Abstract
A motor vehicle steering column includes a bracket fixed to the vehicle and a steering column tube. The steering column tube may be adjusted in inclination relative to the bracket fixed to the vehicle via an adjusting device. The adjusting device includes a lever which is mounted pivotably on the bracket and may be deflected about a pivot axis by a driving device. The motor vehicle steering column may permit a maximum inclination setting irrespective of the available construction space. A deflecting clamp which is connected pivotably to the steering column tube is coupled to an output end of the lever.

A motor vehicle steering column, comprising:
- a bracket adapted to be fixed to a vehicle;
- an adjustment device including a lever mounted pivotably on the bracket, a driver device and a deflection clamp, the lever deflectable about a pivot axis by the driver device;
- and
- a steering column tube adjustable in inclination relative to the bracket by the adjustment device, the deflection clamp connected pivotably to the steering column tube and coupled to one output end of the lever;
- wherein the lever is deflectable about the pivot axis by reciprocating movement at one driving end of the lever with equalization between the movement of the driving end and the driver device.
