Abstract

A steering wheel (20) having: an armature (22) comprising: a central hub (30), a rim (34) positioned apart from the hub and at least one spoke (36; 38) connecting the hub and rim; the rim (34) including stress risers (92 - 98; 102 - 108; 92a 98a; 102a, 108a) to enable a top portion and/or a lower portion of the rim to compress more when a determinable force is applied against the rim in a radial direction compared to when the same force is applied to the lower portion of the rim at an angle to a plane in which the rim is located.
