A vehicle steering wheel comprising a central portion, a rim which can pivot relative to the central portion between a driving position and at least one retracted position, an actuator pivoting the rim and a locking member that can move between a locking position of the rim in its driving position, and a disengaged position, characterized in that it comprises a mechanism for transmitting movement between the actuator and the rim and between the actuator and the locking member, and which successively drives the locking member towards its disengaged position, then pivots the rim.

Motor vehicle steering wheel with foldable or retractable rim

A vehicle steering wheel comprising: a base structure a mobile structure, articulated relative to the base structure so as to be able to move between a first position and a second position, a first mechanism and a second mechanism, each arranged between the base structure, an actuator arranged to generate a movement for driving the first mechanism and the second mechanism, a transmission device comprising at least one cable arranged to transmit the driving movement of the actuator to at least one of the first mechanism or the second mechanism.
