[0077] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals may denote the same or functionally identical components. When describing an embodiment related to any one of the drawings, other drawings may be referred to, wherein if a component and / or reference numeral mentioned in the description of any one of the drawings does not appear in that drawing, the same or functionally identical component and / or the assigned reference numeral appearing in other drawings may be referred to.

[0078] First, with reference to Figures 2 to 6 a webbing assembly 2 for a vehicle according to a first embodiment of the present invention and a steering wheel 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The steering wheel is an exemplary arrangement structure for a vehicle and includes the webbing assembly 2. The vehicle not shown may be a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car.

[0079] The webbing assembly 2 includes a flexible webbing body 20 that extends linearly, has a substantially constant width, and has two opposite ends. The webbing body 20 is fixedly provided with an attachment 21 and 23 at the two ends respectively. These attachments 21 and 23 are integrally connected to the corresponding ends of the webbing body 20 in the form of overmolded parts by plastic injection molding, and thus form the first mounting end 22 and the second mounting end 24 of the webbing assembly 2. The second mounting end 24 has a mounting hole 25. The mounting hole 25 can be configured as an oval through-hole, and the major axis of the oval through-hole can be substantially parallel to the longitudinal extension direction of the webbing body 20. In some embodiments, the same or similar material as that of the vehicle seat belt can be used as the material of the webbing body 20. In some embodiments, the material of the webbing body 20 can be substantially inelastic or can have a predetermined elasticity.

[0080] In Figure 4 and Figure 5 the structural details of the two mounting ends 22 and 24 of the webbing assembly 2 can be seen, where Figure 4 is a partial longitudinal sectional view along the longitudinal centerline of the webbing assembly 2 in the region of the first mounting end 22 of the webbing assembly 2 in an exemplary application of the webbing assembly 2 to the steering wheel 6, and Figure 5 is a partial longitudinal sectional view along the longitudinal centerline of the webbing assembly 2 in the region of the second mounting end 24 of the webbing assembly 2 in an exemplary application of the webbing assembly 2 to the steering wheel 6.

[0081] As Figure 4 shown, in the first mounting end 22 of the webbing assembly 2, the first attachment 21 can form a step on the first end of the webbing body 20 relative to the two side surfaces of the webbing body 20 in the form of an overmolded part. Similarly, as Figure 5 shown, in the second mounting end 24 of the webbing assembly 2, the second attachment 23 can form a step on the second end of the webbing body 20 opposite to the first end relative to the two side surfaces of the webbing body 20 in the form of an overmolded part. It can be understood that providing a step on the second mounting end 24 is an optional item. In an embodiment not shown, the second mounting end 24 may not have a step.

[0082] In a variant not shown, instead of an overmolded part, on the first end of the webbing body 20, the first attachment 21 is integrally connected to the webbing body 20 in the form of an injection molding part (side injection molding part) on only one side surface of the webbing body 20, and thus according to this variant, the first mounting end 22 of the webbing assembly 2 has a single step on only one side surface (the first side surface 26 or the second side surface 27) of the webbing body 20.

[0083] In asFigure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the first mounting end 22 and the second mounting end 24 have different profile shapes. In a variant (not shown), the modified first mounting end may have the same profile shape as the second mounting end 24 as shown in Figure 3 Shown. Similar to the first mounting end 22 as in Figure 3 , the modified first mounting end does not have a mounting hole.

[0084] In another variant (not shown), the webbing body 20 may be provided with a first attachment 21 as shown in Figure 3 at its first end, and thus the webbing assembly has a first mounting end; the webbing body 20 may not be provided with a second attachment 23 as shown in Figure 3 at its second end, and thus the webbing assembly does not have a second mounting end. Here, the second end of the webbing body 20 may be configured as a free end and may be provided with a decoration, for example a decoration made of fabric.

[0085] Figure 3 is a perspective view of an arrangement including a webbing assembly 2 according to an embodiment of the invention, the arrangement providing a steering wheel 6 for a vehicle, wherein the webbing assembly 2 is configured as a decorative element of the steering wheel 6. The steering wheel 6 has a rim 61 and a central hub 62, which are connected by two spokes 63, and various operating elements may be provided on these spokes 63. A structural unit (not shown) may be mounted on the central hub 62, and the structural unit may include an airbag for the driver and a sounding device for the vehicle horn.

[0086] As in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the webbing assembly 2 can be detachably mounted to the rim 61 of the steering wheel 6 at its first mounting end 22. To this end, the rim 61 of the steering wheel 6 can be provided with a first receiving member 3. The first receiving member 3 can be a part of the skeleton of the rim 61, or can be an injection-molded part injection-molded on the skeleton, or can be mounted to the rim 61 as a separate component. The first receiving member 3 can have a receiving groove 30 and barbs protruding from the groove wall of the receiving groove 30, and the barbs can constitute a first stop 31. The webbing assembly 2 can insert its first mounting end 22 into the receiving groove 30 of the first receiving member 3. The first stop 31 can cooperate with a first step 221 on the first side surface 26 of the webbing body 20 of the first mounting end 22. After the webbing assembly 2 inserts its first mounting end 22 into the receiving groove 30 of the first receiving member 3, the plugging member 4 can be inserted into the receiving groove 30. The plugging member 4 can hold the first mounting end 22 of the webbing assembly 2 in position in the receiving groove 30, such that the first mounting end 22 cannot move in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first mounting end 22 is pulled out of the receiving groove 30. The plugging member 4 can have a second stop 41, and the second stop 41 can cooperate with a second step 222 on the second side surface 27 of the webbing body 20 of the first mounting end 22 opposite to the first side surface 26. The second stop 41 can be configured as a step of the plugging member 4. Through the combined action of the two stops 221, 222 and the two steps 31, 41 of the first mounting end 22, the first mounting end 22 cannot be pulled out of the receiving groove 30 and can thus be stably held in the receiving groove 30. The plugging member 4 can be held on the rim 61 of the steering wheel 6 in any suitable manner, for example, can be detachably held on the rim 61 by screw connection or by snap connection. When it is necessary to replace the webbing assembly 2, the plugging member 4 can be first removed from the rim 61, and then the first mounting end 22 can be removed from the receiving groove 30.

[0087] As Figure 3 and Figure 5 shown, the webbing assembly 2 can be detachably mounted to the central hub portion 62 of the steering wheel 6 at its second mounting end 24. To this end, the hub portion 62 can be provided with a second receiving member 5. Figure 5 Shows the connection structure of the second mounting end 24 of the webbing assembly 2 on the central hub portion 62 of the steering wheel 6. Figure 6 Is a perspective view of an exemplary second receiving member 5.

[0088] The second receiving member 5 may have a plate-like portion 51 having opposite first and second side surfaces. The plate-like portion 51 has a mounting surface 54 on its first side surface. A receiving hole 55 penetrates through the plate-like portion 51 and extends into a columnar portion 56 protruding from the second side surface of the plate-like portion 51. When the second mounting end 24 is mounted on the second receiving member 5 by a bolt 7, the receiving hole 55 may be a threaded hole, where the bolt 7 passes through the mounting hole 25 of the second mounting end 24 and is screwed into the receiving hole 55.

[0089] The second receiving member 5 may have a guiding portion 52 bent from the plate-like portion 51 toward its first side surface. The guiding portion 52 is configured to guide the webbing body 20 in a tensioned state. The guiding portion 52 may have a guiding groove 50. The guiding groove 50 may have a guiding edge 58 extending transversely and two guiding legs 57 protruding from the guiding edge 58. The guiding edge 58 is configured to guide the upper first side surface 26 of the webbing body 20 in a tensioned state, such that the first side surface 26 of the webbing body 20 can slide along the guiding edge 58. Each guiding leg 57 is configured to guide one of the two longitudinal edges 28 of the webbing body 20 in a tensioned state. Through the guiding of the webbing body 20 by the guiding portion 52, the visible portion of the webbing body 20 can maintain its position and orientation.

[0090] In the tensioned state of the webbing body 20, the second mounting end 24 of the webbing assembly 2 may rest with the edge of its end side on the flat mounting surface 54 of the plate-like portion 51. The flat side surface of the second mounting end 24 facing the second receiving member 5 may form an angle α with the mounting surface 54. By operating the bolt 7, the angle α can be changed to adjust the tension degree of the webbing body 20. For example, when the webbing assembly 2 degrades in performance during use and thus becomes slack, the bolt 7 can be appropriately screwed into the receiving hole 55 so that the webbing body 20 is maintained at a predetermined tension degree. At this time, the angle α will decrease accordingly. The bolt 7 may have a self-locking ability. As an alternative or supplement, the bolt 7 may be provided with anti-loosening measures.

[0091] The second receiving member 5 may have a mounting portion 53 bent from the plate-like portion 51 toward its second side surface. The mounting portion 53 is configured to mount the second receiving member 5 to the central hub portion 62 of the steering wheel 6. For this purpose, the mounting portion 53 may have a plurality of mounting holes and may be firmly fixed to the hub portion 62 by a plurality of fasteners.

[0092] Figure 7Longitudinal sectional view of the webbing assembly 2a according to the second embodiment of the present invention in the region of a first mounting end 22a. The first attachment 21a is attached to the first end of the webbing body 20a to form the first mounting end 22a. The first attachment 21a includes a first attachment portion 71 and a second attachment portion 72. The first attachment portion 71 is disposed on the first side surface 26a of the webbing body 20a at the first end of the webbing body 20a and forms a first step 221a with respect to the first side surface 26a. The second attachment portion 72 is disposed on the second side surface 27a of the webbing body 20a opposite to the first side surface 26a at the first end of the webbing body 20a and forms a second step 222a with respect to the second side surface 27a. The first attachment portion 71, the first end of the webbing body 20a, and the second attachment portion 72 form a sandwich structure and are fixedly connected to each other. To this end, the first attachment portion 71 and the second attachment portion 72 can be fixed to each other by a fastener 75. The second attachment portion 72 may have a threaded sleeve 73, and the first attachment portion 71 may have a recess 74 for receiving the threaded sleeve 73. The threaded sleeve 73 passes through the opening 76 of the webbing body 20a and is inserted into the recess 74. In the embodiment as shown in Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the fastener 75 is a bolt that is screwed from the first attachment portion 71 into the threaded sleeve 73.
