Clamping mechanism for detachable fixing of steering column of motor vehicle, has level mechanism with high clamping range and low clamping force, and another level mechanism with low clamping range and high clamping force

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The clamping mechanism has an operating lever (1) for clamping or releasing the position of a steering column. The clamping unit provides a retention force for interlocking of a movable steering column housing with the steering column and an autobody-sided brake arm. The clamping unit has a clamping level mechanism with a high clamping range and a low clamping force, and another clamping level mechanism with a low clamping range and a high clamping force. The latter level mechanism follows the former level mechanism in a clamping movement direction of the lever. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Clamping mechanism for detachable fixing of a steering column of a motor vehicle, where the steering column is adjustable in inclination and length. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The clamping mechanism can be manufactured and assembled in a simple and cost-effective manner, using a less number of components. The clamping mechanism has a constructive design, improved durability and secure overall function for different operating conditions. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of a clamping mechanism in a dismantled position. 1 : Operating lever 2 : Shaft 3 : Jockey pulley 4 : Clamping disk 5 : Synchronizer ring.
