Lessingstrasse 14- Steering wheel cover

The invention relates to a removable upper cover for a steering wheel of motor vehicles.

Removable coatings for steering wheels of motor vehicles are known in various embodiments "What they all shared that they 8ind designed as endless, by the side of to unw enveloping steering wheel back slit covers _p only its fastening on these steering wheels distinguishes them from each other. In the simplest pail, this shell is adapted to the LeflVrad in its shape, but in yours

Diameter kept somewhat smaller than that of the steering wheel »in order to be pulled onto it by virtue of the resulting elastic tension on the steering wheel, the disadvantage here is» that over time the cover loses more and more of its elasticity and thus of its holding ability on the steering wheel circumference and thus a serious danger for the driver and the general road user "It was therefore suggested" to close the open slot by means of a tape "that connects the two edge parts of the slit cover like a shoelace top pull on the steering wheel slip securely attach "this solution was not satisfactory because the herfür in the marginal portions of the casing to be provided holes uproot it with the Z _e and equally an easing of fastening of a cover on the steering wheel and therefore e 'inevitable .n slipping with bring oneself, after all, steering wheel covers are known become »which on the edge parts of the shell have provided press studs to close the slot and thus to attach the shell to the steering wheel in this way, which in doing so extend over the inner surface of the shell.? However, signing pushbutton profiles have the disadvantage "that they push with longer travel time to the driver at the steering wheel * the inner part holding fingertips and therefore a nuisance" be if not perceived as painful ₀

The object of the invention is now a steering wheel cover for motor vehicle = witness0 of an alnwano.free secure hold on the steering wheel, even guaranteed in the case of rapid jerky movements, moreover is also shapely and handsome and the driver holding the steering wheel with good grip of the cover in none Way impaired by pressure or other sensations of pain

Erfindun ^ we sgtmäß ^ this task at ainem removable coating for a - ^ enPrad of motor vehicles, slide in the form of a slit sleeve is formed _r achieved ,, that aie shell ^ n a known manner IAJ substantially in size of the steering wheel circumference endlessly in itself closed only the open slot by at least one zipper provided between two supports / can be opened. The supports here delimit the zipper at both ends. so that it is supported at the ends against its enveloping surface during relative movements and cannot slip on the surface. Preferably, in an effort to close the slot completely, as many zippers are provided as are formed by the individual steering wheel sectors. According to another preferred embodiment, the slit cover is not designed as an endless cover but on two end pieces to be joined together.

The invention is illustrated in more detail with reference to the drawing, in which several examples of execution thereof are shown _o It shows: Figo 1 a steering wheel with a raised upper cable

and Figo 2 shows a steering wheel cover open on both sides,

each in a perspective view

In Pig »1, ^{4 is} a steering wheel with two spokes 2 and 3 ο On the steering wheel 1 an endless upper cable 4 is drawn which has a slot 9 ο 8, 9 each spoke 2 or «, 3 can be closed by a zipper or * 11 ο The ends 12 ₈ 13 of the zipper 10 or«, the ends H ₉ 15 of the zipper 11 are on the rare flanks 6, 7 and 8, 9 full of ₉ so that the upper cable 4 cannot slip when the steering wheel is turned <>

It should be noted »that with single-spoke steering wheels the The side flanks of this one steering wheel spoke are supports for the zipper.

train with two ends 16 »17 shown in the same way as the endlese has a slot 18 which can also be closed by at least one zipper. At both ends

this cover is a known Velcro fastener template see and that is a part of it on the inner surface of the case and respectively provided andereVauf the sleeve outer surface in Bndbereich of the upper train "These two Bndteile after top pulling the coating only compressed to the steering wheel to the corresponding positive and maßgerechten clamping, whereby the superimposed Velcro fastener parts and hence the sheath ends firmly adhere _or ^similar uf this way, blank Calibrating different circumferential lengths of steering wheels with covers always the same length effortlessly ο

The covers can be made of plastic, synthetic leather, leather and the like. Materials «, zips can also be used in the same way made of metal or plastic »

Instead of a zipper for closing the individual slit or slits 5, a Velcro fastener of the type described above can of course also be used.
