Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009072943A1] A steering wheel arrangement is disclosed which comprises a steering wheei frame (32) secured to a steering column (16) for co-rotation with the steering coiumn (16). The arrangement has a centra! non-rotating hub (43) provided within the periphery of the steering whee! frame and the steering coiumn (16) is rotatably mounted about a column axis (A) within a steering column housing (18). The housing (18) has a first fixed gear (27), and the hub (43) has a second fixed gear (40). The arrangement has a planetary gear arrangement (46) provided on the steering wheel frame (32) and which comprises a first planetary gear (47) in mesh with the first fixed gear (27) and a second planetary gear (52) arranged in mesh with the second fixed gear (40). The planetary gears are arranged for rotation relative to the steering wheel frame (32) about an axis of rotation which is inclined at an angle to the coiumn axis (24). The planetary gear arrangement (46) is configured such that rotation of one of the planetary gears imparts rotational movement to the other planetary gear. In a preferred embodiment, the two planetary gears (47, 52) are fixed to one another for co-rotation about a common axis of rotation.
