Steering column energy absorbing device meshing plate

Meshing plate of a steering column energy absorbing device, comprising a base plate comprising a row of first meshing shapes enabling meshing of other meshing shapes with these first meshing shapes, the row of first meshing shapes extending along a longitudinal axis, the meshing plate being characterized in that it further comprises lateral protrusions projecting from either side of the base plate and its longitudinal axis, these lateral protrusions being overmoulded onto said base plate in such a manner that each of these lateral protrusions has a rear abutment surface and/or a lateral bearing surface relative to the longitudinal axis.
