Steering apparatus

A steering apparatus, comprising:

• a steering wheel that has a substantially annular shape and that is operated and rotated by a driver;
• a support frame that rotatably supports the steering wheel;
• a frame fixation part that fixes the support frame to a vehicle body;
• and
• a steering transmission part that transmits a rotation of the steering wheel relative to the support frame to a steering mechanism of a wheel,
• wherein the support frame and the frame fixation part are arranged at a position that does not overlap with a rotation center axis line of the steering wheel in a front view of the steering wheel, and
• wherein the steering apparatus further comprises:
• a cover material that covers a circumference of a grip part of the steering wheel and is deformable in a deflection manner,
• the support frame has a protrusion part that protrudes toward an inner circumferential side from the steering wheel,
• an opening part that accepts displacement of the protrusion part accompanied by a rotation operation is formed on the steering wheel,
• the cover material forms a lid part that closes the opening part, and
• the opening part appears in a case where the lid part is deformed in a deflection manner by the protrusion part.
