<p>STEERING COLUMN SHAFT This shaft is particularly adapted to be employed between the steering housing and an intermediate pivotal connection of the universal joint type and forms a vibration damping device. It comprises two coaxial tubes (20, 22) each of which terminates in a portion having a substantially oval section (24, 26) which are fitted one inside the other, an elastically yieldable sleeve (28) being interposed therebetween. The larger dimension of the inner tube (24) is greater than the smaller dimension of the outer tube (26) so that only small relative angular movements are possible and that the transmission of the movements-effected by the steering wheel is ensured. The sleeve (28) allows an axial movement between the inner and outer tubes.</p> |
