pinned (at 34) with respect to an extension (15) of the steering column (13), between a support
(18) for a steering bar (19) and an extension (15) of the steering column (13), which provides for
certain devices (14, 16, 17, 20) allowing a predetermined rotation of the support (18) for the
steering for the steering bar (19) with respect to the extension (15) of the steering column (13) in a
plane essentially corresponding to the direction of forward motion of the vehicle. In particular,
thers devices comprise on one hand a toothed sector (14) and on the other hand a worm screw (16)
engaging with each other and fermly attached, one to the extension (15) and the other to the
support (18) for the steering bar (19). The device also provides for a hand–wheel (20) to allow a
