Abstract (en)
[origin: DE19737744A1] The invention relates to an automobile steering assembly (1) comprising a steering wheel (4) joined to a steering column (2). The steering wheel consists of at least one steering wheel rim (9) and at least two steering wheel spokes (6) which are attached to the steering wheel. The steering column (2) is configured in one or multiple parts. In addition, the steering assembly comprises a first connecting element (3) arranged on the steering wheel (4), a second connecting element (21) arranged indirectly on the steering gear, a steering column intermediate section (10) extending between the first connecting element (3) and the second connecting element (21), and a compression device with which the distance between the steering wheel (4) and the second connecting element (21) can be decreased in an axial direction when a predetermined accident load of the steering column (2) is exceeded. According to the invention, the first connecting element (3) is a tubular locating pan which is configured with the steering wheel spokes (6)in one piece and the material comprising both element and spokes is homogenous. One advantage is that the number of parts is reduced and assembly is simplified.
