Abstract: An X-axis steering column includes a cap, a U-shaped tab attached to the cap, and an upper tube that slides relative to a lower tube. An attachment for attaching the cap to the U-shaped tab includes two screws and at least one stop in contact with at least one lateral groove. The at least one stop is configured to absorb lateral loads without any longitudinal movement of the steering column being impeded, including during adjustment of the steering column or during an impact due to a collision.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device for fastening comprising a jaw, a screw with a diameter d and a shaft, the jaw having two parallel flanks surrounding a portion of the shaft, with the shaft having a peripheral recess in line with the screw in assembled position and with each of the flanks having an orifice that the screw passes through, it is characterised in that one of the orifices is of oblong shape. The oblong shape of the orifice makes it possible to prevent the screw from becoming “stuck” between the shaft and the orifice when the shaft is incorrectly positioned, by releasing the screw as soon as the latter enters into interference with another part or an obstacle and as such makes it possible to prevent the transmission of a torque between the two parts to be attached.
