An adjustable steering column assembly for a motor vehicle
摘要
A steering column assembly (2) for a motor vehicle (1) is disclosed having lower and upper steering column members (10; 11) that are slidingly interengaged. The upper column member (11) is attached to a structural part (3) of the motor vehicle (1) by a ride down mechanism (4) that allows the upper steering column (11) to move in the event of a collision. A load transfer means is provided to bypass the ride down mechanism (4) when an adjustment lever (14) is moved to a position allowing the position of the upper steering column member (11) to be adjusted thereby preventing accidental damage occurring to the ride down mechanism (4) due to operator abuse.
