Actuating device on a vehicle steering wheel

An actuating device on a vehicle steering wheel includes two shifting buttons which are disposed on an upper side and a lower side of the steering wheel. The shifting buttons are guided together rectilinearly on guide pins during a shifting operation. The guide pins are held in sleeves of a supporting plate and are fastened to a steering wheel cover.

Coverings suitable for a steering wheel of a motor vehicle are inserted into at least two approximately horizontally oriented spokes connected with a steering wheel ring adjacent to the steering wheel ring. The coverings are constructed for the accommodation of switches. On one side, each covering leads away from the steering wheel ring and, on the other side, each covering adjoins a trim plate of the steering wheel. In order to provided the steering wheel with an advantageous design, the coverings are constructed as modules which, depending on the equipment of the motor vehicle, have function areas provided with areas without switches and/or with switches.
