Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A steering wheel includes a core metal, a resin layer molded so as to cover a part of the core metal, a wiring including a base part covered with the resin layer so as to be integral with the part of the core metal and an extending part configured to be continuous to the base part and extend from the resin layer, a covering member deformably covering at least a part of the wiring, and an accommodating part provided in the core metal and configured to accommodate the part of the wiring together with the covering member.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A steering wheel, comprising: a core metal; a resin layer molded so as to cover an entire circumference of the core metal in a defined cross section; a wiring including a base part covered with the resin layer so as to be integral with the part of the core metal and an extending part configured to be continuous to the base part and extend from the resin layer; a connector connected to an end-portion of the extending part of the wiring; a covering member deformably covering a predetermined length of the wiring containing a continuous part of the base part and the extending part; and an accommodating part provided in the core metal and configured to accommodate the part of the wiring together with the covering member, wherein a part of the covering member covering the base part is covered with the resin layer, and a part of the covering member covering the extending part is outside of and extends from the resin layer. 2. The steering wheel of claim 1 , wherein the accommodating part is partitioned by a pair of ribs protruding from the core metal. 3. The steering wheel of claim 1 , wherein the accommodating part is recessed in the core metal.
