Leather-wrapped steering wheel and method for manufacturing the same

摘要

The leather-wrapped steering wheel of the present invention is provided with a ring portion which is gripped at the time of steering. The ring portion includes a core, a covering layer which covers the core and leather which covers the covering layer. The covering layer includes an annular groove in the circumferential direction of the cross section of the ring portion. The leather is constituted such that binding strings are disposed at the distal edges of the leather in the surface circumferencial direction of the ring portion, and the distal edges are fitted into the annular grooves so as to cover the covering layer. The distal edges of the leather are disposed in the annular grooves together with the binding strings and are fitted into the annular grooves by pulling and tying both ends of the binding strings to each other.
