Abstract: A vehicle steering wheel, comprising: —a framework (10) consisting of an electroconductive material; at least one sensor for detecting the position and/or contact (20) of a limb of the user on the steering wheel; at least one decorative part (30) comprising an electroconductive material; fixing means arranged so as to hold the decorative part (30) on the steering wheel; and at least one anchoring part (42) arranged so as to secure the fixing means onto the framework (10).

Abstract: A device for fastening a safety module on a steering wheel frame includes at least one resilient ring, at least one hook and at least one valve gridge. The at least one hook includes a first surface forming a guide track ending on an inflection point, and a second surface separated from the first surface by the inflection point. The at least one valve bridge has with a third surface across from the second surface of the hook. The resilient ring locks the module fixed on the frame by bearing on the second surface of the hook and on the third surface of the valve bridge. The third surface of the valve bridge includes at least one recess arranged across from the inflection point.

Abstract: A vehicle steering wheel includes at least one plastic part made from a fluid base material using a process such as injection. At least one electrical conductor includes at least a first portion which is at least partially overmolded by the at least one plastic part and further includes at least one second portion that extends outside of the at least one plastic part. The steering wheel further includes at least one sheath that is added around a third portion of the at least one electrical conductor and extends from the at least one first portion to the at least one second portion, with the at least one sheath forming a sealing interface for preventing leakage of base material along the at least one electrical conductor during the overmolding of the at least one first portion by the at least one plastic part.

Abstract: A steering wheel is disclosed, the steering wheel comprising a frame as radially outwardly-extending spokes (3,4) and a rim (5). The frame defines a recess to receive an air-bag unit 9. The steering wheel is provided with a number of mounting elements (26) associated with a respective spoke (3,4). Each mounting element (26) is connected to the steering wheel and has a portion (27) overlying part of the steering wheel. The air-bag unit (9) is connected to each mounting element (26) by means of a resiliently-biased connection to permit relative movement of the air-bag unit (9) with respect to the steering wheel, such that the peripheral part of the air-bag unit (9) defines a pre-determined gap between itself and the overlying portion (27) of the mounting element (26).
