Steering column having manual lever for controlling turn signal and headlamp dimmer switches

摘要

An adjustable steering column having a compact head is selectively tiltable with respect to an axis transverse of the column to suit the vehicle operator's requirements. The tilt head houses a manual lever movable in a first direction with respect to the head in any tilt position to actuate a vehicle turn signal switch mechanism within the head. The lever is further manually movable in a second direction with respect to the head in any tilt position or turn signal condition, to actuate a headlamp dimmer switch on the column remote from the head.
