Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the appearance of a steering wheel as well as to contrive an improvement in water absorption properties and an reduction in cool contact feeling by forming a layer mixed with leather powder at least on the outer surface of a resin layer in the steering wheel composed of a core metal and the resin layer covering said core metal. CONSTITUTION:A steering wheel is formed with a resin layer 2 composed of foamed urethane, PVC and the like defined around a core metal 1 made of iron, aluminum and the like by means of injection and/or reaction injection molding. In this case, the outer surface of the resin layer 2 is formed with a surface layer 4 mixed with leather powder 3 as thin as about 10-100mu. The aforesaid surface layer 4 is formed in such a way as to let the outer surface of the resin layer 2 be applied with paint mixed with leather powder 3 and/or surface treating agent. And leather powder to be used shall be equal to or more than 100 mesh, preferably equal to or more than 200 mesh, and shall be mixed with roughly 5-90% of paint and/or surface treating agent by weight while letting them be uniformly dispersed.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Although the appearance of the steering wheel improves with the coating film, the coating film is shiny and does not give a textured appearance, and the palms of the steering wheel get sweaty. If you touch the wheel, the grip part tends to become sticky, and in winter or in the garden, if you grip the wheel with your bare hands, it may feel very cold or hot, that is, the feeling of coldness and heat on contact increases, resulting in a poor feeling.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a steering wheel comprising a core metal and a resin layer covering the core metal, in which leather powder is applied to at least the outer surface of the resin layer. It is characterized by forming a layer mixed with.

(Function) The outer surface of the resin layer has fine irregularities due to the leather powder, and the light rays are diffusely reflected on the outer surface, eliminating glare and creating a textured appearance that resembles a steering wheel wrapped in real leather. In addition, since leather powder has water absorption properties, sweat is absorbed by the comparison powder and does not cause stickiness.Furthermore, since leather powder has a large specific heat, the steady thermal conductivity of the outer surface of the wheel is small, and the fine particles on the outer surface The unevenness functions effectively to leave a layer of air between the wheel and your hand, reducing the sensation of coldness and heat on contact.
