ABSTRACT:
In a steering wheel for an automobile having an impact energy absorber mounted on a boss member for absorbing the impact load, the positions of the boss and the boss plate are set lower than the frontal plane of the steering ring by angling a spoke core downwards. An impact energy absorber is mounted on the boss plate. The outer circumference of the impact energy absorber is covered by a cover pad and extension of a cover. Because the wheel pad member does not protrude towards the driver substantially above the frontal plane of the steering ring, the driver's view of the instrument panel is not obscured by it, and it need not detract from the interior styling of the automobile.
