Steering wheel

A steering wheel comprising:

• a support member which is inserted through a bag holder of an air bag module;
• a cylindrical slider which is disposed on an outer side of the support member so as to slide in a front-to-rear direction and which is biased to the rear by a biasing member;
• a cap member which covers at least respective rear end portions of the support member and the slider from the rear in such a state that the cap member is spaced away to the rear from the rear end portion of the slider;
• a movable-side contact portion which is provided inside the cap member;
• an annular damper holder which is mounted inside the cap member while covering part of the slider;
• an annular elastic member which is interposed between the slider and the damper holder;
• a transmitting portion which is provided in an inner circumferential portion of the damper holder;
• and
• a movement catch portion which is provided on an outer circumferential portion of the slider so as to be positioned before the transmitting portion and to which a forward movement of the damper holder is transmitted through the transmitting portion, wherein
• when the air bag module is not depressed, the air bag module is caused to function as damper mass of a dynamic damper and the elastic member is caused to function as a spring of the dynamic damper, whereas when the air bag module is depressed, the slider is caused to slide to the front against the biasing member by causing the cap member to move to the front in association with the depression of the air bag module, and in the sliding process, the movable-side contact portion is brought into contact with the rear end portion of the support member to thereby activate a horn module.
