ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an attachment device for connecting a steering wheel to a steering shaft. The steering wheel comprises a hub and the steering shaft comprises an end to be associated with the hub and provided with a circumferential groove. The attachment device comprises a locking element which is rotatably mounted on the hub. The locking element is movable between a locking position, in which it engages in the circumferential groove and forms an interlocking connection between the hub and the steering shaft, this interlocking connection being effective in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the steering shaft, and a release position where the end assigned to the hub can be withdrawn from the latter.
