Operating device for locking mechanism of adjustable vehicle steering column, has handle provided with coupling portion, which is connected with another coupling portion of positioning device over positive connection

摘要

The device (20) has a handle (40) i.e. plastic lever, provided with a coupling portion (40a), which is connected with another coupling portion (30a) of a positioning device (30) over a positive connection i.e. projection recess connection, so that the positioning device is movably actuated over the handle. The positive connection is formed such that a material structure of the former coupling portion is changed when exceeding a limiting torque conditions, so that the former coupling portion is moved relative to the latter coupling portion.
