Abstract
The present invention provides a steering wheel. Hook portions configured to engagingly fit an airbag module is directly supported by a boss portion independent of spoke portions. In addition, a tip end part's side of each of hook claws in each of the hook portions is arranged so as to be oriented to the inside of a steering wheel. With such a construction, even in the case where the airbag module is pulled in such a direction as to be spaced from a steering wheel at the time of inflation and expansion of an airbag, an engaged state between each of the hook claws and an engaged portion that is provided at the airbag module is obtained as engagement at a deeper position, and the engaged state can be established to be rigid in structure.
