A steering column has a first steering column member movable axially relative to a second steering column member. An input shaft is connected with the steering wheel and supported on the first steering column member for pivotable movement relative to the first steering column member. A first lock locks the first steering column member in any one of an infinite number of axial positions relative to the second steering column member. A second lock locks the input shaft in any one of an infinite number of pivot positions relative to the first steering column member. A member to unlock the first and second locks has a first position in which the first lock is unlocked and the second lock is locked. The member has another position in which the second lock means is unlocked and the first lock is locked.

US Classification:

Abstract:
A steering column (10) has a first steering column member (12) movable axially relative to a second steering column member (14). A support (68, 144) for connecting the steering column to a vehicle frame includes first and second clamping members (68, 144) at least partially circumscribing a member (58) connected to the first steering column member (12) for clamping the member (58) connected to the first steering column member (12) to lock the first steering column member (12) in any one of an infinite number of positions relative to the second steering column member (14). The first clamping member (68) is adapted to be connected to the vehicle frame. The second clamping member (144) has a first end portion (148) connected to the first clamping member (68) and a second end portion (142). A cam (122) engaging the second end portion (142) of the second clamping member (144) applies a clamping force to the second clamping member (144). The cam (122) has a first position in which the first steering column member (12) is prevented from moving relative to the second steering column member (14) and a second position in which the first steering column member (12) is permitted to move axially relative to the second steering column member (14).
