Position setting device for vehicle steering columns

摘要

Axial and angular position setting of a vehicle steering column is controlled by means of a single control lever (32) so as facilitate manufacture, installation and use. The control lever (32) is pivotally mounted so as to control tilting adjustment of the column via a device (30) including tooth form (33) and also to control axial adjustment through a device (40) including a taper block (70) which operates a retaining block (60) for coupling and releasing telescopically related tubes (11, 12) of the steering column. The retaining block (60) and tube (11) have co-operating tooth forms (13, 61) for this purpose. The taper block is operated through a wire cable (90). <IMAGE>
