In order for a core metal member having three spoke parts to be usable in a three-spoke steering wheel and a two-spoke steering wheel having one fewer spoke part than the three-spoke steering wheel, one of the spoke parts of the core metal member is a separable spoke part, which is separable along separation marks provided on vertical spokes forming the separable spoke part. Each vertical spoke constituting the separable spoke part is provided with an indented first fragile portion and an indented second fragile portion which also act as the separation marks.

A steering wheel includes: a boss part; a ring part that is located at an outer circumferential side of the boss part; a plurality of spoke parts that connect the boss part and the ring part; and a core including: a core boss part; a core ring part that is located at an outer circumferential side of the core boss part; and core spoke parts that connect the core boss part and the core ring part, wherein: the plurality of spoke parts include true spoke parts having the core spoke parts, and a pseudo spoke part that does not have the core spoke parts; and the pseudo spoke part is mounted on the core ring part, and includes a separate retaining member that retains a shape of the pseudo spoke part.

A vehicle steering wheel comprising a central part a movable structure comprising at least a portion of a rim pivotally mounted with respect to the central part (120, 16) between: a locked position and at least one retracted position; an actuator for pivoting the movable structure between its locked position and its retracted position; a locking device which is movably mounted between an engaged position for locking the movable structure in its locked position, and a disengaged position allowing the pivoting of the movable structure, wherein the locking device comprises a hinge portion a locking portion arranged to lock the movable structure, a locking arm connecting the hinge portion and the locking portion wherein the locking arm comprises a resilient inner hinge to allow recovery of mechanical play between the locking portion and the movable structure.

A steering wheel includes a steering hub portion, a wheel portion and a spoke portion. The spoke portion extends from the steering hub portion and is connected with the wheel portion. The wheel portion includes a core metal and a cover layer. The core metal circles around the steering wheel. The cover layer covers the core metal. A vibrator housing portion is provided at a part in a circling direction of the core metal. The core metal includes a U-shaped cross section in the vibrator housing portion in a radial direction of the wheel portion. A partition wall is provided inside of the core metal to divide and form the vibrator housing portion. A case is attached to the core metal to cover the vibrator housing portion. The vibrator is disposed in the vibrator housing portion between the core metal and the case. The vibrator is attached to the case.

A steering device includes a rotation central portion having a rotation axis Ax of the steering device and a steering unit connected to the rotation central portion. The direction in which the rotation axis of the rotation central portion extends is an axial direction. One of directions perpendicular to the axial direction is a radial direction. A direction perpendicular to the axial direction and the radial direction is a width direction. The steering unit protrudes from the rotation central portion in the radial direction in plan view of the steering device in the axial direction. A maximum width of the steering unit in the width direction is less than or equal to a maximum width of the rotation central portion in the width direction.

A steering wheel includes: a hub; a rim connected to the hub through a plurality of spokes; and a first steering wheel remote control and a second steering wheel remote control arranged on sides of the hub, respectively, in a symmetric manner. A biological parameter measuring apparatus includes: a first conductive bezel arranged around the first steering wheel remote control; a second conductive bezel arranged around the second steering wheel remote control; and a signal processor, which is electrically connected to the first and second conductive bezels, configured to process and calculate a biological parameter based on a signal detected by at least one of the first conductive bezel or the second conductive bezels. The first conductive bezel is spaced apart from the second conductive bezel.

A steering wheel provided with a vibration device. The vibration device includes a vibration motor with an eccentric weight attached to a rotational axis protruding out of a motor body and a mounting bracket which mounts the motor on a mounting section located at a region continuous with a ring section on a steering wheel core. The mounting section includes a vibration receiving section and a mounting base. The mounting bracket includes a pressing section which presses the motor body against the vibration receiving section and a mounting tongue which is secured to the mounting base. The mounting bracket is mounted on the mounting base with the motor body disposed on the pressing section in such a manner as to press a region of the motor body facing the vibration receiving section against the vibration receiving section and transmit a vibration of the motor body to the vibration receiving section.
