Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial application] The present invention relates to a steering wheel of a vehicle.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when a driver writes a slip or a memo in a vehicle, the slip or the like is written using a dashboard, window glass, or a pad portion at the center of the steering wheel. However, when using a dashboard or window glass, the driver is forced to take an unreasonable posture, and the pad portion at the center of the steering wheel having a relatively wide surface has a rough surface, Since it was decorated, it was not preferable to write a slip.

Therefore, in view of such circumstances, the applicant of the present application has filed a Japanese Patent Application No. Sho 60-2740.
No. 1 (Shokaisho 61-142673) discloses a steering wheel 3 in which an expandable memo writing surface 2 made of a smooth surface is provided on the upper surface of a central pad 1 as shown in FIG. .

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the above conventional example, the horn switch is usually changed to another position of the steering wheel or a memo that can be expanded in order to provide a memo writing surface in the central portion of the steering wheel where the horn switch is installed. It takes time and cost to process and mount extra parts in order to provide the description surface.

Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 164970/1983 discloses a tilt type steering device in which a gap between a column cover covering a steering post and a through hole of a panel is covered with a cover made of an elastic material. Has been
Such a device did not solve the above problems.

The present invention has been devised in view of such circumstances, and a driver can write a slip or memo without taking an unreasonable posture in the driver's seat, and a memo writing surface that is structurally simple. An object of the present invention is to provide a steering wheel for a provided vehicle.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention for attaining such an object is a steering wheel of a vehicle in which a steering body and a horn switch provided substantially at the center of the steering body are connected by two spokes. , One of the spokes is wider and has a larger surface area than the other, a smooth memo surface is formed on the surface of the spoke, and a grip hole is formed in the continuous portion of the spoke and the steering body. The spokes are provided at a constant inclination angle from the steering body to the central horn switch.

[Action]

With the above configuration, since the horn switch has a rectangular shape and one of the spokes has a wide surface area,
A wide area horn switch is provided, and a wide flat memo writing surface suitable for memo writing is formed on the surface of the spoke.

Further, since the other spokes are provided from the steering body to the central horn switch at a constant inclination angle, the other spokes are located near the hand, and the left hand can be easily hung on the spokes, and steering operation is facilitated.

〔Example〕

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 5 is a steering wheel according to this embodiment, and the steering wheel 5 is covered with a pad at substantially the center. The horn switch 7 has a rectangular shape and two spokes 9a and 9b connected to the horn switch 7.

As shown in FIG. 2, the spokes 9a and 9b are provided at a constant inclination angle from the steering body 5a to the central horn switch 7, and further, one of the spokes is provided.
The spoke 9b is wider and has a larger surface area than the other spoke 9a. A smooth memo writing surface 11 is formed on the surface side of the spoke 9b so that the memo writing surface 11 can be used as a simple desk of a necessary and sufficient size when filling in a slip or the like. Has become.

Further, a grip hole 13 is formed along the steering body 5a at the connecting portion of the steering body 5a and the spoke 9b.
The grip on that part does not hinder the driving operation.

Since the present embodiment is configured in this way, the spoke 9b
If a slip or the like is applied to the memo writing surface 11 and written, the memo writing surface 11 is utilized as a simple desk.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when writing a slip or the like in the vehicle, the memo writing surface of the steering wheel can be utilized as a simple desk, so that the driver can write the slip or the like without taking an uncomfortable posture. It has become possible.

Further, according to this embodiment, the number of parts is not increased in structure as compared with the conventional one, so that labor and cost can be reduced.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a steering wheel of a vehicle in which a steering main body and a horn switch provided substantially in the center of the steering main body are connected by two spokes, the horn switch is formed in a rectangular shape, The spoke is made wider and has a larger surface area than the other spoke, and a smooth memo writing surface is formed on the surface of that spoke, and a grip hole is formed in the connection part between that spoke and the steering body, and the other spoke is Since it was installed at a constant inclination angle from the steering body to the central horn switch, a wide area horn switch was provided and a wide flat tomo description surface suitable for memo writing was formed on the surface of the spoke and slips etc. in the car When writing, you can use the memo writing surface of the steering wheel as a simple desk, Rolling user can description of the slips without taking unreasonable attitude.

In addition, a grip hole is formed in the connecting part of the steering body and the spoke so that that part does not hinder the driving operation with respect to the grip, and other spokes are placed from the steering body to the central horn switch. By providing a constant inclination angle over the other side, the other spoke becomes closer to the hand, and the left hand can be easily worn, and the steering operation can be easily performed.

Furthermore, since there is no need to structurally increase the number of parts, there is an advantage that labor and cost can be reduced.
