Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a steering wheel cover, and more particularly to a steering wheel cover for an automobile which can be easily gripped and driven by covering an outer peripheral edge of a steering wheel.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Incidentally, in order to overcome intense sales competition in the market, ordinary automobiles constantly update their peripheral equipment, such as navigation systems, audiovisual equipment, safety equipment, seats, etc. Workers pay careful attention to attaching handle covers to handles that are gripping, improving operability and appearance.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are a three-dimensional view and a cross-sectional view of a conventional handle cover. The handle cover 1 has an annular bag shape capable of covering the periphery of a steering wheel of an automobile, and has a hollow shape. A cavity 11 corresponding to the thickness of the handle grip is provided inside, and a slit 12 is provided along the inner side surface facing the center, whereby the slit 12 is pryed open to cover the outer periphery of the handle. .

The applicable material of the handle cover is divided into leather material, foam material, rubber material, etc., of which rubber material is rich in tactile sensation and texture. Covers a surface modification layer such as a woven fabric.

When manufacturing, first, an annular base layer 13 matching the shape of a handle is formed. The base layer 13 may be made of a rubber material. As can be seen from the cross section of the handle cover in FIG. 4, the base layer 13 has a C-shaped annular body having a slit 12 in cross section. The slit 12 extends along the inner surface of the annular base layer 13 facing the center of the circle. On the surface of the base layer 13, a modified layer 14 made of a cloth material such as leather, artificial leather or cotton flannel is adhered.

The modification layer 14 includes a covering portion 141 that matches the outer peripheral surface of the base layer 13, and both folded portions 142 that extend from the covering portion 141 and cover both side edges of the slit 12 of the base layer 13 with a predetermined width to cover. The cover 141, the base layer 13, and the folded portion 142 are stitched together at an appropriate position where the three layers are overlapped with a sewing machine to complete the handle cover 1. The handle cover 1 is externally fitted along the periphery of the handle. To use.

However, the conventional handle cover 1 has the following disadvantages in structure and use.

(1) It cannot be cleaned and is dirty. The handle cover 1 covers the periphery of the handle, and the hand grips the vehicle to steer the vehicle. However, since the surface layer of the handle cover 1 is the modified layer 14, if the handle cover is used for a certain period, the modified layer 14 becomes dirty. If the decoration layer 14 is made of a flannel material, the degree of dirt is more severe. However, since the modified layer 14 is sewn together with the base layer 13 by sewing, it is not easy to clean, is unsanitary, and must be replaced frequently. Since the intact base layer 14 is also included, the material is wasted and the environment is not good.

(2) The seams are exposed and the appearance is poor. Since the modified layer 14 is directly sewn on the surface of the base layer 13 by sewing, a stitch 15 having two streaks clearly appears on the surface of the handle cover 1, and the appearance of the entire outer shape is poor, and the quality of the entire handle cover 1 is poor. Feeling decreases.
