ABSTRACT:
A device for connecting a motor vehicle steering column to a shaft journal of a steering gear train includes a U-shaped coupling piece, the coupling piece is articulated to the steering column for pivotal movement about an axis extending transversely of a first direction of the coupling. The U-shaped coupling piece has a pair of laterally spaced sides connected together by an arch shaped bight section. The sides are spaced apart laterally transversely of the first direction. A lock bolt for retaining the shaft journal in the coupling is secured against turning in one of the sides and has a wedge-shaped surface facing into the space between the sides. The wedge-shaped surface has two bevel sections inclined inwardly into the space between the sides from diagonally opposite points on the outer circumferential periphery of the lock bolt.
