摘要 |
The steering column assembly incorporates an adjustable fluid-controlled shock absorber (3) which creates a greater or lesser resistance to relative movement between the shock absorber and the column (2) by varying fluid flow, during collapse of the column in the event of a vehicle crash, in response to an electric signal supplied by sensors sensing various sensed conditions of a driver in the vehicle. The shock absorber may be telescopic and controlled by means of a solenoid. The shock absorber may form part of the steering column and may be located between a steering wheel and a yoke (1) of the assembly. The shock absorber may be formed from a static external cylinder (4) and an internal member (l5) that rotates with the wheel.
