A telescoping steering column includes a plurality of telescoping segments with adjacent segments axially offset from each other. Spacers maintain the segments in position. Cable and pulley systems on each of the segments, except the innermost segment, interconnect the segments and cause them to uniformly extend and retract as the column is raised or lowered. The pulleys protrude through the segment walls. Pulleys on adjacent segments are oriented on opposite sides of the column, to provide a compact column which operates smoothly and quietly. |
