Abdeckeinheit für Lenksäulendurchführung durch eine Kraftfahrzeug-Trennwand

摘要

A cover unit for the sealed passage of a steering column (8) through the dividing wall (3) between the driver's cab (4) and front-wheel steering (5) of a motor vehicle consists of a cover plate (1) which can be positioned on the rear of the cab and has a sealing sleeve (6) which is directed towards the driver's cab (4) and can be fitted over the steering column (8) with a small degree of play and a counterplate (2) which can be mounted from the cab side and has an attachment ring (11) which can be pushed onto the sealing sleeve (6). The said attachment ring (11) is provided at the front edge with inwardly protruding locking teeth (12) which are capable of springing up and can be anchored in locking rings (13) on the sealing sleeve (6) which correspondingly protrude outwards. The sealing sleeve (6) has towards the front-wheel steering (5) an outwardly offset annular face (9) which can be supported on a corresponding collar face (10) on the steering column (8). This permits the advantage during mounting that the cover plate (1) is supported on the steering column (8). If the steering column (8) is then positioned together with the cover plate (1) in the through-hole (16) of the dividing wall (3), the counter plate (2) can be connected effortlessly to the coverplate (1) from the driver's cab (4) by a fitter and the through-hole (16) can thus be sealed.
