ABSTRACT:
A steering wheel arrangement for motor vehicles with a dish-shaped steering wheel provided with a steering wheel hub which is adapted to be flangedly connected on a central steering spindle rotatably supported in a casing, and with an impact device arranged inside of the steering wheel dish which maintains its position independently of the rotation of a steering wheel rim, whereby a gearing in the form of a pinion shaft is provided which is supported parallel to the steering spindle and has two identical pinions non-rotatably arranged on the same; the pinions are in engagement with gears coaxially supported with respect to the steering spindle, of which the first gear is arranged on the side of the steering column casing and the second gear on the side of the impact device. The first gear is thereby rotatably supported on the casing and is non-rotatably connected with the steering wheel rim while the second gear is attached safe against rotation on an end section of the steering spindle and a support flange fixed at the casing protrudes between the two gears whereby the pinion shaft is supported in the support flange and the impact device is locally secured at the same.
