Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the effect of design while utilizing used paper to save resources by winding spirally a paper tape around the outer periphery of an iron core in a ring portion of a steering wheel and further winding a design tape around the paper tape to from a transparent protective layer on the outer periphery. CONSTITUTION:A paper tape 3 impregnated with adhesives is wound spirally around a straight bar iron core 2a. The iron core 2 around which the paper tape 3 is wound is cut by a cutter 12 to form a ring blank 4. The ring blank 4 is bent into the form of a ring and both ends are welded to each other. A boss plate 6 is secured fixedly to the ring blank 7 to form a steering blank 7. And the ring portion 2 and spoke portion 5 of the steering blank 7 are formed with a desired pattern such as moire, flower. Around this steering blank is wound a design tape 8 impregnated with adhesives to produce a steering wheel 1. After solidification of the adhesives, the adhesives become transparent protective layers 9 for covering the outer periphery of the design tape 8.

空パイプでもよい。As shown in FIG. 1a, first, a straight bar iron core 2a having a diameter of about 5 to 15 mm is coated with an acrylic solvent type in an adhesive bath 11.
A paper tape 3 impregnated with an adhesive such as urethane/epoxy emulsion type is spirally wound to a thickness of about 3 to 100 mrn. Note that the straight bar iron core 2a may be not only a solid bar but also a hollow pipe.

また、紙テープ３に産業廃棄物の故紙を使用すれば省資

せて行なう。After that, the iron core 2a on which the paper tape 3 was spirally wound is
Cut into a predetermined length of about 200 cm with a cutter 12 to form a ring material 4 (see 1st bUgJ). Then, the ring material 4 is bent into a ring shape and the ends are fixed by welding or the like.
Further, the spoke portions 5 and the boss plate 6 fixed to the steering shaft are fixed by welding or the like to form a steering material 7 (see FIG. 1C). The spoke portion 5 used in this embodiment is formed by spirally winding a paper tape 3 similar to the ring material 4 around an iron core 5a. Also, when fixing the spoke portions 5, the ring material 4
The paper tape 3 at the points where it is fixed to the spoke parts 5 is removed, and the iron core 5a is fixed to the ring material iron core 2a.

りすることはない。When the design tape 8 is impregnated with a transparent adhesive as in the example, after the adhesive hardens, the adhesive becomes a transparent protective layer 9 that covers the outer periphery of the design tape 8. When using a design tape that is not impregnated with adhesive, a transparent and hardenable coating liquid may be applied to the design tape separately after wrapping the design tape around the steering material. The manufactured steering wheel 1 includes a ring portion 2 and spoke portions 5.
Since the pattern of the design tape 8 is visible, the design of the steering wheel is improved, and since the transparent protective layer 9 is formed on the outer surface of the design tape 8, the pattern does not come off.

ることができる。As described above, the steering wheel and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention are different from conventional ones in which a coating layer of a synthetic resin material is formed on the outer periphery of the iron core by injection molding, and the coating layer on the outer periphery of the ring part iron core is first formed on the outer periphery of the iron core. Paper tape is spirally wound around the outer periphery, and then a decorative tape is wrapped around it, and a transparent protective layer is formed on the outer surface. Patterns such as wood grain and floral patterns can be easily formed on the ring part. Since the pattern is covered with a transparent protective layer, it is possible to obtain a steering wheel with improved design without falling off.In addition, the paper tape that occupies most of the coating layer on the outer periphery of the ring core was originally The straight rod core is then bent into a ring shape, and the spiral winding of paper tape can be done easily and without much effort, reducing the number of man-hours and costs involved in manufacturing steering wheels. Moreover, if waste paper, which is an industrial waste, is used for the paper tape, it is possible to manufacture an inexpensive steering wheel that helps conserve resources.
