Abstract
A telescopic steering column for motor vehicles with a steering shaft 1, whose axial, plastic-coated teeth 1.1, which are arranged at least in some areas, engage complementary teeth 2.1 of the steering column jacket 2, which accommodates and guides the steering shaft and which is accommodated in a housing of the steering column, wherein a securing element 3 engages a recess 2.2 of the steering column jacket 2 with at least one hook-shaped claw 3.1 on one side and is supported at or in the end section of the steering column jacket 2 via a radially directed shoulder 3.2 on the other side and thus forms an axial displacement limitation of the steering shaft 1 in at least one direction.
Claims16
A telescopic steering column for motor vehicles, the telescopic steering column comprising:
- a steering shaft with axially extending plastic-coated teeth provided at least in some areas;
- a steering column jacket with complementary teeth engaging said teeth of said steering shaft, said steering column jacket accommodating and axially guiding the steering shaft and being accommodated in a housing of the steering column via bearing elements, said steering column jacket having a recess;
- a securing element engaging said recess on one side with at least one hook-shaped claw and supported on the one side in or at an end section of said steering column jacket via a radial shoulder to form an axial displacement limitation of said steering shaft in one direction and axial movement in an opposite direction.
A telescopic steering column for motor vehicles, the telescopic steering column comprising:
- a steering shaft with axially extending plastic-coated teeth provided at least in some areas;
- a steering column jacket with complementary teeth engaging said teeth of said steering shaft, said steering column jacket accommodating and guiding the steering shaft and being accommodated in a housing of the steering column via bearing elements, said steering column jacket having a recess;
- a securing element engaging said recess on one side with at least one hook-shaped claw and supported on the one side in or at an end section of said steering column jacket via a radial shoulder to form an axial displacement limitation of said steering shaft in at least one direction, said securing element having a plurality of claws arranged distributed over the circumference of the securing element and/or axially or radially offset in relation to one another.
A telescopic steering column comprising:
- a steering column jacket with a plurality of axially extending plastic-coated teeth, said steering column jacket having a recess;
- a steering shaft positioned in said steering column jacket, said steering shaft having complementary teeth engaging with said teeth of said steering column jacket and axially guiding said steering shaft in said steering column jacket;
- a securing element having a first hook-shaped claw engaging said recess on said steering column jacket, said securing element having a second hook-shaped claw positioned to limit axial movement of said steering shaft by contact with one of said teeth of said steering shaft.
