Patent ID: 8500156

Claim:
A steering wheel having an airbag apparatus attached thereto, the steering wheel comprising: a core member having a through-hole that is penetrated in an axial direction parallel with an axial line of a steering shaft; an airbag apparatus having a pin that protrudes toward the core member, the pin having a recessed part on an outer surface thereof and being inserted into the through-hole, and an elastic wire that is linearly moved in an assembling direction parallel with an orthogonal surface perpendicular to the axial line and is thus assembled to the core member, wherein the elastic wire has an attaching part that is attached to the core member and an engaging part that is engaged to the recessed part in the through-hole, wherein the core member has an axial restraint part that permits the attaching part to linearly move in the assembling direction and restrains the attaching part engaged to the core member from moving in the axial direction, a surface restraint part that permits the attaching part to linearly move in the assembling direction and restrains the engaged attaching part from moving in a direction parallel with the orthogonal surface, and a linear movement permission part that permits the engaging part to linearly move in the assembling direction, and wherein the surface restraint part has a restraining protrusion that permits the attaching part to surmount the restraining protrusion as the attaching part is linearly moved and restrains the attaching part having surmounted the restraining protrusion from moving in an opposite direction to the assembling direction, wherein a linear movement direction of the elastic wire that permits the attaching part to surmount the restraining protrusion, is the assembling direction of the elastic wire.
