The invention relates to a connection between a steering mechanism and a steering column (1) of a motor vehicle steering system. The connection comprises a steering coupling (2) which connects these two components, is attached by on e end (3) to the steering mechanism or to the steering column (1) and, at the other end (4), bears a coupling piece (5) in an articulated manner. The latter forms a connecting partner with the other component (1) in each case and has two clamping jaws (6, 7) which, aft er the coupling piece (5) has been pivoted around the axis of articulation (8), engage around a section (9) of the other component (1). Furthermore, the connection comprise s a clamping screw which is inserted into two openings (19) formed in the clamping jaws ( 6, 7) and aligned with each other, and is screwed into a thread (20) in such a manner that the section (9) which is engaged around is secured by the clamping jaws (6, 7). In order to make it possible in a simple manner to produce the connection with the connecting partners (1, 5) aligned axially, it is proposed that at least one bolt (14) is arranged on t he coupling piece (5) or on its connecting partner (1), to which the coupling piece (5) is connected with clamping action, the bolt engaging, in a connecting position, in a groove (1 5) of the other connecting partner (1, 5) in each case, the groove (15) having an end sectio n (17) which, with respect to the axial extent of the connecting partner (1, 5) bearing th e groove, runs perpendicularly in the vertical direction and in which the bolt (14) has its end position, and that the groove (15) is open in the vertical direction at the end (18) remot e from the end position. |
