  • Steering column for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 6349610
    Abstract: A steering column for a motor vehicle has a steering shaft rotatably mounted in a jacket tube. The jacket tube has at least one plastically deformable deformation element associated therewith, with energy adsorption during axial displacement of the jacket tube. The at least one deformation element is secured on at least one side to the jacket tube and abuts a deflecting structure that is permanently attached to the body, and positioned axially with respect to the deformation element in such fashion that the deformation element is deformed with the aid of the deflecting structure during an axial displacement of the jacket tube.
    Type: Grant
