The present invention is directed to systems for providing a pathway for at least one electrical conductor from a power source to a steering wheel comprising at least one working element therein or thereon. The working element of the steering wheel may comprise an exemplary heating element to which the electrical conductor(s) connect. Alternatively, the steering wheel may comprise controllers for vehicle functions, e.g., radio, telephone and the like to which the electrical conductor(s) connect. More specifically, several embodiments of the invention comprise an electrical conductor pathway from a power source and on/off switch through the steering column to exemplary steering wheel heating elements with accommodation for the continuous winding and unwinding that occurs when the steering wheel is turned relative to the steering column which remains stationary.
A system for providing an electrical conductor pathway from a power source to a working element located on or in the steering wheel of a vehicle, comprising:
A system for connecting a power source with a heating element in a steering wheel, comprising:
