PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steering wheel unit that allows a steering wheel to be folded and then carried in a safe state.SOLUTION: A lock mechanism 32 is constituted of a thick plate-like claw 36 made of metal which is mounted on an upper side of a protruding part 37 of a steering wheel piece 33 so that the claw can be pushed upward and pulled downward. The protruding part 37 of the steering wheel piece 33 is fitted into and connected to a recessed part 38 of another steering wheel piece 34. When a lock release button 35 is not pushed down, the claw 36 is being pushed out to the outside of the protruding part 37, and when the button is pushed down, a coil spring 39 is pressed in interlock with the movement of a plate-like lever 40 made of metal when the lever 40 moves downward, so that the claw 36 is pulled toward inside of the protruding part 37 by a wire 41 to be brought into a retracted state. When releasing the lock release button 35, the lever 40 is moved upward by compression force of the coil spring 39, and the claw 36 is pushed out to the outside of the protruding part 37 and then returned to an original position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

    【課題】ステアリングホイールを折りたたんで安定した状態で持ち運びできるステアリングホイールユニットを提供する。【解決手段】ロック機構32は、ステアリングホイール片33の凸部37の上側に押し出し、下側に引っ張り可能に取り付けられた金属製の厚肉板状の爪36からなる。一方のステアリングホイール片33の凸部37が他方のステアリングホイール片34の凹部38に嵌め込まれ、連結される。ロック解除釦35が押下されていないとき、爪36は凸部37の外側に押し出された状態にあり、押下されているときには、金属製の板状のレバー40が下方に移動すると、レバー40の動きに連動して、コイルばね39が押圧され、爪36はワイヤー41により凸部37の内側に引っ張られ、引っ込んだ状態になる。ロック解除釦35を解除すると、コイルばね39の圧縮力によりレバー40が上方に移動し、爪36が凸部37の外側に押し出され元の位置に復帰する。【選択図】図4
