摘要

A power tilt, telescoping and internally collapsible steering column assembly (10) is provided. The assembly comprises a main housing (12), a telescope housing (26), and a tilt head (70). The telescope housing (26) and tilt head (70) are driven by a pair of torsionally rigid axially flexible cables (46,64) extending generally along the steering column. The cable is adapted by its axial flexibility to axially flex to accommodate the collapse of the telescope housing (26) with respect to the main housing (12).
