Abstract
The frame comprises a rim (1) formed by a plurality of curved tubes (2,4) inwardly and downwardly bent at their ends so as to form spokes of the steering wheel. The end portions of two adjacent spokes (6, 8 - 7, 9) which pertain to two different tubes are moulded in a common lateral boss (14) of a hub (16). The boss (14) extends longitudinally and projects upwardly from the hub and the end portions of the spokes are vertical and progressively crushed with a curved cross-sectional shape.
