Abstract
A steering wheel includes a steering wheel body, a retainer supported by the steering wheel body and provided with a hole, an airbag apparatus fixed to the retainer, and a damper apparatus disposed between the steering wheel body and the retainer. One end of the damper apparatus is fixed to the retainer by being fitted into the hole provided in the retainer. The damper apparatus includes an elastic body. The elastic body extends in a circumferential direction along an inner edge of the hole and is formed so as to fit the inner edge of the hole. The inner edge of the hole of the retainer is bent such that the end of the inner edge does not contact the elastic body.
