ABSTRACT:
A steering wheel of the stationary pad type includes a steering shaft carrying thereon a boss plate, a first sun gear secured to a column and a second sun gear secured to a pad. At least one planetary shaft is rotatably supported on the boss plate, and has one end on which a first planetary gear meshing with the first sun gear is supported, while a second planetary gear meshing with the second sun gear is supported on the other end of the planetary shaft. The first and second planetary gears are normally held by a resilient device in intimate engagement with the first and second sun gears, respectively, but displaceable therefrom in the event foreign matter is caught between the planetary and sun gears.
