Problems solved by technology

However, its installation is more complicated, and its rearward open protective sleeve provides only limited protection for the steering shaft and limited protection from the steering shaft
Furthermore, friction between the connecting device at the end of the protective sleeve facing away from the fastening device and the drive-side part of the steering shaft jeopardizes the reliable functioning of so-called vehicle dynamic systems

Embodiment Construction

[0032] exist figure 1 The protective covering device 1 shown in includes a protective sheath 2 and fixing elements 3 to 5, wherein the fixing device 5 shown in dashed lines is optional. The entire protective cover 1 is produced in a molding tool as a one-piece molded body 6 made of plastic. The protective sheath 2 is partially tubular. That is to say that the protective sleeve 2 does not extend over the entire 360° around the pipe axis 7 which is bent or bent here, but here only extends around the pipe axis 7 over approximately 180°. The protective sleeve 2 serves to cover the steering shaft of the motor vehicle, where it extends along the tube axis 7 through the footwell of the motor vehicle. In this case, the rear ends 8 and 9 of the protective sleeve 2 in the circumferential direction about the pipe axis 7 bear against the motor vehicle components delimiting the footwell, and the protective sleeve 2 is secured against rotation by means of the fastening devices 3 to 5 . F...

Abstract

A protective cover (1) for a steering shaft of a motor vehicle running through a footwell (13) of the motor vehicle comprises a protective sleeve (2) covering the steering shaft towards the footwell and being open at a back side facing away from the footwell (13), and securing devices (3-5) for supporting the protective sleeve (2) at a main body (10) of a pedal unit located in front of the footwell in a rotatably fixed way. In circumferential direction around the steering shaft, the protective sleeve (2) at its two back end parts (8, 9) is configured for abutting against the main body (10) oranother motor vehicle part delimiting the footwell (13) towards the front of the motor vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a protective covering for a steering shaft extending through a footwell of a motor vehicle. [0002] Such a protective covering of the steering column shields the steering shaft, which rotates when the vehicle is turned, from the adjacent footwell in order to protect the driver of the motor vehicle from contact with the steering shaft and thus from possible attendant injuries and contamination. This protection is particularly important when the steering shaft has a swivel joint in the area of ​​the footwell. Conversely, such a swivel joint is also protected by the protective cover from contamination or damage impairing its function. [0003] Furthermore, the invention relates to a pedal mechanism unit of a motor vehicle and a motor vehicle. Background technique [0004] A bellows is known from DE 10 2004 008 505 A1 as a protective cover for a swivel joint of a steering shaft. Before its assembly, the bellows must be fitted o...
