  • Collapsible-steering unit for motor vehicles
    Patent number: 4228695
    Abstract: A collapsible steering unit for a motor car or similar vehicle is disclosed, in which a sheet-metal boxlike bracket is inserted in a bridge-like manner between the steering column sleeve and a point of the car body, said bracket being composed of a comparatively undeformable portion placed away of the steering column and a notched deformable portion placed near said column. The bracket is thus a differential-rigidity component part which ensures a nearly complete absorption of the shock energy.
