【発明の名称】自家用車における安全式ステアリングコラム用の固定装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3174087
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
In the described embodiments, a telescoping safety steering column is supported by two mounts and is inclined to the horizontal so that a change in distance between the steering column mounts upon collision will normally cause a change of position of the steering wheel and/or a steeper inclination of the steering column centerline. To avoid this, a rearwardly inclined control member is connected at a lower end to an inclined floorboard and at its upper end to the support for the lower part of the steering column, thereby transmitting relative rearward motion of the floorboard to the lower steering column mount and forcing the latter upward. Thus, the steering column centerline always remains at the same inclination.
