Patent ID: 7673898

Claim:
Device for mounting a module carrier on a rotatable steering wheel of a motor vehicle in such a manner that the angular position of the module carrier remains constant during a rotation of the steering wheel, with a first toothed ring connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the module carrier, a lever, which is mounted on the steering wheel via a bearing section in a manner such that it can pivot to and fro between two positions, a first toothed wheel, which is mounted rotatably on a first arm of the lever and meshes with the first toothed ring in a first position of the lever, and elastic means, which are arranged and provided in order to press the first toothed wheel elastically against the first toothed ring, the first toothed wheel interacting with the steering wheel in such a manner that a rotation of the steering wheel in one direction causes a rotation of the module carrier, which is connected to the first toothed ring, in the opposite direction, and therefore the angular position of the module carrier remains constant, characterized in that, to actuate the lever, the lever has a second arm which is connected via the bearing section to the first arm of the lever.
