Device for Limiting Rotation of a Vehicle Steering Shaft

A device, comprising:

• a steering shaft (3) of a vehicle;
• an outer tube (2) surrounding the steering shaft (3);
• stops (27, 28) fixed in the outer tube (2), the steering shaft (3) extending through the stops (27, 28);
• a grooved sleeve (5) including a helical groove (12), the grooved sleeve (5) being connected to the steering shaft (3) so as to be rotationally fixed and axially displaceable;
• counter-stops (20, 21) formed on the grooved sleeve (5), the counter-stops (20, 21) being configured to come into contact with the stops (27, 28) when the steering shaft (3) reaches a rotational end position;
• and
• an engagement element (15) fixed to the outer tube (2) and engaging the helical groove (12),
• wherein rotation of the steering shaft relative to the outer tube is limited by the stops (27, 28) coming into contact with the counter-stops (20, 21).
