Telescopic steering shaft with a pull-out safeguard

A steering shaft for a motor vehicle, comprising:

• an outer shaft, and
• an inner shaft disposed in the outer shaft in a torque-locking and axially displaceable manner, the inner shaft having an axial inner stop that projects radially outwards from an outer face of the inner shaft and which, when the inner shaft is pulled out of the outer shaft, is positioned to strike against an axial outer stop that projects radially inwards from an inner face of the outer shaft to delimit the travel of the inner shaft in the outer shaft in a pull-out direction,
• wherein the axial outer stop is disposed at a front face and an outer periphery of the outer shaft,
• wherein at the axial outer stop the front face of the outer shaft is disposed at an angle of at least 20° but less than 80° relative to a radial direction of the outer shaft.

A steering shaft comprising:

• an outer shaft;
• an inner shaft disposed in the outer shaft in a torque-locking and axially displaceable manner, the inner shaft having an axial inner stop that projects radially outwards from an outer face of the inner shaft and which, when the inner shaft is pulled out of the outer shaft, is positioned to strike against an axial outer stop that projects radially inwards from an inner face of the outer shaft to delimit the travel of the inner shaft in the outer shaft in a pull-out direction;
• and
• an overmolding comprised of plastic disposed on an outer surface of the inner shaft, wherein the overmolding cooperates with a longitudinal toothing of the outer shaft,
• wherein on an outer periphery of the outer shaft the axial outer stop projects away from a longitudinal axis of the outer shaft such that two surfaces of the axial outer stop form an acute angle relative to one another.
