PURPOSE: To reliably and easily adjust and fix an adjustable steering column. CONSTITUTION: A rake and reach adjustable steering column 3 is secured in its desired location by means of a clamping mechanism 2. The mechanism 2 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. The body is rotatable by a handle 14 which, through the cam and roller arrangement, causes thrust washers 22 and other parts 10, 20 to clamp and release the steering column at a prescribed position. |
