Abstract
A pad holder mechanism for use in a steering wheel includes circular guide members mounted respectively on a steering column and a pad disposed one on each side of a boss plate in an axial direction of a steering shaft, the guide members being immovable in the axial direction of the steering shaft. The guide members have continuous cam elements displaced in the axial direction throughout their circumferential length. The boss plate supports a pair of coacting members having opposite ends movable in phase along the cam elements on the guide members. The coacting members and the guide members are relatively positioned such that when the ends of one of the coacting members are positioned at peaks of the displaced cam elements, the ends of the other coacting member are located in positions other than peaks of the displaced cam elements.
