20120073401 | IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO A STEERING WHEEL - A steering wheel has a rim with an armature substantially encapsulated by foam. The foam includes a major foam member and a separate minor foam member. The major foam member has a cross-sectional profile effective to cover a major cross-sectional extent of the armature and define a gap in the foam member adjacent the armature. The gap has a maximum cross-sectional width which is equal to or less than the cross-sectional width of the armature, and is substantially filled by said minor foam member. | 03-29-2012 |
20120240721 | STEERING WHEEL - A steering wheel has a gripping portion including an armature substantially encapsulated by a cover, and an outer skin provided over the cover. The outer skin comprises a layer of fabric material defining first and second opposed surfaces. The first surface of the fabric material has a polymeric coating. The first surface is attached to the outermost surface of the cover and the second surface defines a peripheral surface of the gripping portion. Preferably, the second surface of the fabric layer is substantially uncoated. In preferred arrangements, the second surface of the fabric layer has a surface relief pattern substantially defined by a weave of the fabric and thus defines a peripheral surface pattern. | 09-27-2012 |

20090309337 | Mounting Arrangement for Mounting an Air-Bag Module - A mounting arrangement for mounting an air-bag module to a hub of a steering wheel. The hub being provided with apertures and cutaway sections and a spring. The spring is moveable from a release position in which parts of the spring do not extend across the apertures or the cutaway sections to a locking position in which parts of the spring extend across the apertures and the cutaway sections. The spring is initially deformed and is held in the release position against blocking elements. The air-bag module is provided with hooks which are positioned on the air-bag module to correspond to the positions of the apertures and the cutaway sections on the hub. The air-bag module is provided with an actuation member which, when the hooks are inserted into the apertures, engages part of the spring to urge the spring out of engagement with the blocking elements. When the spring is moved out of engagement with the blocking elements the spring moves from the release position to the locking position and parts of the spring extend into recesses in the hooks to lock the hooks in position relative to the hub. | 12-17-2009 |
