Abstract: An adjustment device for a steering wheel may have a first shaft about which the steering wheel is pivotable. A rotary latch is rotationally fixed to the steering wheel by a rotary latch element. A second shaft is arranged in parallel with the first shaft. A coupling lever is arranged on the second shaft to interact with the rotary latch element. The coupling lever has a stop surface which, for the purpose of engagement, engages in at least one corresponding stop surface of the rotary latch element when the steering wheel, and thus also the rotary latch, is pivoted. At least one of the stop surfaces may have a chamfer via which the coupling lever can be displaced or is displaced out of the engagement with the rotary latch element when a predetermined force is applied to the steering wheel.

Abstract: A sensor electrode and an insulating body are coupled together by a hot melt member in a sensor of a steering wheel. The sensor electrode makes contact with the insulating body at first protrusions so as to form through holes in the hot melt member. The hot melt member is accordingly able to stretch easily due to the through holes, enabling a high extensibility for the sensor to be achieved.

Abstract: A capacitive sensor device for use with a steering wheel is provided. The steering wheel includes a rim and a spoke that is connected to the inner side of the rim, and the sensor device is provided on the spoke. The sensor device includes an electrode configured to be capacitively coupleable to an object to be detected, and includes a controller configured to detect a change in capacitance of the electrode, and determine whether the object is in proximity to the rim or the spoke based on the change in the capacitance of the electrode. The change in the capacitance occurs in response to the object being in proximity to the rim or the spoke.

Abstract: A steering wheel includes a boss portion disposed at a rotation steering center side, a grip portion disposed around the boss portion, and an operation lever portion disposed between the boss portion and the grip portion. The operation lever portion is pivotally supported by a rotation shaft portion provided close to the boss portion, and is configured to allow a press-down operation and a pull-up operation while the grip portion is gripped. A press-down operation surface of the operation lever portion is disposed along a grip surface being an upper surface of the grip portion, at a side separated from the rotation shaft portion and close to the grip portion, between the grip surface and an upper surface of a pad covering an upper surface of the boss portion. The rotation shaft portion is disposed above a lower end surface of the grip portion to be covered with the pad.
