  • Patent number: 11203376
    Abstract: A drive carriage of a vehicle steering system positioned between a movable tube and a drive member, having an attachment zone intended to cooperate with the movable tube, the attachment zone making a fixation of the movable tube on the drive carriage when a force exerted on the attachment zone is below a first predetermined threshold and a movement of the movable tube relative to the drive carriage when the force exerted on the attachment zone exceeds the first predetermined threshold, the drive carriage comprises a coupling zone intended to cooperate with a cover part making the fixation of the cover part on the drive carriage when a force exerted on the coupling zone is below a second predetermined threshold and a movement of the cover part relative to the drive carriage when the force exerted on the second coupling zone exceeds the second predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20210031825
    Abstract: A steering system for a motor vehicle, including a steering casing, having a hollow guide conduit extending along a longitudinal axis, a steering column including an upper tube, disposed in the guide conduit and displaceable in translation relative to the steering casing along the longitudinal axis mounted on the steering casing and driving a drive member in displacement parallel to the longitudinal axis, an absorption blade including a first portion, secured to the upper tube, and a second portion, secured to the drive member, the first portion and the second portion extending parallel to the longitudinal axis opposite to each other and being connected by a bent portion, the second portion has at least one stop in contact with the first portion, so as to prevent a relative approaching between the second portion and the first portion.
