Abstract

A heatable handle with a replaceable cover, comprising: an inner tube (1) wound with a heating wire (2), a sheath (3) sheathing the inner tube (1) and the heating wire (2), and a coating (4 ), which is attachable to the enclosure (3) and can be released from the enclosure (3) again.

Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a heatable handle, in particular a heatable handle with a replaceable coating, preferably a heated handle whose leather cover can be easily replaced.

State of the art

For ice-cold weather, for example in the polar zone or in low temperature areas, motor vehicles, e.g. Motorcycles, snowmobiles or manually controlled skis used as means of transport. The cold environment causes the hands to get cold quickly, making it difficult and inflexible for a user to operate the motor vehicle. Low temperatures may also cause physical and chemical changes in the sheathing material of the corresponding vehicle steering wheel, causing the sheath material to become brittle and hard, thus losing its elasticity. This eventually leads to a deterioration of the actuation function. To solve these problems, a heated steering wheel with a coating has been developed which can be mounted on a vehicle and which can generate heat by means of electric current.

Conventional heated steering wheels are for example from the publications TW M531422 U ("Building a heated handle"), TW M527842 U ("Structure for fixing a lead wire of a heated handle") and TW M472658 ("Securing a heating wire of a handle cover") known. The conventional heatable handles are, as in 4 is shown with an inner tube 61 provided with lead wires 62 is wrapped. On the inner tube 61 becomes a handle tube 63 sprayed. After a period of time, due to the weather and the friction between the handle and a hand or a glove, the corresponding handle may wear out and break off. Because the handle tube 63 on the inner tube 61 is attached, the inner tube must 61 and the wires 62 also be replaced if the outer surface is damaged. This leads on the one hand to a waste of material and on the other hand, the lead wires must be reconnected. For this reason, conventional steering wheels with heatable handle are characterized by a cumbersome assembly and disassembly.

Object of the invention

The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a heatable handle with a removable cover, in which the coating can be easily replaced.

Technical solution

This object is achieved by a heatable handle with a replaceable coating having the features specified in claim 1. Further advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

According to the invention there is provided a heatable handle with a replaceable coating comprising the following components:
an inner tube wrapped with a heating wire,
a sheath encasing the inner tube and the heating wire, and
a cover which is attachable to the wrapper and can be detached from the wrapper.

Due to the multi-layer structure, the heatable handle according to the invention can be easily disassembled, wherein the coating can be easily replaced. As a result, the heatable handle according to the invention is characterized by easy handling and easy assembly and disassembly.

According to the invention, the heatable handle may be provided with at least one decorative element, which is pushed onto the envelope and is arranged on both sides of the coating.

According to the invention, the material for the coating may be selected from a group comprising silicone, rubber, elastic plastic and leather.

According to the invention, the heated handle may be provided with at least one decorative element which is slidable onto the wrapper and disposed on at least one side of the cover, the wrapper being applied by injection molding or by tight fitting to the inner tube and the heating wire.

According to the invention, the decorative element may be made of metal.

• 2. The heated handle according to the invention with a replaceable coating allows only damaged components can be replaced, thereby saving resources.
• 3. The fact that the coating of the heated handle according to the invention can be replaced at any time, the user requirements can be better met, as a user can select a preferred design. The heatable handle according to the invention is therefore characterized by a variety of design and visual manifestations.

Brief description of the drawings

In the following the invention and its embodiments will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings shows:

1 an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of a handle according to the invention,

2 a perspective view of the embodiment of the handle according to the invention,

3 a sectional view of the embodiment of the handle according to the invention, and

4 a sectional view of an embodiment of a conventional handle.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

In 1 to 3 are an exploded view, a perspective view and a schematic sectional view of a heatable handle according to the invention with a replaceable coating shown, which is essentially an inner tube 1 , a heating wire 2 , a serving 3 and a coating 4 having.

The inner tube 1 is with the heating wire 2 wrapped.

The serving 3 serves to cover the inner tube 1 and the heating wire 2 ,

The coating 4 becomes soluble on the wrapping 3 plugged and can thus again from the wrapping 3 be removed.

Referring to 1 to 3 is the inner tube 1 provided in the embodiment shown on the surface with wire rails, in which the heating wire 2 is inserted. After that, the wrapper becomes 3 on the inner tube 1 applied by the cladding 3 on the inner tube 1 is sprayed or tight on the inner tube 1 is plugged. When a spraying process is used, the heating wire becomes 2 also in such a way with the wrapping 3 that envelops the wrapper 3 at the same time as insulating material, eg as insulating foil, for the heating wire 2 serves. Finally, the coating 4 on the serving 3 attached, whereby the heatable handle is ready assembled. The coating 4 Can be made of silicone, rubber, elastic plastic or leather.

If damaged, the coating can 4 be removed to replace the wrapper 3 to enable. After that, a new cover can be made 4 on the serving 3 be plugged. The heated handle may have various designs or embellished optics by at least one decorative element 5 at the serving 3 is attached. The decoration element 5 is located on at least one side of the cover 4 and may be made of metal.

In summary, the present invention thus discloses a heatable handle with a replaceable cover, which is an inner tube 1 , a serving 3 and a coating 4 having, wherein the inner tube 1 with a heating wire 2 is wrapped, with the wrapping 3 the inner tube 1 and the heating wire 2 encased, and where the coating 4 on the serving 3 is pluggable and again from the serving 3 can be removed. Due to the multi-layered design of the heated handle according to the invention can be easily disassembled, so that the coating can be easily replaced. As a result, the heated handle according to the invention is characterized by easy handling and easy assembly / disassembly.
