Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage in this case is that the transmission element and the fastening device have to be produced and assembled separately, which requires a corresponding production complexity and assembly complexity
Furthermore, the steering column disclosed therein has only one integral electrical switching contact and does not have an interface for fitting a steering axis switch
This arrangement is therefore not suitable for use in modern motor vehicles

Embodiment Construction

[0042] In the different figures, identical components are always assigned the same reference numerals and are therefore usually also described or mentioned only once.

[0043] figure 1 The steering column 1 according to the invention is shown in a perspective view inclined towards the rear end on which the steering wheel, not shown in this example, is assembled in the vehicle.

[0044] The steering column 1 can be fastened to a vehicle body, not illustrated in this example, via a holding unit 11 . The holding unit 11 has two downwardly protruding side members 12 between which an outer covering tube 14 of the actuating unit 13 is arranged. The steering shaft 15 is mounted rotatably about a longitudinal axis 16 of the steering shaft 15 in the cover tube 14 . A portion 151 for fitting a steering wheel (not shown) is formed in the region of the rear end of the steering shaft 15 .

[0045] The side members 12 can be moved from the outside by means of a clamping device having a c...

Abstract

The invention relates to a steering column (1) for a motor vehicle having a steering shaft (15) rotatably mounted in a housing unit (14) for mounting relative to the housing unit ( 14) The interface (3) of the fixed steering column switch (2), and the transmission element (4), which is connected to the steering shaft (15) in a torque-transmitting manner via a fastening device and has the ability to be installed on the interface ( At least one actuating device (41) operatively engaged by the steering column switch (2) at 3). In order to enable such a steering column for a motor vehicle to be used in such a way that the steering column can be produced and installed relatively simply and cost-effectively, the invention proposes that the transmission element (4) is connected with at least one fastening device (43 , 44, 45, 48) are formed together as one part for common rotation with the steering shaft (15) connected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steering column for a motor vehicle having a steering shaft rotatably mounted in a cover unit and an interface for fitting a steering column switch fixed relative to the cover unit and having A transmission element connected to the steering shaft by means of fastening means for torque transmission and comprising at least one actuation device movable into operative engagement with a steering column switch fitted to the interface. Background technique [0002] In a motor vehicle, the steering column is primarily used to transmit steering commands from the steering wheel fitted at the rear end of the steering shaft to the steering gear mechanism, usually with the aid of an assist coupled to enhance the manual steering torque introduced into the steering wheel The force transmits the steering command to the steering gear mechanism. Furthermore, a cover unit that allows the steering shaft to be rotatably supported at the side of ...
