  • Publication number: 20240317309
    Abstract: A steering wheel deice comprising: a horn spring provided between a steering wheel and an airbag module which serves as a damper mass; a damper unit provided on the airbag module; and a pin, one end of which is held by the steering wheel, and at another end of which the damper unit is disposed in a slidable manner. A conduction circuit of a horn includes: the pin which is formed from an electrically conductive material; a horn contact that is provided on the airbag module and that contacts and separates from the pin due to elastic deformation of the horn spring; and a U-shaped spring that is provided to the steering wheel and that conducts by clipping the pin.

  • Patent number: 11148702
    Abstract: A damper structure provided in a steering wheel of a vehicle to be able to achieve an improved effect of reducing vibration in a low frequency region and structurally prevent noise generation. The damper structure includes a plate member which faces the steering wheel and to which an airbag module is to be attached, an insulator attached to the plate member, a connector inserted into the insulator and having one end fixed to the steering wheel to be oscillated by vibration of the steering wheel, an elastic member surrounding the connector in the insulator, a ring provided with the elastic member to transmit the oscillation of the connector to the elastic member, a stopper provided around another end of the connector to face the elastic member, and a coil spring which brings the elastic member of the insulator into pressure contact with the stopper.
