Steering column

摘要

A steering column (10) has a first steering column member (12) movable axially relative to a second steering column member (14). A member (58) having a plurality of teeth (126) is connected to the first steering column member (12) and movable with the first steering column member (12) relative to the second steering column member (14). A support (68) connects the steering column (10) to a vehicle frame. A clamping member (178) has a first position in which the clamping member (178) clamps the member (58) connected to the first steering column member (12) to the support (68) to prevent the first steering column member (12) from moving relative to the second steering column member (14). The clamping member (178) has a second position in which the clamping member (178) permits the first steering column member (12) to move relative to the second steering column member (14). A telescope locking member (120) has a first position in which the telescope locking member (120) engages the plurality of teeth (126) on the member (58) connected to the first steering column member (12) to prevent movement of the first steering column member (12) relative to the second steering column member (14). The telescope locking member (120) has a second position in which the telescope locking member (120) is disengaged from the plurality of teeth (126) on the member (58) connected to the first steering column member (12) to permit axial movement of the first steering column member (12) relative to the second steering column member (14).
