PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steering wheel for an automobile without risk of rocking a horn switch itself, even if vibration caused by travel of the automobile is added. SOLUTION: A positioning pin 31 projectingly formed in the horn switch is fitted to and supported by a positioning pin-receiving part 33 formed in a pair in a boss. The positioning pin-receiving part 33 is constituted of: a first tapered part 44 formed in a conical shape; and an opening part 45 formed in the deepest part of the first tapered part 44 and capable of receiving and locking the positioning pin 31. The positioning pin 31 is constituted of a main stud formed in a columnar shape, a plurality of guide parts formed in a tip part of the main stud so as to guide the main stud to the opening part 45 from the first tapered part 44, and an elastic piece erected in a position separated from the main stud and the guide part via a groove part to the main stud and capable of being brought into pressure contact with the opening part 45 of the positioning pin-receiving part 33.
