STEERING WHEEL SHAFT FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE STEERING COLUMN

摘要

This shaft is formed by a tube in a single piece having one end portion which is enlarged and cut away so as to constitute a universal joint yoke 5. A main cylindrical body 18 having a wall of reduced thickness connects this yoke to a portion 23 of greater wall thickness and provided with two slots 22 constituting a locking keeper. At the end of the shaft opposed to the yoke there is formed a steering wheel support constituted by a portion of the tube which has a smaller diameter and a greater wall thickness.
