ABSTRACT:
A safety steering wheel device for a motor car which prevents a driver from being injured when in a car crash accident comprises a steering wheel 1 formed into a given shape, flexible tubes 2 supporting the wheel 1 so that it can move laterally and back and forth, a detector 4 for detecting an amount of a lateral displacement of the wheel 1, and a steering means 5 coupled to the detecting means 4. In a normal driving operation, car wheels 6 are turned to the right or left by moving the steering wheel 1 to the right or left in the lateral direction. In the car crash accident, the flexible tube 2 is flexibly deformed, thereby absorbing a shock from the car crash.
