Steering wheel

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To easily obtain a shock absorptive steering wheel at a low price, by reinforcing synthetic resin with glass robing fiber and forming a rim core material from the synthetic resin. CONSTITUTION:A hub core 1 comprises a boss part 2 and is formed as an integral unit by an aluminum die cast alloy. Spoke core materials 3 consist of plastic deforming metal, and their internal end is integtally cast to the hub core 1. A rim core material 4 is integrally formed by unsaturated polyester resin or epoxy resin contained with glass robing fiber as a reinforcing material. External ends of a pair of spoke core materials 3 are adapted internally to the rim core material 4, and these core materials 3 and 4 are enveloped and connected by a junction unit 5 of die cast alloy to the periphery in the vicinity of their almost T-shaped junction place. Further a coated external layer 6, contained with the junction units 5, is formed in the external surface.
