Device for preventing rotation of steering column body of an automobile vehicle

摘要

A device for preventing rotation of the steering column body of an automobile vehicle comprising a support member attached to the chassis of the vehicle and a body which is held in position relative to the support member by a locking system. For the adjustment of the steering column concerned in the required direction at least one pair of coupling surfaces is joined to the support member and cooperate with a pair of coupling surfaces joined to the body. The coupling surfaces have a direction substantially parallel to the required adjustment direction and are angularly oriented with respect to major faces of the support member and the body, so that the coupling surfaces cooperate with each other upon locking in order to prevent rotation of the steering column body.
