Steering shaft coupling

摘要

A steering shaft coupling for a motor vehicle steering column constructed to join a steering shaft with a steering gear. The coupling has a pair of coupling parts and interconnecting members assembled to transmit driving torque from the steering shaft to the steering gear during normal operating conditions. The interconnecting members disengage the coupling parts when the steering gear is displaced axial toward the steering shaft in response to an axial force whereby said axial force will not be transmitted to the steering shaft.
