A vehicle steering wheel device enabling miniaturizing an airbag module and also a miniaturized horn pad portion while ensuring a damping effect comparable to a conventional damping effect. Each damper has a straight pin, a grip provided at a first end is engaged to a central cored bar through rotate operation around the pin axis, and a connecting tip end part that connects to the module housing is provided at the other end. A plurality of insertion holes through which the connecting tip end part is inserted are arranged in the module housing surrounding the outer edge of the inflator, and the connecting tip end part is formed with a constricted portion having an outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the insertion hole, and the connecting tip end part is connected to the module housing via a set spring supported by the module housing to engage the constriction.
A vehicle steering wheel device provided with a plurality of dampers that absorb vibrations of the steering wheel around a boss part of the steering wheel in between a central cored bar of the steering wheel and a module housing of an airbag module which is a damper mass, wherein:
