Patent number: 11745787Abstract: A system for adjusting a rake of a steering column includes a rake actuator. The system also includes a jacket assembly. The system further includes a first bracket operatively coupled to the jacket assembly, the first bracket defining a first slot. The system yet further includes a second bracket defining a second slot, the second bracket fixed in a stationary position relative to the first bracket, the first and second slots oriented at different angles, but partially aligned. The system also includes a cam follower operatively coupled to the rake actuator, the cam follower having an arm extending through the first slot and the second slot, wherein translation of the cam follower adjusts the angular position of the first bracket and the jacket assembly.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2020Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Steering Solutions IP Holding CorporationInventors: Patrik Ryne, George E. Arlt

Patent number: 10913493Abstract: A power steering system including a first linkage arm pivotally coupled to a cross-link member extending in a transverse direction. Also included is a first shaft generally orthogonal to the first linkage arm, the first shaft configured to rotate the first linkage arm. Further included is a power portion of the first linkage arm extending from a first end of the first linkage arm to the first shaft. Yet further included is an assist portion of the first linkage arm extending from the first shaft to a second end of the first linkage arm. Also included is an electric actuator. Further included is a linkage member extending from the electric actuator and operatively coupled to the assist portion of the first linkage arm.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Steering Solutions IP Holding CorporationInventors: Eric D.
