Energy absorption system for motor vehicle steering column during impacts has components and strip moved relative to each other to deform strip and absorb energy resulting from load applied between strip and components

摘要

The system has two components (11,12) connected together, and a deformable strip (10) provided between the two components. On application of a load, the components and strip are moved relative to each other to deform the strip and absorb the energy resulting from the load applied between the strip and the components.
