TELESCOPIC TRANSMISSION SHAFT WITH ANGULAR-PLAY ADJUSTMENT

摘要

The transmission shaft comprises a male part (1) and a female part (2) having corresponding splines (4, 5). One of these parts (1, 2) comprises slots (7) at its engagement end which thus has deformable sectors (6). A resilient element (8) is brought into contact with the deformable sectors (6) over their smooth face which does not have splines (4), in order to apply the splines (4) to the splines (5) when the male part (1) is engaged in the female part (2). The transmission shaft can, for example, be a steering axle of a telescopically and axially adjustable vehicle steering column.
