Abstract

The grip strength adjustment device for a steering wheel (A) with a steel core (B) is made so that the grip strength of the adjustable region (C) can be adjusted to suit the individual hand size of the driver by mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic or other means.

Description

Die Erfindung stützt sich auf die individuelle Verstellbarkeit der Griffstärke bei Lenkrädern.The invention is based on the individual adjustability of the grip strength in steering wheels.

Dabei liegt das Problem zugrunde, dass Kraftfahrzeuge, Baumaschinen etc. werksseitig mit Lenkrädern ausgestattet sind, die eine bestimmte Standardgriffstärke aufweisen. Bekanntermassen ist jedoch die Handgrösse der Lenkradbenutzer genau so unterschiedlich wie die Benutzer selbst. Eine unangepasste Griffstärke kann in Gefahrensituationen zusätzliche Risiken in sich bergen.The underlying problem is that motor vehicles, construction machinery etc. are factory-made are equipped with steering wheels that have a certain standard grip strength. As is known, however, the hand size of the steering wheel user is just as different like the users themselves. Improper grip strength can pose additional risks in dangerous situations recover.

Es liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Griffstärke individuell, auf den Fahrer, oder die Fahrerin, abstimmen zu können.The task is based on the grip strength individually, on the driver, to be able to vote.

Diese Einstellung kann beispielsweise mechanisch (durch Excenter), pneumatisch, hydraulisch, oder durch andere geeignete Maßnahmen erfolgen. This setting can, for example, be mechanical (by eccentric), pneumatic, hydraulically, or by other suitable measures.
