Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, specifically to a steering wheel cover. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing popularity of cars, more and more consumers like to use steering wheel covers. Because the fabric or plush materials used for steering wheel covers are too soft to be directly fixed to the steering wheel, a supporting frame is needed. Generally, steering wheel covers come in two types: one is O-shaped, which can be directly fitted onto the outer circumference of the steering wheel. O-shaped steering wheel covers are the most common design on the market, but their aesthetics are generally considered average; the other type is C-shaped.

[0003] Existing C-shaped steering wheel covers typically use ABS material and are glued to the steering wheel. The covering layer is usually made of one or more pieces of material sewn together. The stitching is often exposed on the cover surface, affecting aesthetics and potentially causing wear and tear, or even fraying, due to friction over time. Furthermore, traditional steering wheel covers still have room for improvement in terms of fit and grip comfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to address the above problems, this utility model aims to provide a car steering wheel cover.

[0005] To achieve this technical objective, the present invention provides a car steering wheel cover, comprising a bottom frame and a covering layer covering the bottom frame. The bottom frame has a C-shaped cross-section, allowing it to be snapped onto the car steering wheel. The bottom frame has a groove that recesses from the surface of the bottom frame toward the bottom surface that contacts the car steering wheel. The covering layer is formed by sewing together at least two separate pieces of covering material, with the sewn part corresponding to the groove and embedded within the groove.

[0006] Preferably, the groove is a through groove extending circumferentially along the bottom frame, with its two ends extending to the two open ends of the bottom frame, respectively.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom frame is provided with a raised section for adapting to the steering wheel grip area; the groove passes through the raised section, and the curvature of the groove at the raised section matches the curvature of the outer surface of the raised section.

[0008] Preferably, the extension trajectory of the groove is parallel to the outer curved surface contour of the bottom frame, and the end of the groove tapers into a smooth arc shape near the opening of the bottom frame.

[0009] Preferably, there are two grooves, which are symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the bottom frame.

[0010] Preferably, the curvature of the main body of each groove is consistent with the curvature of the outer contour of its corresponding bottom frame, and the two ends of each groove are arc-shaped.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting grooves on the bottom frame and embedding the sewn parts of the covering layer accordingly, the stitching is completely hidden, effectively solving the problem of exposed thread ends and easy wear and tear in traditional disc sleeves, and significantly improving the overall appearance and aesthetics of the product. At the same time, the groove structure helps to enhance the fit between the covering layer and the bottom frame, making the installation more stable, improving service life and grip comfort.

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. To provide a clear and complete description of the technical solution, the following embodiments are selected for illustration; these embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention; other embodiments obtained based on this application without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] In the following embodiments, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "top / bottom," etc., are all based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the purpose of clearly describing this embodiment. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. At the same time, the terms "first" and "second" in the embodiments are only used for descriptive purposes and do not represent an indication or implication of relative importance.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a specific embodiment of this utility model is a car steering wheel cover, including a bottom frame 1 with a C-shaped cross-section, which can be snapped onto the car steering wheel by its own elastic tension. A covering layer, made of at least two separately divided covering materials (such as leather, fabric, or plush material) sewn together, covers the outer surface of the bottom frame 1. A groove 2 is formed on the bottom frame 1, which is recessed from the outer surface of the bottom frame 1 toward the bottom surface that contacts the car steering wheel. The sewn part of the covering layer (i.e., the stitching) corresponds to the position of the groove 2 and is embedded inside the groove 2. The stitching is completely sunk into the groove 2, and its upper surface is not higher than the outer surface contour of the bottom frame 1, thus being covered and hidden by the material of the covering layer.

[0025] The following embodiments are all based on the above basic structure, with different emphases in the specific configuration design of the groove 2, in order to suit different optimization needs.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1-2As shown, in this embodiment, the groove 2 is a through groove extending circumferentially along the bottom frame 1, with its two ends extending to the two open ends of the bottom frame 1. Simultaneously, a raised section 3 is provided on the bottom frame 1 corresponding to the commonly used gripping areas of the steering wheel (such as the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions). The groove 2 passes through this raised section 3, and the curvature of the groove at this location matches the curvature of the outer surface of the raised section 3. The circumferential through groove design allows the entire annular stitching of the covering layer to be completely concealed, making the stitching invisible from any angle, achieving a very high degree of visual integrity. The groove's curvature adaptation design at the raised section 3 ensures that the covering layer remains flat and smooth in the key areas of steering wheel gripping, without excess wrinkles or protrusions. After the stitching is hidden in the adapted groove, the fingers still touch the smooth covering surface.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figure 3-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the extension trajectory of the groove 2 remains parallel to the outer curved surface contour of the bottom frame 1. Furthermore, the end 31 of the groove 2 tapers smoothly into a rounded shape near the opening of the bottom frame 1. This rounded end design effectively prevents the bottom frame 1 from breaking in this vulnerable area at the opening due to repeated disassembly or use stress. This design does not rely on a specific raised shape and is suitable for various minimalist steering wheel covers, ensuring the basic function of concealing stitching while emphasizing the product's robustness and durability.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two grooves 2, symmetrically distributed on opposite sides (e.g., the left and right sides) of the bottom frame 1. The main curvature of each groove 2 is consistent with the outer contour curvature of the bottom frame 1 at its location, and both ends 31 of each groove 2 are arc-shaped convergences. Compared to a circumferential through groove, two symmetrical independent grooves, while sufficiently concealing the main stitching lines, retain more continuous parts in the bottom frame structure, helping to maintain the overall skeletal strength and rigidity. From a manufacturing perspective, the mold structure can be relatively simplified, which is beneficial for cost control. This design is very suitable for disc sleeves made by sewing together two main packaging materials.

[0032] In actual production, the design scheme of any of the above embodiments can be selected according to product positioning, cost budget, and different performance emphases, or the beneficial design features therein can be reasonably combined, such as... Figure 6-9 The fourth embodiment shown uses a through groove and adds some protrusions on the side to prevent slipping and ensure safety, so as to adapt to different products.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any minor modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
