Title: Vehicle steering wheel mounting
IPC: B62D1/10
Filed: 1996-02-19
Abstract: The steering column assembly comprises a steering shaft (3) inside an external tube (1) fixed to an end cap (2). The end cap can support light and indicator controls. The steering shaft has roller bearings (4) ensuring its free rotation and can have an anti-theft device (5). The steering wheel has an axial hub (7), in which an air bag is incorporated, with a projecting shaft (9) which is engaged inside the steering shaft. The column external tube has a conical or widened part (3a) in which a corresponding part (9a) on the wheel shaft fits. The steering shaft has a support collar (11) in which are locking balls (12) which pass through corresponding holes in the side walls, partially confining a peripheral groove (10) so that the parts are securely fixed axially. Once the steering column assembly has been installed in the vehicle the wheel shaft is engaged in the axial cavity in the steering shaft so that its free end (9b) pushes the balls into the groove.
