Abstract
A steering wheel is fastened on a steering column by a steering wheel hollow (,).

The steering wheel has travel limitation members (screw,) for the maximum possible travel of the plate (,). Release of the airbag (,) produces a free space (,) between the plate (,) and the base (,) of the steering wheel hollow (,), which free space is formed so as to receive end regions of spokes (,), which end regions are remote from a steering wheel rim (,).
