Telescoping column having rake spring assist |
摘要 |
A steering column assembly for a vehicle includes a steering column for operatively mounting a hand controller used for controlling the steering of the vehicle. A support member is disposed adjacent the steering column and is coupled thereto by a rake pivot connection which enables the steering column to pivot about an axis of the rake pivot connection relative to the support member along a rake adjustment path for adjusting a rake position of the steering column. A torsion spring is disposed about the axis between the steering column and the support member to provide a constant spring bias force therebetween. The torsion spring preferably provides near-equilibrium support of the column through its full rake adjust travel. The torsion spring further is readily adaptable to telescopic-type columns and does not interfere with the telescopic adjustment.
