ABSTRACT:
In a steering wheel with an air bag device, a horn pad is provided above the air bag device. The air bag device is arranged above a boss plate provided at the center of the steering wheel. Further, a horn switch mechanism operated by depressing the horn pad is provided. In the steering wheel, the horn pad is integral with a core covering portion of a steering wheel body, and a depressing plate is provided immediately below the horn pad. The air bag device is fixedly secured to the boss plate. The depressing plate is preferably substantially rigid, and is so shaped as to straddle the air bag. Resilient members resist the depression of the depressing plate, and pairs of contacts of the horn switch mechanism are provided between the depressing plate and the boss plate to actuate the horn.
