Embodiment Construction

[0020] Referring to the drawings, numeral 1 generally designates a cover for a vehicle steering wheel (not shown), especially for an air bag device, which is generally held in the vehicle steering wheel.

[0021] According to the invention, the cover 1 comprises: a main body 2, a support element 3 having a predetermined contour, such as a circular contour, an elliptical (rhomboidal egg) contour and / or other contours, at least one light source 4 for diffusing light emitted from the light source 4 The light diffuser device 5, the electronic control device 6 and the board 7 for controlling the light source 4.

[0022] See especially Figure 2-4 , which shows the above elements held in the steering wheel cover of the vehicle, it is worth mentioning that the main body 2 is connected to the support element 3 , while the diffuser device 5 and the electronic control unit 6 are interposed between said main body 2 and said support element 3 between.

[0023] Advantageously, the electr...

Abstract

The present invention addresses a vehicle steering-wheel cover (1) comprising a body (2) and a support element (3) having a predetermined profile, said support element (3) being associated to said body (2) The characterizing feature of the present invention is that diffuser means (5) for diffusing a light emitted from at least one light source (4), as well as electronic control means (6) for controlling said light source (4) to obtain a visual effect in response to data (D) concerning the status of the vehicle (8) are interposed between said body (2) and said support element (3).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle steering wheel cover, in particular but not limited to a cover for an airbag arrangement of a vehicle steering wheel according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Airbag devices are widely used in the automotive industry as passive safety systems that can be mounted to the steering wheel, dashboard, seats and / or roof of a motor vehicle. [0003] In most applications, the airbag is a fabric bag, eg made of Kevlar, which is arranged in a housing in the central part of the steering wheel. [0004] In the event of a strong collision of the vehicle, the center portion of the front wall of this housing is designed to violently rupture based on airbag triggering, thereby preventing the driver from being hit by the steering column. [0005] While this airbag arrangement offers undoubted advantages for the passive safety of the driver, it still prevents the visually convenient installation of a device d...
