A steering wheel of a motor vehicle, with a hub arranged parallel to a longitudinal axis, and with a segment of a steering wheel rim comprising a rim portion. The rim portion is attached to the first spoke, which is attached to the hub, and the rim portion is attached to a second spoke, which is attached to the hub in a manner rotatable about a pivot axis running parallel to the longitudinal axis and offset in relation thereto. A steering device of a motor vehicle comprising a steering wheel.

Embodiments may allow the steering wheel to be received in a vehicle body to secure a space for the driver's seat in autonomous driving mode and prevent the steering wheel from interfering with the driver's body, thereby allowing for the driver's comfortable movement while preventing the driver from intervening in steering. It is also possible to implement a further simplified folding structure of the steering wheel, providing more advantages in terms of costs and space.

A steering wheel includes a steering wheel axis, a hub for fastening the steering wheel to a steering shaft rotatable about a steering wheel axis, and a steering wheel rim connected to the hub and at least partially surrounding the hub in the circumferential direction. A mounting projection for fastening an operating unit is formed on the steering wheel rim and includes a coupling element for detachably fastening the operating unit as well as a positioning portion for fixing the operating unit in position.

An operating system for a motor vehicle has a steering wheel (10) comprising a steering-wheel rim, a first input device (14) assigned to the steering wheel (10), a second input device (16) assigned to the steering wheel (10), and a processing unit (18) which is connected in a signal-transmitting manner to the first input device (14) and to the second input device (16). The operating system is characterized in that the first input device (14) is spatially separated from the second input device (16), the first input device (14) being assigned to a first side of the steering wheel, and the second input device (16) being assigned to a second side of the steering wheel opposite to the first side, the first input device (14) and the second input device (16) being operatively coupled to the processing unit (18) such that a main function (38) can at least be preselected via the first input device (14), and a subfunction (44) assigned to the main function (38) being adapted to be controlled via the second input device (16).

Various implementations include a steering wheel assembly. The assembly includes a hub, a steering grip, and a hinging mechanism. The hub is configured to be rotatably coupled to a steering column such that the hub is rotatable about a central axis of the steering column. The steering grip has one or more spokes. The hinging mechanism couples the one or more spokes to the hub such that the steering grip is rotatable relative to the hub about a rotational axis from a first position to a second position. The rotational axis is perpendicular to the central axis of the steering column.

A steering system for a vehicle includes a hub connected to a steering column of the vehicle, a spoke connected to the hub, a rim disposed around the hub and connected to the spoke so as to be rectilinearly movable, a first gear provided in the spoke and rotated by a power source, and a second gear that is provided on the rim so as to be engaged with the first gear and rectilinearly moved by the rotation of the first gear and that moves the rim relative to the spoke.
