A vehicle steering wheel structure which, while having a configuration in which small damper masses are arranged in a distributed manner, can secure the same highly efficient vibration reducing effect as when a large damper mass is arranged, without increasing the required installation space and the cost. The vehicle steering wheel structure includes a plurality of damper masses arranged so as to be distributed in an inner region of a rim portion of a steering wheel; a connection member that connects these damper masses; and a damper module disposed in the inner region of the rim portion.

Structure of steering wheel for vehicle

A steering wheel providing minimal cost increase due to addition of a temperature adjustment function. The steering wheel, includes: a boss portion to be connected to a steering column; a grip portion to be gripped by a driver; and a spoke portion, which connects the boss portion and the grip portion to each other. The grip portion includes: a synthetic resin layer molded by a synthetic resin; a cored bar; a flexible porous material layer disposed on an outer peripheral surface side of the cored bar; and a heater element disposed on an outer surface of the porous material layer. The porous material layer and the heater element are covered by the synthetic resin layer.

Steering wheel

A steering wheel that enables heat to be efficiently conducted to a steering wheel outer covering. The steering wheel includes: a core; a spacer member arranged around an outer periphery of a rim portion of the core; a temperature adjusting element provided on the spacer member; and a resin layer formed to cover an outside portion of the spacer member. The spacer member keeps at least a part of the temperature adjusting element away from the core.
