摘要： The present invention pertains to a steering column for a motor vehicle equipped with an inflatable air bag in the steering wheel (6), in which the parts (3, 4) of a steering shaft, which are connected to one another by a universal joint (5), are rotatably mounted in a housing consisting of a movable upper housing part (1) and a lower housing part (2) rigidly attached to the body, and the two parts of the housing are connected by a hinge (7) to a hinge axis (9) that extends approximately horizontally in the plane of the intersection of the axes of the universal joint, and can be interlocked with one another by the frictional engagement of a clamping device (13). In this steering column, the hinge (7) of the two housing parts (1, 2) is arranged at a spaced location from and above the central longitudinal axis (8) of the steering column, and the two housing parts (1, 2) can be interlocked with one another only in a position in which the axes of the steering shaft parts (3, 4) connected to one another by the universal joint (5) form an angle that is open toward the hinge (7), and the frictional engagement can be overcome by the recoil forces of the ignition of the air bag during the inflation of the air bag.

摘要： A textured, layered mold-formed body is produced with a foil laminate in which a top foil of at most partially crosslinked polymer materials and a sub-foil containing a polymer foam material with a density between 35 and 120 grams per liter and a gel content of less than 80 percent are laminated together. The foil laminate is embossed with a texture and treated with electron beams to give the texture enough stability for a subsequent deep-drawing step in which the mold-formed body is produced.

摘要： A clamping device for an adjustable steering column of a motor vehicle for the detachable fixation of a housing accommodating the steering column at a bracket rigidly connected to the body of the motor vehicle. The device has at least two friction surface pairs, each of which consists of at least one friction surface arranged at the body bracket and at least one corresponding friction surface at the steering column housing and a tilting pin mechanism for generating the clamping forces, which is axially movable along an axis arranged at right angles to the plane of the friction surface pairs. The tilting pin mechanism has two individual, separately adjustable clamping mechanisms which can be actuated together via a synchronizing sleeve. The synchronizing sleeve may have a toothed belt gear on its outside, or it may have a hand lever.
