Abstract
A cover for a steering wheel having a wire or other rigid circular member of fixed diameter greater than the inside diameter, but less than the outside diameter, of the steering wheel, and an annulus of elasticized fabric or other flexible elastic material secured to the wire. The annulus has an outside diameter corresponding to the diameter of the wire and a radial width corresponding to the axial circumference of the steering wheel. The wire is placed along the inside or lower surface of the steering wheel rim in abutting relationship, and the elastic material is stretched around the axial circumference of the steering wheel such that the elasticity of the material causes the material to grip the steering wheel and form a cover therefor.
Claims5
A cover for a steering wheel rim comprising:
- a circular wire having a fixed diameter greater than the inside diameter of the steering wheel rim and less than the outside diameter of the steering wheel rim;
- and
- an annulus of flexible elastic material having an outside diameter corresponding to the diameter of the circular wire and a radial width substantially corresponding to the axial circumference of the steering wheel rim, the flexible elastic material being secured to the circular wire along the circumference of the annulus;
- whereby when the circular wire is placed in abutment with the surface of the steering wheel rim, and the flexible elastic material is stretched around the axial circumference of the steering wheel rim, the elasticity of the material causes the material to grip the steering wheel and form a toroid corresponding to the shape of the steering wheel rim.
