ELECTRONIC RELEASE MODULE LINKAGE ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLE STEERING COLUMN

摘要

An electronic release linkage assembly for a vehicle steering column includes a stationary portion of a steering column. Also included is a module mounting bracket of an electronic release module coupled to the stationary portion of the steering column. Further included is a cam bracket assembly coupled to a steering column mounting bracket, the cam bracket assembly configured to selectively apply a clamping force on the steering column upon receipt of input from the electronic release module, the cam bracket assembly comprising a lever arm rotatable about a cam axis. Yet further included is a link member coupled at a first link member end to the release module with a gear pin extending from the electronic release module, the link member coupled at a second link member end to the lever arm, the link member transferring an input from the release module to drive rotation of the lever arm.
