Position restricted. Therefore, the emblem 20 is firmly fixed with the front plate portion 23 of the front plate portion 21 sandwiched between the emblem body 31 and the back plate 32 in the front-rear direction. Also, in this state, the emblem 20 is housed in the mounting recess 30 with the emblem body 31 being drawn by the first elastic piece portion 52 of the contact portion 49. It is arranged without protruding greatly.

When an automobile having a steering wheel 10 equipped with a module 12 having a cover body 18 crashes, in the present embodiment, the control device activates the inflator to supply gas to the airbag. Then, the airbag is rapidly inflated and deployed, and the pressure of this inflation and deployment breaks the front plate portion 21 of the cover main body portion 19 along the tear line 24 at a position bypassing the emblem 20 to form a door portion. The portion rotates about the hinge portion to form a projecting opening, which is an opening for inflating the airbag.

At this time, the back plate 32 of the emblem 20 facing the airbag is flexed by receiving the deployment pressure of the airbag. 40, and the pins 35 are engaged and held by all the elastic pieces 52, 53 to prevent the emblem 20 from falling off from the cover main body 19 due to the deployment pressure of the airbag.

As described above, according to one embodiment, the abutment portion 49 that prevents the pin 35 from coming out of the hole portion 48 through the engagement receiving portion 40 is elastically deformed in the insertion/removal direction of the pin 35 into/from the hole portion 48 . The first elastic piece portion 52 and the second elastic piece portion 53 are set as possible, and the engagement between the first elastic piece portion 52 and the second elastic piece portion 53 when the emblem body 31 and the back plate 32 are assembled. Since the interference force with the receiving portion 40 is set to have a strength difference, it is not necessary to design all the elastic pieces so as to evenly contact the engaging receiving portion 40, which simplifies the design. can be stably attached to the front plate portion 21 at low cost.

Further, the back plate 32 and the support portion 47 of the front plate portion 21 are strongly interfered with each other, and the elastic piece portion of the contact portion 49 is strongly interfered with the engagement receiving portion 40, thereby holding the emblem 20 on the front plate portion 21. The configuration needs to be designed so as to balance the bending (bending) of the back plate 32 itself and the strength of the elastic piece portion. Since the portion 52 strongly interferes with the engagement receiving portion 40, there is no need to balance as described above, the number of design man-hours can be reduced, and the emblem 20 can be stably attached to the front plate portion 21 at a lower cost. Become.

That is, in the case of the present embodiment, the first elastic piece portion 52 should be set to the bending strength required to pull in the emblem body 31, and the second elastic piece portion 53 should be set to the strength in the non-deflecting state. Since these settings can be set individually, there is no need for a design process or the like for balancing the strengths of each other, and manufacturing can be done at low cost.

In addition, the emblem 20 is often used for general purposes. In the case of the configuration in which the emblem 20 is held on the front plate portion 21, the height of the support portion 47 can be adjusted by adjusting the mold of the support portion 47 when the cover main body portion 19 with a different design or an additional mold with the same design is used. While it is necessary to maintain the designed balance, in the present embodiment, the first elastic piece portion 52 of the contact portion 49 strongly interferes with the engagement receiving portion 40, so such a process is unnecessary. Become. Therefore, the degree of freedom in designing the cover main body 19 and the versatility for various designs of the cover body 18 are enhanced.

For example, in the assembled state of the emblem body 31 and the back plate 32, the first elastic piece portion 52 is caused to interfere with the engagement receiving portion 40, and the remaining second elastic piece portion 53 is attached to the engagement receiving portion 40. In the case of non-contact, the second elastic piece portion 53 that does not interfere with the engagement receiving portion 40 in the assembled state of the emblem body 31 and the back plate 32 will be deformed when the emblem body 31 and the back plate 32 are deformed by an external force or the like. Since the strength can be set according to the required strength when interfering with the engagement receiving portion 40, the design is extremely easy, and the emblem 20 can be stably attached to the front plate portion 21 at low cost.

In addition, in the assembled state of the emblem body 31 and the back plate 32, the first elastic piece portion 52 strongly interferes with the engagement receiving portion 40, and the remaining second elastic piece portion 53 is made to interfere with the engagement receiving portion 40. In the case of weak interference, the interference force of the second elastic piece portion 53 with the engagement receiving portion 40 is such that the strong interference balance of the first elastic piece portion 52 strongly interfering with the engagement receiving portion 40 is not disturbed. Moreover, since it can be set according to the required strength when interfering with the engagement receiving portion 40 when the emblem body 31 or the back plate 32 is deformed by an external force or the like, the design is easy, and the emblem 20 is attached to the front plate portion. 21 can be stably attached at low cost.

Therefore, the emblem 20 has a simple configuration that does not require an increase in the number of parts and does not require fine tuning, has a high engagement force, and can be inexpensive and can enhance the warranty.

Further, by applying the above-described emblem 20 to the cover body 18 of the module 12 attached to the steering wheel 10 for a vehicle, the steering wheel 10 provided with the cover body 18 whose decoration is enhanced by the emblem 20 can be provided at a low cost.

In particular, when the module 12 is an airbag device, applying the emblem 20 to the cover body 18 of the airbag device further sets the strength of the entire back plate 32 against the deployment pressure of the airbag. This makes it possible to prevent the emblem 20 from falling off the cover main body 19 from the front plate 21 due to the deployment pressure of the airbag. Since it can be set separately from the flexural strength, a design process or the like for balancing the mutual strength is not required, and can be manufactured at low cost.

In one embodiment, the engagement receiving portion 40 is not limited to being formed on the emblem main body portion 34 side of the enlarged portion 38. It may be formed in the shape of a groove or the like that is depressed in the direction to extend.

Also, although three contact pieces are provided in this embodiment, the number of contact pieces is not limited to this, and may be two or four or more.

Emblem 20 can be implemented in any shape and number of pins 35 as long as the mold structure is compatible.

Also, the module 12 may be configured without an airbag. For example, instead of the airbag, a shock absorber such as an EA body may be used as the shock absorber.

Furthermore, the module 12 is not limited to one having a shock absorber, and may be a horn pad or the like for operating a horn actuator provided on the steering wheel 10, for example.
