Collapsible steering shaft apparatus |
摘要 |
A steering shaft is rotatably mounted within a steering column housing and is formed of two telescopingly engaged steering shaft members. A portion of one of the steering shaft members is deformed into a notch formed at one end of the other steering shaft member to mechanically and non-separably interconnect the two shaft members together during normal operating conditions, and allowing separation and telescoping collapse of the steering shaft members under axial force on the steering column shaft. A longitudinally extending projection is formed in the outer steering shaft members and engages the inner disposed steering shaft member to rigidly interconnect the two steering shaft members.
