Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 An axial sectional view of a steering column 10 , a cover 11 and an instrument panel 12 of a motor vehicle (not shown) is shown. The cover 11 comprises a housing 14 at least partially surrounding the steering column 10 and having a recess 13 formed in a lower skirt 15 . Steering column 10 includes a fixed portion 16 and a movable portion 18 slidably mounted within fixed portion 16 , to which housing 14 is fastened. This movable part 18 terminates in a not shown steering wheel located in the passenger compartment. A fixed portion 16 is mounted in a fixed position throughout the instrument panel 12 to connect a not shown steering member of the vehicle's front driveline. It is thus possible to adjust the position of the movable part 18 relative to the fixed part 16 in the longitudinal direction D of the steering column 10 and thus the position of the steering wheel in the passenger compartment. Means, not shown, for immobilizing the movable part 18 relative to ...

Abstract

The invention concerns a cover for a motor vehicle steering column (10), said motor vehicle comprising an instrument panel (12), said steering column (10) comprising a fixed portion (16) and a mobile portion (18), said fixed portion (16) being mounted in fixed position through said instrument panel (12), while said mobile part (18) is mounted sliding on the fixed part (16), said cover including ashell (14) for covering the steering column (10), said shell being adapted to be mounted secured in translation to the mobile portion (18), said cover further comprising means for guiding in translation (22, 24). The invention is characterized in that said guiding means (22, 24) are adapted to be installed between said fixed portion (16) and said shell (14) to guide said shell (14) in translationrelative to said fixed portion (16).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cover for a steering column of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Known covers already cover the steering column by means of a housing with two parts movable relative to each other. [0003] Motor vehicles generally comprise an axle unit with steered wheels separate from the passenger compartment, and an instrument panel located within the passenger compartment. They are provided with a steering column, the fixed part of which passes through the dashboard in order to connect the axle unit, and more precisely the steering member of the motor vehicle, the movable part of which, provided with the steering wheels, is slidingly mounted In this fixed part, in order to be able to adjust the position of the steering wheel in the passenger compartment. [0004] The housing serves to conceal the steering column and other control components of the vehicle, and most importantly the junction between the two steering column s...
