Abstract: A steering wheel is provided with a pattern in which design expressiveness can be improved and a method for manufacturing the same. In one form, the steering wheel includes a core metal extending along a substantially ring-shaped rim, a pad, and a spoke provided radially inward of the rim; and a synthetic-resin upper shell and lower shell that are formed of synthetic resin, whose surfaces are given a pattern, and which are provided along the outer circumference of the rim of the core metal so as to engage with each other. In this case, a synthetic resin layer is provided which coats the whole of at least the rim of the core metal by molding is provided, and the upper shell and the lower shell cover the synthetic resin layer that constitutes part of the rim so as to sandwich it therebetween.

Abstract: A wrapped steering wheel in which a coating layer that has coated a cored bar of a gripping portion is wrapped with a covering, and both end portions of the covering are combined upon confronting on an inner peripheral surface side of the coating layer. The confronted both end portions are stitched together in such a way that seams of a thread that are in parallel with a confronting portion of both end portions are arranged in a manner so as to face each other at the confronted both end portions on a front side of the covering, and that seams of the thread crossing the front side seams are arranged at the confronted both end portions on a backside of the covering.
