REIBUNGSARMES ELEMENT FÜR DEN EINSATZ ZWISCHEN RELATIV ZUEINANDER VERSCHIEBBAREN KOMPONENTEN EINER VERSTELLBAREN LENKSÄULE

摘要

An antifriction element for use between two relatively sliding metal components of an adjustable steering column is locatable between the two components and is formed such that, in an unclamped state of the components, two opposed resilient angled flanges act to urge the components away from contact with one another to allow relative free sliding of the components on the element, which is of plastics material, and, in a clamped state of the components, the flanges are deflected to allow direct contact between surfaces of the metal components to provide the clamping friction.
