Problems solved by technology

In the case of said form-fit connections, there is the problem that the parts involved in the form-fit also deform plastically each time the steering column is locked
A disadvantage of the described force fit connection is that in order to provide a force fit, one or more parts of the bracket always have to be of elastic form

Embodiment Construction

[0047] Hereinafter, preferred exemplary embodiments will be described based on the drawings. Here, the same or similar elements or elements acting in the same way are designated by the same reference numerals. In order to avoid redundancy, repeated descriptions of the elements will be partially omitted in the following description.

[0048] figure 1 with 2 A schematic perspective view of the steering column 1 is shown. The steering column 1 comprises a steering shaft 10 which is rotatably mounted in the guide box 2 in a manner known per se. On one end of the steering shaft 10 is arranged a steering wheel connector 12 for connecting the steering shaft 10 to a steering wheel (not shown here).

[0049] The guide box 2 is adjustably connected to a bracket 6 connected in a manner known per se to the chassis of the motor vehicle. Here, the bracket 6 comprises fastening lugs 68 for connection to the chassis of the motor vehicle.

Abstract

A steering column for a motor vehicle may include a guide box that accommodates a steering spindle, a bracket for holding the guide box in adjustable fashion on a chassis of the motor vehicle, and a thrust piece through which a clamping shaft extends to fix the guide box relative to the bracket. The thrust piece may be arranged on an outer side of a first side web of the bracket, and the thrust piece may include a dome that extends through a slot of the first side web and serves to generate a force-fitting connection to the guide box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steering column for a motor vehicle, the steering column comprising a steering box for receiving the steering shaft and a bracket for holding the steering box in an adjustable manner on the chassis of the motor vehicle, the The steering column comprises at least one thrust piece through which the clamping shaft extends and which serves to fix the guide box relative to the bracket, the at least one thrust piece being arranged on the outside of the side web of the bracket. Background technique [0002] In order to adapt the position of the steering wheel in a motor vehicle to the different ergonomic requirements of different users, the steering column is designed to be adjustable. Generally, an adjustable steering column may be adjustable both in the vertical direction and in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. Here, a distinction can be made between a locked setting of the steering column for normal operation of ...
