Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 1 A perspective side view of a steering system 1 according to the invention on a vehicle carrier 2 is shown. In this embodiment, the vehicle carrier 2 is designed as a vehicle cross member. The steering device 1 has a fastening device 3 by means of which the steering device 1 is fastened to the vehicle carrier 2 . The steering device 1 also has a bracket 4 . The bracket 4 is connected to the fastening device 3 . In this case, the bracket 4 holds a steering column 5 of the steering device 1 . A steering wheel 6 (shown only schematically here) can be arranged at the free end of the steering column 5 .

[0036] In this exemplary embodiment, the steering system 1 has an adjusting mechanism 7 . The adjusting mechanism 7 includes in particular a joystick 8 . By means of the adjusting mechanism 7 the steering column 5 and thus the steering wheel 6 can be adjusted in terms of its inclination and / or height. Furthermore, the length of the steering column 5 can be ad...

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a steering apparatus (1, 31) for a vehicle having an impact absorption device (9) for absorbing an impact force introduced via a steering wheel (6). The steering apparatus has a fastening device (3, 32) for fastening to a vehicle carrier (2) or a vehicle body. The fastening device has a bracket (4, 33) for holding a steering column (5). The bracket (4, 33) has at least one connecting portion (13) for connecting to the fastening device (3, 32) by a fastening element. At least one target breaking portion (20) is designed to break starting from a predetermined impact force. In order to simplify the construction and / or to be able to realize production more economically, and the steering apparatus (1, 31) is characterized in that the bracket (4, 33) has and / or forms the target breaking portion (20), with the connecting portion (20) being separated from the bracket (4, 33) after breaking the target breaking portion and remaining on the fastening device (3, 32).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steering device for a vehicle having a shock absorbing device for absorbing shock forces introduced via a steering wheel, the steering device having a fastening device for fastening to a vehicle carrier or body, There is a bracket for holding the steering column, the bracket having at least one connecting portion for connecting to the fastening means by fastening means, wherein at least one target breaking portion is designed to break from a predetermined impact force. Background technique [0002] There are holes, which merge into one another in the assembled state and are cast with plastic material. By means of these pins of plastics material thus formed, the bracket is held on the fastening means in normal use. In an accident situation that deviates from normal use, the driver of the vehicle may hit the steering wheel, in particular the triggered airbag on the steering wheel. In the event of a sufficiently large impact f...
