A steering wheel "after-market" overlay, having a unitary, integral, relatively stiff, thin-walled construction, is adapted to be adhesively applied to and closely conform to the surface of the upper portion of an original equipment steering wheel. The overlay covers not only the upper portion of the steering wheel grip but also the upper portions of the steering wheel spokes up to the center pad of the steering wheel. The portion of the overlay covering each spoke has an radially inner terminus including a flange that is adapted to extend into the small space that typically exists between the inner end surface of the spoke and the side peripheral surface of the center pad. By also covering the upper portions of the spokes, not only is the appearance of the overlaid steering wheel enhanced, but the bonded surface area is substantially increased thereby assuring the long term positional stability and peel resistance of the overlay.
Pellicule de recouvrement «de marché secondaire» pour volant. Cette pellicule, constituée d'une paroi mince, faite d'une seule pièce relativement rigide, est conçue pour être collée et s'adapter de près à la surface supérieure d'un volant d'équipement d'origine. La pellicule ne recouvre pas seulement la surface supérieure de la jante du volant, mais aussi les surfaces supérieures des branches, jusqu'au moyeu du volant. Les sections de la pellicule, qui recouvrent les branches, comprennent une extrémité radiale interne munie d'un bord conçu pour s'insérer dans le petit espace habituellement présent entre la surface de l'extrémité interne de la branche et la surface de la paroi périphérique du moyeu. En couvrant également les surfaces supérieures des branches, non seulement l'apparence du volant est-elle améliorée, mais cela augmente sensiblement l'aire de la surface collée, ce qui permet à la pellicule de rester en place et de résister à l'arrachement plus longtemps.
