A positioning device for a telescoping steering column includes a steering shaft having an upper steering shaft section disposed slidably on a lower steering shaft section and a lower steering shaft housing disposed around the lower steerin g shaft, an upper steering shaft housing disposed slidably on the lower steering shaft housing substantially parallel to an axis of rotation of the steering shaft, the upp er steering shaft housing disposed fixedly around the upper steering shaft, a lower housing plate disposed fixedly on the lower housing, a slider plate corresponding to the lower housing plate disposed fixedly on the upper housing, an anti-friction element dispos ed movably between the lower housing plate and the slider plate, and a positioning rib disposed fixedly in the slider plate or the lower housing plate substantially normal to the axis to limit a translation of the anti-friction element when the steering column is telescoped. |
