ADJUSTABLE STEERING COLUMN

摘要

A clamping mechanism for an adjustable steering column for a vehicle in which antifriction elements (1) are provided which interpose between relatively sliding components (2, 3) of an adjustable steering column construction (20) each element allows sliding between limiting stops with resilient means (10) between the stops to provide a soft stop. The resilient means may be a separate member or resilient portions (10) at the ends of a slot (4) in the element. Walls of the element may have longitudinal slits to take up manufacturing tolerance.
