Original Abstract Submitted
a steering wheel includes: a rim part having a non-annular shape; and a spoke part. in the rim part, a region that becomes an upper section in a steering neutral state is not continuous. the rim part includes a protrusion portion protruding toward an upper side in the steering neutral state from an intersection region intersecting the spoke part. the protrusion portion includes at least one of an inclination rear surface and an inclination front surface. the inclination rear surface is inclined to a vehicle rearward side toward an upper side in the steering neutral state from a surface facing the vehicle rearward side of the intersection region. the inclination front surface is inclined to a vehicle forward side toward an upper side in the steering neutral state from a surface facing the vehicle forward side of the intersection region.
