ABSTRACT:
An electrically heated cover for the steering wheel of an automobile, truck, power boat, aircraft, and the like, which is readily snapped onto the outside of the rim of the wheel. The cover includes an annularly extending sleeve parted along a line facing and parallel to the rim of the steering wheel to permit the sleeve to be readily mounted and removed. The sleeve is comprised of inner and outer separated covers joined at both parting edges and contains an array of electric heating elements arranged in parallel and embedded in layer of thermally conductive, electrically insulative material. A layer of thermal insulation is disposed within the covers between the heating elements and inner cover for inhibiting the flow of heat into the steering wheel. Electric power is supplied to the electric heating element through the circuitry to a horn switch on the steering wheel and is controlled by an illuminated switch on a horn cover on the wheel. The switch may include a timer for limiting the period of operation of the heating elements.
