The present invention relates to a steering wheel, and more particularly, to a steering wheel which is provided in a driver's seat of a vehicle and operated by a driver to adjust the driving direction of the vehicle.

The steering wheel 10 of a typical vehicle is shipped by coating a synthetic resin part 1 formed by injection molding a synthetic resin as shown in FIG. 1 on an outer portion of the rim 2 of the steering wheel. The handle 10 coated with the synthetic resin part 1 has a hard and slippery surface, so that the driver can easily feel fatigue when steering the handle 10, and there is a risk of an accident.

To overcome this problem, the average driver would use a separate handle cover made of leather or cloth over the handle surface.

However, in this case, the driver has to purchase the handle cover separately and cover the handle, which is cumbersome, and the thickness of the handle becomes thicker by the handle cover, which may add inconvenience to holding the handle.

In addition, when a separate handle cover is overlaid on a handle covered with synthetic resin, there is a limit in improving the grip feeling of the handle. That is, since the hard touch of the synthetic resin part is transmitted to the handle cover as it is, the driver may feel physical fatigue of the hands, wrists, shoulders, etc. when steering the handle, and this causes a drop in concentration while driving and an accident occurs. There is a risk.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is not necessary to purchase a separate handle cover, and it provides elastic handles on the hard handle surface to help the driver's physical fatigue and to drive safely, and provides a luxury handle. Its purpose is to.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described below and will be appreciated by the embodiments of the present invention. In addition, the objects and advantages of the present invention can be realized by means and combinations shown in the utility model registration claims.

The handle of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the vehicle handle having a circular rim as a main body, the synthetic resin portion is coated to surround the outer portion of the rim; A compression sponge that wraps the outer portion of the synthetic resin portion and applies elasticity to the synthetic resin portion; And a leather seat having an edge coupled to the outer portion of the compression sponge.

In addition, the synthetic resin portion is preferably formed by injection molding one selected from the group consisting of polypropylene resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, ABS resin and polyurethane resin.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Prior to this, the terms or words used in this specification and claims should not be construed as being limited to their usual or dictionary meanings, and the inventors will properly describe the concept of terms in order to best explain their own design. Based on the principle that it can be defined, it should be interpreted as meaning and concept corresponding to the technical idea of the present invention.

Therefore, the embodiments described in the specification and the drawings shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention, various modifications that can be replaced at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be equivalents and variations.

2 is a cutaway perspective view showing a handle according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the handle shown in FIG.

As shown, the handle 100 of the present invention includes a synthetic resin portion 110, a compression sponge 120 and a leather seat 130.

In addition, the handle 100 is formed by using the rim 140, which is a circular metal frame as a main body.

The synthetic resin unit 110 is a portion that wraps and covers the outer portion of the rim 140 so that the driver can grip the rim 140 safely and comfortably.

The synthetic resin unit 110 as described above is made of a polypropylene resin (Polypropylene; PP) resin, polyvinyl chloride (Polyvinyl Chloride; PVC) resin, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene Copolymer) resin and polyurethane (Polyurethane; PU) resin group It is formed by injection molding the selected one.

The compression sponge 120 wraps the outer portion of the synthetic resin portion 110 covering the rim 140, and adds elasticity to the hard touch of the synthetic resin portion 110. Accordingly, when the driver grips the handle 100, the cushioning property is enhanced to prevent the handle 100 from slipping from the hand during steering of the handle 100, and the driver's hand, wrist, shoulder, etc. This reduces the risk of accidents while driving by reducing physical fatigue.

On the other hand, the compression sponge 120 is preferably compressed to a predetermined thickness so as not to have a difficulty in gripping the handle 100 while maintaining the elasticity of the sponge.

The leather seat 130 is a portion where the driver's hand directly touches the handle 100 while protecting the compression sponge 120, and an edge thereof is coupled in a state surrounding the outer portion of the compression sponge 120. .

The leather seat 130 may be formed of one leather selected from natural leather or artificial leather. If the focus is on the cleanliness and grip of the handle 100, the leather seat 130 is formed of natural leather. It is preferable. On the other hand, in order to combine the edge of the leather sheet 130, a method such as sewing, adhesion, is applied.

Therefore, the synthetic resin part 110 is covered to cover the outer portion of the rim 140 in the vehicle handle 100 as described above, the compression sponge 120 surrounds the outer portion of the synthetic resin portion 110, Leather seat 130 is the handle 100 is completed while the edge is coupled in a state surrounding the outer portion of the compression sponge 120.

In conclusion, since the handle 100 according to the present invention is manufactured in a state in which the leather seat 130 is covered with the synthetic resin unit 110, it is not only luxurious but also the driver purchases a separate handle cover to cover the handle 100. It has the advantage of not needing to be covered. In addition, in the present invention, since the leather sheet 130 is covered in the state in which the synthetic resin unit 110 is wrapped with the compression sponge 120, the elasticity of the compression sponge 120 is increased to the hard touch of the synthetic resin unit 110. In addition, when the driver grips the leather seat 130, the cushion and grip are improved, and when the steering wheel 100 is steered, the physical fatigue of the hands, wrists, shoulders, etc. is reduced, thereby helping to drive safely. Gives.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is intended by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. Various modifications and variations are possible, of course, within the equivalent scope of the utility model registration claims to be described.

The handle of the present invention provides the following effects.

First, it is not only luxurious because the leather seat is coated on the steering wheel, and the driver does not need to buy the steering wheel separately.

Second, since the leather seat is covered in a state in which the synthetic resin covering the rim of the handle is wrapped with a compression sponge, elasticity is added to the handle to improve the grip of the driver who grips the handle, thereby reducing physical fatigue while driving and safety. Provides the effect of driving.
