Steering wheel arrangement for motor vehicles, comprising a steering wheel (1) with an air bag device (10). The steering wheel has a two-part steering shaft (7), which is mounted in a tubular bearing housing (22) with a corrugated deformation zone (25). The bearing housing has upper and lower mountings in the vehicle (23, 24), of which the upper mounting is designed less robustly than the lower mounting. Upon steering wheel impact of a certain force, the upper mounting breaks off and the tube can then be compressed for energy absorption. The tube serves as an energy absorber in order to complement the energy absorption of the air bag if necessary. |
