ABSTRACT:
A steering wheel assembly for a machine or a vehicle includes a steering wheel and a pommel mounted on the steering wheel for rotation about an axis extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the steering wheel to facilitate one-handed rotation of the steering wheel. The pommel carries control switches to control functions of the machine or vehicle in particular to allow shuttling between forward and reverse drive. A mechanism is connected to the pommel to rotate the pommel relative to the steering wheel in synchronism with the rotation of the steering wheel about its axis in such a manner as to maintain the same orientation of the pommel in all positions of the steering wheel.
