Steering column bracket and lower bay crosspiece connecting device for use in motor vehicle, has bent rods deformed under effect of frontal impact along two different directions perpendicular to longitudinal direction of vehicle

摘要

The device (18) has a reinforcement plate (53) connecting a steering column bracket (17) to a lower bay crosspiece (25) and deformed during a displacement of the crosspiece towards the bracket in case of a frontal impact against a motor vehicle. Bent rods (51) are deformed under the effect of the frontal impact along two different directions perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
