Vehicle steering wheel cover assembly
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a vehicle steering wheel cover assembly and, particularly, to a vehicle steering wheel cover assembly in which a first electric connecting part and a second electric connecting part are connected to each other by means of magnetic force in order to supply power to a heater installed in the steering wheel cover, to thereby keep the structure simple and also allow the manufacturing cost to be kept low.
1. A vehicle steering wheel cover assembly characterized in that and comprising:
a steering wheel cover;
a heater installed in the steering wheel cover;
a first electric connecting part connected to the heater; and
a second electric connecting part whose one end is connected to a power supply of the vehicle, and the other end is connected to the first electric connecting part,
wherein the first electric connecting part and the second electric connecting part are connected to each other by means of magnetic force in order to supply power to the heater, wherein a guide portion for guiding the second power supply connecting portion is included, and
wherein a coil part is provided in the second electric connecting part in a way that the electrical connection is maintained as the second electric connecting part is stretched when the steering wheel is rotated within a certain angle; and a stopper portion which prevents the second electric connecting part from being withdrawn further than a predetermined length is provided in a way that the first electric connecting part and the second electric connecting part are separated when the steering wheel is rotated in excess of the certain angle; and the second electric connecting part is returned to its original position after the separation of the first electric connecting part and the second electric connecting part; and the second electric connecting part is guided by the guide portion when returning to its original position after separation from the first electrical connecting part.
2. The vehicle steering wheel cover assembly according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second electric connecting part is returned to its original position by the elastic force of the coil part formed between the one end and the other end of the second electric connecting part, and
wherein the second electric connecting portion is stretched by the coil part, and a switch which turns the heater on and off is connected to the first electric connecting part.
