Abstract

779,918. Electric heaters for steering wheels. FULHAM, L. F. Aug. 31, 1956, No. 7626/55. Class 39(3) A steering wheel heater comprises an open-sided discontinuous sleeve having a channel extending from one end of the sleeve to the other, an electric heating element being provided in the channel and means being provided for interconnecting the ends of the sleeve for contracting the sleeve on to the peripheral ring of the steering wheel. As shown, a sleeve 12, which may be formed from mesh-spun aluminium or resilient plastic, houses a heater wire 16 contained in a coaxial woven glass sleeve, one end of the wire being earthed and the other end connected to a brush 21 engaging a slip-ring 24 secured to the steering column. Current supply from a battery to the slip-ring may be via a switch 27 and a rheostat 28, a thermostat may also be provided. The sleeve 12 is held in position on the wheel by a serrated rubber tongue 13 adjustably secured in an eyelet 14. In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the insulated heater wire is arranged in a channel formed on the inside surface of the open-sided sleeve. A spring-tensioned contact of tungsten, silver or platinum may be used in place of the carbon brush.
