Embodiment Construction

[0060] exist figure 1 A perspective view of a steering column with bushing 1 and inner bushing 2 is shown in . In this case, the bushing 1 can also be referred to as an outer bushing. The inner sleeve 2 carries in its interior an upper steering column shaft 3 , which is mounted rotatably about a longitudinal axis 5 in a roller bearing 4 . The longitudinal axis 5 defines the axial direction of the steering column arrangement in which the inner sleeve 2 is telescopically displaceable relative to the sleeve 1 .

[0061] The outer sleeve 1 is held in a bracket 6 provided with cutouts 7 for fixing the bracket 6 to the vehicle body. The support 6 has two side walls 4 and a further tensioning device 8 which passes through the support 6 transversely to the longitudinal axis 5 and which enables a height adjustment of the outer sleeve 1 relative to the support 6 and Axial adjustment of the inner sleeve 2 relative to the outer sleeve 1 . For this purpose, the bracket 6 is provided wi...

Abstract

The invention relates to a steering column, comprising a jacket tube (1), a steering spindle (3, 11), which is supported in the jacket tube (1) in such a way that the steering spindle can be rotated about a longitudinal axis (5), fastening elements for fastening the steering column to a vehicle body, and a pivot bearing for the height adjustment of the steering column, wherein the pivot bearing is provided on a region of the steering column that is remote from the steering wheel, wherein the pivot bearing is arranged or formed in a supporting element, which is permanently fastened to the jacket tube (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steering column having the features stated in the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] In a vehicle, the steering column serves multiple functions. On the one hand, the steering column is used to fasten the steering wheel on the vehicle body and to support the steering shaft or steering column shaft. The steering column is also used to fasten accessories such as anti-theft devices, or to fasten operating elements. The steering column can also be partially adjusted axially and vertically mechanically or electrically in order to be able to adjust the position of the steering wheel to the position desired by the driver. Finally, the steering column should also sink in a controlled manner when the vehicle hits an obstacle in order to absorb the impact energy transmitted by the driver to the steering wheel and thereby avoid the risk of injury to the driver. Among all the requirements, it is especially desirable t...
