged between the pad and the boss plate to protect the driver of a vehicle when an impact is applied to the vehicle. The air bag device is supported by a holder which is connected to the spoke cores. The holder includes a mechanism for absorbing load that is applied to the steering wheel.
