摘要： An apparatus and method for attaching as well as removing a steering wheel to and from a steering shaft. The steering wheel includes a pair of threadably mated, first and second securement members which are movable relative to one another. One of the securement members is received within a preformed, keyed slot on the top of the steering shaft. When the securement members are tighten the second securement member is moved into the slot thereby securing the steering, wheel to the steering shaft. The apparatus further includes a movable wedge which is positionable between the top of the steering shaft and a part of the steering wheel. Inward movement of the wedge urges the steering wheel and the steering shaft apart facilitating separation and removal.

摘要： An attachment arrangement includes an air bag module (12) having an engagement member (14), a receiver (16), and a fastener (18). The receiver is located within a vehicle component such as a steering wheel in which the mounting of an air bag is desired. The engagement member (14) extends from the module (12) and fits within the receiver (16) such that a groove (38) in the engagement member is engageable by the fastener (18). The fastener (18) preferably includes a pair of substantially parallel wires (38) which form a first substantially annular segment (40) and a locking segment (44). The first annular segment (40) is proportioned to receive the engagement member (14). The locking segment (44) is sized to engage the groove (38). The fastener (18) slidably engages and disengages the engagement member (14) to lock and unlock the module (12) in response to sliding the fastener (18) relative to the retainer (16).

摘要： A unique and simple method for attaching a steering wheel to a steering shaft includes a pair of securement members. The steering shaft is provided with a slot extending into an enlarged space. The first securement member extends across a bore in the steering wheel, and is threadably received in the second securement member. The steering wheel can be moved onto the steering shaft with the first securement member moving through the slot and into the space. The first securement member can then draw the second securement member into the space. Preferably, there is a tapered interface between the second securement member, the steering wheel, and the steering shaft. The tapered surface drives the steering wheel downwardly onto the steering shaft such that a wedge-lock is provided. In a further feature of this invention, an outer housing surrounds the steering shaft. The outer housing has a pair of spaced slots. The spaced slots selectively provide access to the securement members such that the steering wheel may be removable from the steering shaft, when desired. However, when the steering shaft is locked, the slots are not aligned with the securement members. This will deter theft of the steering wheel assembly. The present invention is particularly useful for modular steering wheel assemblies which incorporate an air bag into the steering wheel.
