Abstract
A device for adjusting the angular position of rotation of a steering wheel hub of a motor vehicle relative of a steering shaft utilizing a bushing which is located between these parts and connected to each of these by sets of teeth distributed uniformly over the inner and outer periphery of the bushing and wherein these teeth offer a large number of possibilities of angular adjustment as a result of the engagement of one set of teeth with the steering wheel hub for a coarse adjustment and as a result of the engagement of the other set of teeth with the steering shaft for an even larger possibility of minor angular adjustment.
