Patent number: 11236784Abstract: A steering shaft for a motor vehicle includes a hollow outer shaft with a longitudinal axis. An inner shaft is arranged coaxially within the outer shaft. The inner shaft telescopes longitudinally relative to the outer shaft and is connected in a torque-transmitting manner to the outer shaft via a rolling body. The rolling body can roll in the direction of the longitudinal axis and the rolling body bearing in a positively locking manner in the circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis between rolling body raceways on the inner and outer shaft. The steering shaft includes a securing element with a supporting body arranged between supporting faces configured on the inner shaft and on the outer shaft, which at least one supporting body can be supported in a positively locking manner in the circumferential direction. The supporting body is spaced apart in the circumferential direction from the supporting faces.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2017Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignees: THYSSENKRUPP PRESTA AG, THYSSENKRUPP AGInventors: Paul Schwarzhans, René Marco Schmidt

Patent number: 10793180Abstract: A method for producing a length-adjustable steering shaft having a hollow shaft in which a toothed shaft is received so as to be axially telescopic. The toothed shaft has a toothing with teeth on an external circumference that extend in the axial direction and which engages in a form-fitting manner in an inner toothing of the hollow shaft. A sliding layer of thermoplastic plastics material is at least in portions attached between the inner toothing and the toothing. In order to enable an improved fastening of the sliding layer to the toothing, prior to attaching the sliding layer, form-fitting elements which for forming a form-fitting connection that is effective in the axial direction are brought to engage with the sliding layer are configured in the region of the toothing of the toothed shaft or the inner toothing of the hollow shaft.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignees: THYSSENKRUPP PRESTA AG, THYSSENKRUPP AGInventors: Marius Breuer, Janick Durot, Paul Schwarzhans, Joachim Tuertscher, Robert Josef Maerk

Patent number: 9487229Abstract: A clamping device for an adjustable steering column for a motor vehicle comprises a clamping bolt which is rotatable about its longitudinal axis for the opening and closing of the clamping device by means of an actuation lever, through an opening of which the clamping bolt extends. In the region of the opening of the actuation lever there is situated a connecting section of the clamping bolt, over the axial extent of which connecting section the clamping bolt is connected to the actuation lever by way of a press fit. The outer wall of the clamping bolt has, in the connecting section of the clamping bolt, at least two pressing regions which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis and by way of which the actuation lever is pressed against the outer wall.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: THYSSENKRUPP PRESTA AGInventors: Michael Hahn, Martin Fleischer, Paul Schwarzhans
