An articulation device for the steering column of an automobile vehicle includes a member joined to the steering wheel of the vehicle, a member joined to the structure of the vehicle, and a single member joining and disposed between the two above mentioned members. The single member is a spherical articulation member enabling axial displacement between the two above mentioned members and providing a seal between them.

Articulation device for the steering column of an automobile vehicle

A device for coupling two shafts rotatable about a common axis comprises teeth at the end of one shaft and notches at the end of the other shaft. The teeth and the notches have conjugate profiles and inclined sides so that the teeth engage in the notches. An axial retention sleeve surrounds the ends of the two shafts and has bearing end faces substantially perpendicular to the common axis. A compression spring bears on one of the bearing end faces of the sleeve coupled axially to one of the two shafts and presses the ends of the two shafts against the other bearing end face of the sleeve.
