摘要： A steering column assembly comprising an elongate upper column member for connection with a steering wheel and an elongate lower column member for connection with a steering box. One member is telescopically received within the other for sliding movement between operative and inoperative positions. The outer member has a first length of its internal surface adjacent the received end of the inner member when in said operative position that is dimensioned to fit closely on the inner member. The outer member has a second length extending from its first length toward its receiving end which is of greater internal dimension than said first length to provide a clearance.

摘要： A steering wheel assembly comprising a wheel rim and a tubular member for use as at least a part of a steering column. The tubular member has its longitudinal axis aligned with the center of the wheel rim. A plurality of spokes each has a first portion extending from the rim transversely of the tubular member axis to a location adjacent the axis and a second portion extending parallel to the axis. The second portions are secured within the tubular members. The effect is that the upper steering shaft or tubular member is permanently fixed to the steering wheel resulting in reduced manufacturing cost and reduced assembly time.

摘要翻译： 一种方向盘组件，包括轮辋和用作转向柱的至少一部分的管状构件。 管状构件的纵向轴线与轮缘的中心对准。 多个辐条各自具有从边缘横向于管状构件轴线延伸到邻近轴线的位置的第一部分和平行于该轴线延伸的第二部分。 第二部分固定在管状构件内。 效果是上转向轴或管状构件永久地固定到方向盘，导致制造成本降低并且缩短了装配时间。
