Abstract: This steering assembly for a motor vehicle comprises a steering shaft, a steering wheel (3) and a fixed central pad (4). The pad comprises at least one button (50, 51) for operating an item of equipment of the vehicle. The button is moveable in rocking in a first direction (60, 65) towards a first active operating position, and in a second direction (61, 66) towards a second active operating position. The pad comprises a radial projection (35) on at least one of its lateral sides and in which the button lies flush. The projection is far enough away from a geometric envelope of revolution defined by the rotation of the spokes (7) of the steering wheel and containing the rim (5) of the steering wheel that it allows the button, in any one of its positions, to be pushed in the first direction (60, 65) by the thumb of one hand of a driver holding a portion of the rim, and pushed in the second direction (61, 66) by the index finger and/or the middle finger of the same hand holding the same portion of the rim.

Abstract: A device for attaching a shoe to a bicycle pedal comprises a plate (23), adapted for mounting onto a sole of the shoe, and a pedal body (1). The pedal body has first and second stepping surfaces (A, B) on opposing sides and front and rear anchor members (5A, 5B, 31A, 31B) adapted to cooperate with front and rear portions of the plate. The rear anchor members each have a lever that is pivotable about a transverse axis between an anchor position, where the rear anchor members are configured to affix the plate to the stepping surfaces, and a release position, where the rear anchor members are configured to release the plate. A common return device (55) creates a single, adjustable biasing force to bias both levers into the anchor position.

Abstract: A cycle pedal arrangement comprises a cycle pedal and an associated shoe. In this arrangement the shoe has a contour in at least a region of its sole which is matched to at least one essentially complementary contour formed in a region of the cycle pedal and cooperates with the latter in at least a force transmitting manner.
