Abstract
A steering wheel cover comprising an annular band of soft, flexible material having a length dimensioned for distension around a steering wheel rim and a width dimensioned for wrapping around said rim, juxtaposing opposite side edges of the band. The band is formed with hems at and extending longitudinally of the side edges and is perforated for interlacing the side edges. A flexible cord is mounted in and extends longitudinally of each of the hems between the perforations and the side edges. The cords and perforations are positioned for and the cords have tensile strength requisite for transmitting to the side edges the clamping action of the interlacing while relieving stress on the walls of the perforations.
