VEHICLE STEERING COLUMN, BUILT WITH TELESCOPIC TUBES, PREFERABLY MANUALLY ADJUSTABLE IN LENGTH

摘要

2.1 The object of the invention is to design a vehicle steering column with an inner tube provided with at least one cast or moulded-on sliding bush of plastic or metal and an outer tube with prefabricated sliding surfaces so that the clearance between the outer tube and the inner tube in the area of the sliding surfaces can be achieved without the use of a pretensioning force produced by a torsion bar. …2.2 According to the invention this object is achieved in that between the outer tube (3) and the inner tube (4) or between the outer tube (3) and the sliding bush (5) of the inner tube (4) two wedges (8, 9) are supported by means of an intermediate spring (11) so that they can be displaced on two inclined planes (6, 7) transversely to the steering column axis (10). …2.3 The sphere of application is motor vehicles. ……
