TILLER KNOB ASSEMBLY FOR STEERING WHEEL

摘要

A tiller knob has a top section having a lower periphery with a first plurality of indented segments and a bottom section having an upper periphery with a second plurality of indented segments. When the lower periphery and the upper periphery are mated with one another, the first plurality of indented segments cooperates with the second plurality of indented segments to form separate openings around an outer circumference of the tiller knob. A center section is located between the top section and the bottom section so that outer surfaces of extending segments are exposed through the separate openings. A multi-sectional tiller knob having top and bottom sections formed of a first material and a center section formed of a second material is also disclosed.

主权项

1. A tiller knob assembly for a steering wheel, comprising:
a top section having a lower periphery, wherein the lower periphery comprises a first plurality of indented segments; a bottom section having an upper periphery, wherein the upper periphery comprises a second plurality of indented segments, and the first and second plurality of indented segments are arranged such that when the lower periphery and the upper periphery are mated with one another along a mating interface, each of the first plurality of indented segments cooperates with a respective complimentary one of the second plurality of indented segments to form one of a plurality of separate openings around an outer circumference of the mating interface; and a center section located between the top section and the bottom section, the center section including a plurality of extending segments, wherein each extending segment includes a respective one of the plurality of separate openings.
