ABSTRACT:
A device for fastening a steering wheel to a steering column, transmitting both torque and axial forces without play, whereby the end of the column and the hub of the wheel are designed to ensure form-fit transmission of torque at the site of their engagement. The device has a groove-like depression around the site of engagement on the column, the site of engagement on the hub comprises a stationary component and a component that pivots around it on an axis that parallels the axis of the column, the stationary component can be attached form-fit to the column, an elevation on the pivoting component that matches the groove-like depression and extends along at least part of it, and the pivoting component can be pivoted in two directions by a nut-and-bolt assembly installed axially non-displaceable in both the stationary component and the pivoting component, engaging and disengaging the elevation with the depression.
