ADJUSTABLE STEERING SHAFT

摘要

ADJUSTABLE STEERING SHAFT The innermost of two telescoping sub-portions of the steering shaft of an adjustable-length, tiltable steering column is received within the outermost shaft sub-portion, as is a wedge plug which interacts with the innermost subportion to wedgingly lock the linkage in adjusted, telescoped postion when a threaded actuating rod is turned in one direction. The rod is interlocked with the innermost shaft subportion or the wedge plug to prevent relative axial movement between the rod and innermost shaft sub-portion or plug at least when the rod is turned in the other direction.
