DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING THE ANGULAR POSITION OF A STEERING WHEEL ON A MOTOR VEHICLE STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING WHEEL PROVIDED WITH SAID DEVICE Device for a steering wheel having a hub (2) with an axial bore (3) having a portion (4) defining a frustoconical surface adapted to cooperate with a portion (5) of the column (1) of complementary shape and first means (6) forming splines arranged angularly in accordance with a given pitch. Means (7) are provided for clamping the hub (2) to the column (1). The column is in the form of a tube in which is disposed an intermediate member (8) including a portion (9) defining a frustoconical surface adapted to cooperate with a portion (10) of the inner surface of the column having a complementary shape and a complementary means (13) is adapted to cooperate with said first means (6) forming splines of the hub (2) for preventing rotation between the hub and the intermediate member . The clamping means are constituted by means for clamping the hub (2) and the intermediate member (8) in such manner as to jam the column (1) between the hub and the intermediate member (8) and thus lock the steering wheel in the desired position of adjustment of the steering wheel on the column.
