Definitions

  • This invention refers to a procedure for the manufacture of a steering wheel for motor vehicles consisting of an external covering in composite material. More in particular, this invention refers to a procedure which comprises the preparation of composite elements with a laminar structure, hot forming of the elements to obtain a pair of shells, each having a shape corresponding to half of the steering wheel to be produced, and assembly of the shells on the opposite sides of the steering wheel, the body of the steering wheel consisting of a metal core buried inside synthetic resin.
  • steering wheels for motor vehicles can consist of a structure that comprises a metal core buried inside synthetic resin, and an outer covering consisting, for example, of a bivalve shell which forms the part designed to be gripped and the external appearance of the steering wheel.
  • One of the various procedures employed in the manufacture of steering wheels for motor vehicles uses two shells to form the outer covering, obtained by hot forming of suitable laminar material. After the edges have been finished by means of mechanical machining, the shells are respectively applied to the opposite sides of the steering wheel consisting of the metal core and the synthetic resin covering.
  • the two shells making up the covering are then fixed to each other on the steering wheel by means of gluing along their contact line.
  • a further typical example in which the gluing problem becomes evident is when carbon fibre shells are used.
  • the fixing phase of the two shells on the body of the steering wheel comprises a previous stage in which the support sections are applied and fixed on the synthetic resin body of the steering wheel.
  • sections are shaped to form a base for the support and fixing of the two shells.
  • the sections are normally made of metal, typically aluminum which permits easy clinching to the body of the steering wheel and a particular aesthetic appearance when the section is left on view as described in the patent application EP-Al-1029771.
  • metal material is particularly disadvantageous in consideration of the great difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of these materials compared with the materials used to manufacture the coverings.
  • the great difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of these materials inevitably leads to the two shells forming the outer covering becoming detached.
  • the procedure described in the patent EP-Al-1029771 presents a further disadvantage in consideration of the particular machining that the body of the steering wheel must undergo.
  • the gluing or clinching of the sections must in fact be carried out with particular precision so as to avoid problems when fitting the shells on the body of the steering wheel and the unsightly appearance of the end product.
  • the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks comprised in the background art by means of a procedure that comprises the preparation of composite elements with a laminar structure, hot forming of the elements to obtain a pair of shells, each having a shape corresponding to half of the steering wheel to be produced, and assembly of the shells on the opposite sides of the steering wheel, the body of the steering wheel consisting of a metal core buried inside synthetic resin.
  • the procedure according to the present invention comprises a phase, carried out before assembly on the body of the steering wheel, in which the shells are fitted on internal elements designed to ensure effective and long-lasting gluing both to the steering wheel and between the two shells comprising the covering.
  • an element with the structure of a particularly thin shell, and a wider cross-section than the shell to which it is applied and which will form the outer covering of the steering wheel is glued inside a first shell comprising the covering and obtained by hot forming.
  • the second shell comprising the covering is fitted over the projections of the inner shell applied to the first shell, being fixed by gluing.
  • an element with the structure of a particularly thin second shell, and a smaller cross-section than the shell to which it is applied is fixed inside both shells forming the covering of the steering wheel.
  • the elements are applied displaced with respect to the edges of the shells so that one of the edges of the applied element projects slightly with respect to the edge of one of the shells.
  • Two shells are thus obtained and used to form the covering of a steering wheel for motor vehicles, having a structure at their respective edges which is very similar to a male female joint structure obtained without any specific machining of the edges, a process which would be particularly delicate in view of the minimal thickness of the shells.
  • This particular form of embodiment according to the invention also makes it possible to guarantee support and reinforcement of the shells making up the covering of the steering wheel and in the assembly stage to distribute any elastic stress on both parts of the structure and not solely on one of the two as in the previous form of embodiment.
  • the elements applied to the shells forming the covering of the steering wheel consist of flat plates with an elongated structure.
  • figure 1 represents, in largely schematic form, a first embodiment of a procedure for the manufacture of a steering wheel for motor vehicles according to the present invention
  • figure 2 represents, in largely schematic form, a second embodiment of a procedure for the manufacture of a steering wheel for motor vehicles according to the present invention
  • figure 3 represents, in largely schematic form, a third embodiment of a procedure for the manufacture of a steering wheel for motor vehicles according to the present invention
  • figures 4 and 5 represent two respective cross- sections of a steering wheel for motor vehicles manufactured by means of two forms of embodiment of the procedure according to the present invention.
  • a classic steering wheel for motor vehicles normally comprises a central part or hub, a plurality of radial spokes and an outer edge.
  • the outer edge 10 consists of a metal core 11 buried inside synthetic resin 12.
  • This covering 13 generally consists of two shells 13a, 13b superimposed one on the other and joined together.
  • These shells 13a, 13b may be produced for example by means of the forming of glass fibre or carbon fibre materials with a laminar structure according to known procedures and additionally treated and machined in order to provide the structure with features of rigidity and gripping stability.
  • the shells obtained by means of these machining processes as shown in figures 1 to 3 , comprise a convex external side, a concave internal side and edges.
  • elements 14a, 14b which may be made from composite material are applied to the inner side of the shells 13a, 13b and constitute the system which connects and fixes the two shells 13a, 13b forming the covering 13.
  • a similar element 14 is applied to the inner side of the shell 13a in such a way that the edges of this element 14 project with respect to the edges of the shell 13a and can couple and be joined for example by means of gluing to the edges of the second shell 13b forming the covering of the steering wheel.
  • an element 14a, 14b is applied to the inner side of both shells 13a and 13b near a respective edge in such a way that the edges of this element 14 project with respect to the edges of the shell 13a and can couple and be joined for example by means of gluing to the edges of the second shell 13b forming the covering of the steering wheel.
  • the elements 14a and 14b applied to the shells 13a and 13b forming the covering of the steering wheel consist in this case of flat plates to be applied, for example by means of gluing, to the edges of the inner sides of the shells.
  • the plates 14a and 14b can be glued either to just one of the shells or to both of them, and either to one edge of the shell or to both edges.
  • each plate 14a, 14b projects from the edge of one of the shells in such a way that it can couple with the edge of the other shell forming the covering and be glued to it.
