摘要： A steering wheel has a steering wheel body which includes a boss for being fixed to a steering shaft, a ring portion metal core, spoke portion metal cores, a covering portion covering the ring portion metal core and the spoke portion metal cores, and a pad portion provided generally centrally of a ring portion, the pad portion being molded integrally with the covering portion. The steering wheel further includes an air bag device provided between the pad portion and the boss. A cloth insert is mounted on a metal core portion, forming part of the steering wheel body, and is embedded in the pad portion so that the insert can flex when the air bag device is expanded.

摘要： A steering wheel has a ring core embedded in a gripping ring, a plurality of spokes extending in the ring core, a plurality of spoke cores embedded in the associated spokes. A connecting member connects at least two spoke cores together. A coupling mechanism couples the boss to the connecting member. The coupling mechanism includes an cylindrical support formed on the connecting member, and a pair of spaced ribs formed on the boss for holding the support. The connecting member fits between the ribs when the connecting member is coupled to the boss. A bolt fastens the support to the ribs.

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.

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： The cores of the spoke portions which extend to both right and left each comprises an outer portion and an inner portion. The outer portion and inner portion are coupled by a joint. The joint is coupled to the boss plate below the outer portions and centering on the steering shaft, it extends to both right and left. Each of the outer portions extends starting from the core of the ring portion at a point more forward than the steering shaft. The inner portions connecting the outer portions and the joint extend obliquely as seen in a plan view. While four connecting cores are provided to run along the edge profile of the pad portion, one of the connecting cores couples the two inner portions obliquely extending. The air bag device can be inserted through an opening formed by the joint and the like. Not only the stiffness of the coupled cores but also the stiffness of die casting molds is secured. Leather member is installed on part of the surface of the steering wheel. The cover of the ring portion has a groove formed on the border between the leather member and the exposed area on either side and the leather member is installed by fitting its edge portions into the grooves.

摘要： A steering wheel that includes a body integrally formed from ring and spoke cores and a boss, has ring core, spoke core covers integrally formed with a central pad. The boss includes a through hole having an inner peripheral surface with a first serration. The steering shaft includes a bolt portion at a distal end and a second serration capable of engaging the first serration. The distal end of the steering shaft is inserted into the through hole of the boss so that the first serration engages the second serration. Then a nut is placed on the bolt portion by a tool capable of temporarily and releasably holding the nut and accessing the bolt portion through a space defined between the body and the boss. Thereafter, the nut is fastened on the bolt portion by a jig.
