STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY HAVING AN ENERGY ABSORPTION ASSEMBLY

摘要

An energy absorption assembly includes a first energy absorption strap and a second energy absorption strap. The first energy absorption strap is coupled to a lower jacket assembly and is coupled to an upper jacket assembly. The energy absorption strap defines a first opening and a second opening. The second energy absorption strap is disposed about the first energy absorption strap. The second energy absorption strap is coupled to the first energy absorption strap. The second energy absorption strap defines a third opening proximately aligned with the second opening.

主权项

1. A steering column assembly, comprising:
a jacket assembly; and an energy absorption assembly disposed on the jacket assembly, the energy absorption assembly including:
a first energy absorption strap having a first strap body extending between a first energy absorption strap first end coupled to the jacket assembly and a first energy absorption strap second end selectively coupled to the jacket assembly;a second energy absorption strap at least partially disposed about the first energy absorption strap, the second energy absorption strap having a second strap body extending between a second energy absorption strap first end coupled to the jacket assembly and a second energy absorption strap second end; andan actuator selectively connected to the first energy absorption strap.
