  • Collapsible steering column
    Patent number: 5829310
    Abstract: A collapsible steering column has a tubular outer steering column part and a tubular inner steering column part partially telescoped with one another. The untelescoped portion of the outer part has integral, flexibly resilient tabs extending across the inner end portion of the inner part to yieldably obstruct and retard the further telescoping of the parts and thereby absorb energy during collapse of the steering column in a frontal impact.
