Vehicle steering wheel

A steering wheel configured to rotate about a steering axis, comprising a rim formed of a body molded onto a frame, the body having a first mold release axis, a first groove arranged in the body in a demoldable manner relative to the first mold release axis, a sheathing reinforcement arranged to be inserted into the first groove of the body and at least partially form a second groove, wherein the second groove is arranged to receive an insert in an insertion direction separate from the first mold release axis, and in that the sheathing reinforcement comprises at least one portion which is undercut relative to the first mold release axis.

Steering wheel

A vehicle steering wheel comprising a central part; a movable structure comprising at least a portion of a rim pivotally mounted with respect to the central part () between: a locked position and at least one retracted position; an actuator for pivoting the movable structure between its locked position and its retracted position; a locking device which is movably mounted between an engaged position for locking the movable structure in its locked position, and a disengaged position allowing the pivoting of the movable structure, wherein the locking device comprises a hinge portion, a locking portion arranged to lock the movable structure, a locking arm connecting the hinge portion and the locking portion, wherein the locking arm comprises a resilient inner hinge to allow recovery of mechanical play between the locking portion and the movable structure.
