Abstract
A vehicle steering device (10) includes a steering wheel part which is non-rotatably coupled to a steering column (18) and a central part which is stationary with respect to a rotation of the steering wheel part. The vehicle steering device (10) further includes a gear unit (24) which converts a rotation of the steering wheel part in a first direction into a corresponding rotation of the central part in a second direction opposed to the first direction. The vehicle steering device (10) further includes a helically coiled spring (30) which carries leads for the electrical connection of functional units which are arranged on the central part.
