Einspannmechanismus für eine Lenksäule.

摘要

A rake and reach adjustable steering column (1) is secured in its desired location by means of a clamping mechanism (2). The clamping mechanism includes a cam (10) on camming surfaces on which rollers (11) held in a body (13) freely run. A bolt (15) extends from the cam and roller arrangement through a mounting bracket (6) for the steering column and through a member (16) fixed to the steering column (3). The body (13) is rotatable by a handle (14) which, through the cam and roller arrangement, causes thrust washers (22) and other parts (10, 20) to release and clamp the steering column in position.
