Embodiment Construction

[0022] figure 1 A steering wheel 1 with a steering wheel rim to be leathered is schematically shown in . The steering wheel 1 is positioned on a device not shown such that the steering wheel can pivot about the axis of the device. A slider 2 is arranged to the steering wheel 1 on which a cover strip 3 is positioned. as from figure 2 It can be seen that the cover layer strip 3 is already preformed in the slider 2 . The steering wheel has been arranged on the outer side 4 of the steering wheel rim with a double-sided adhesive tape 7 .

[0023] as from image 3 It can be seen that the steering wheel rim has a foam layer 6 on the steering wheel frame 5 . Arranged on this foam layer 6 is an annular groove 10 extending transversely to the steering wheel rim, in which groove 10 a plurality of spring clips 11 are arranged.

[0024] The steering wheel rim is now covered with the cover strip 3 in such a way that one end 12 of the cover strip 3 is clamped into the clip 11 . Then,...

Abstract

A method for coating a steering wheel and a corresponding steering wheel having a steering wheel rim comprising a steering wheel skeleton having a foam layer applied thereto and intended to be encompassed by a cover layer made of leather or plastic are provided. In order to simplify production, the cover layer is positioned on the steering wheel rim as a strip and is fixed to the foam layer on one end. The cover layer strip is then glued onto the foam layer and the lateral edges of the cover layer strip are sewed together in a known manner.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for covering a steering wheel and to a corresponding steering wheel. Background technique [0002] Typically, a steering wheel has a steering wheel skeleton with a circular steering wheel rim surrounded by a layer of foam. A cover layer made of leather or plastic is applied over this foam layer. The mode of applying the covering layer, hereinafter referred to as leathering, has hitherto been carried out only by manual operation. Therefore, a strip of leather or plastic is first assembled to the ring, depending on the ring form of the steering wheel rim. The ring fits on the steering wheel rim. Subsequently, glue is used to set the foam layer of the steering wheel rim, but with this glue the cover layer is fixed to the foam layer. In a further work step, the side edges of the ring are stitched to each other by hand. [0003] The disadvantage of this method is that the endless covering strip can only be positioned o...
