Definitions

  • An adjustable steering wheel for an automotive vehicle comprising a hub portion and an annular portion interconnected by a number of spoke members.
  • the annular portion includes two movable arcuate sections slidably connected to the spoke members and which are radially displaceable relative to the remainder of the annular portion. In the displaced position the two movable arcuate sections provide a pair of hand grips having increased radii relative to the normal radius of the annular portion.
  • Lock means are provided which selectively lock the movable sections into normal diameter or increased diameter positions. The lock means are releaseable by the depressing of a thumb button located adjacent each movable section.
  • An alternate embodiment utilizes a handle-bar type steering wheel in which the handle portions are displaceable radially outwardly relative to their normal positions.

PUBLISHED JUNE 23, 1970 An adjustable steering wheel for an automotive vehicle comprising a hub portion and an annular portion interconnected by a number of spoke members. The annular portion includes two movable arcuate sections slidably connected to the spoke members and which are radially displaceable relative to the remainder of the annular portion. In the displaced position the two movable arcuate sections provide a pair of hand grips having increased radii relative to the normal radius of the annular portion. Lock means are provided which selectively lock the movable sections into normal diameter or increased diameter positions. The lock means are releaseable by the depressing of a thumb button located adjacent each movable section.
An alternate embodiment utilizes a handle-bar type steering wheel in which the handle portions are displaceable radially outwardly relative to their normal positions.
