摘要： An adjustable steering column for motor vehicles, in which a steering axle (2), which is composed of parts that are telescopingly displaceable in relation to one another and is connected at its top end (3) to the steering wheel, is rotatably mounted in a housing (1), and this housing is supported in a holder (4) that is a rigid part of the body both pivotably around a transverse axis (7) and displaceably in the longitudinal direction of the steering column in relation to the body. The actually supported position is continuously lockable by two hydraulically acting piston-and-cylinder units (13, 14), which are rigidly articulated to the body, on the one hand, and are connected to the housing (1) in an articulated manner, on the other hand. One of the two piston-and-cylinder units (13) is connected to the housing (1) in an articulated manner via an angle lever (10) that is mounted in the holder (4) pivotably around a transverse axis (7), and both piston-and-cylinder units (13, 14) are aligned approximately in parallel to the longitudinal axis (8) of the steering column.

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： The present invention pertains to a safety system for steering shafts, in which shaft parts non-rotatably engage each other and are secured against relative displacement in relation to one another by injected shear materials, which are designed for maximum axial forces in the steering shaft and engage recesses on the outer circumference of the inner shaft part and on the inner circumference of the outer shaft part. Such a safety system has an at least double telescoping shaft system, in which at least two shaft parts are connected to one another by an intermediate shaft part, and the inner shaft parts engage a radial expansion of the corresponding outer shaft part, and a cross section of the shear material designed for shearing is arranged between the shaft parts in the area of the expansion.
