摘要： The latch mechanism includes the shoe release lever pivotally attached to the support housing for pivotal movement about a lever axis parallel to the tilt axis between the latched position and the unlatched position. A tab extends from a slide to define a connection between the lever and the slide for moving the slide out of engagement with a tilt shoe thereby allowing rotation of the tilt shoe to the unlatched position. The connection, defined by the tab and opening, is spaced along the release lever from the lever axis and the distal end defined by a knob to provide compact packaging while retaining adequate mechanical advantage.

摘要翻译： 闩锁机构包括可枢转地附接到支撑壳体的鞋释放杆，用于围绕平行于锁定位置和解锁位置之间的倾斜轴线的杠杆轴线枢转运动。 突片从滑块延伸以限定杆和滑块之间的连接，用于将滑块移动与倾斜鞋脱离接合，从而允许倾斜靴旋转到解锁位置。 由突片和开口限定的连接件沿着释放杆从杠杆轴线间隔开，远端由旋钮限定，以提供紧凑的包装，同时保持足够的机械优点。

摘要： A telescoping steering column assembly of the present invention includes a lower jacket disposed in telescoping relationship within an upper jacket along a longitudinal axes, and a brake supported by the upper jacket for frictional engagement with the lower jacket. The brake presents an inclined surface sloping longitudinally of the jackets. A cam device of the assembly is rotatable into and out of engagement with the inclined surface. The cam device includes a lever to move the brake upwardly, to engage the lower jacket with the upper jacket, and downwardly, to disengage the jackets in different modes of operation of the assembly.

摘要： The invention provides a steering column for a vehicle. The steering column includes a rake bracket having first and second side walls. The steering column also includes a first steering column member disposed between the first and second side walls for raking movement. The first steering column member includes a first aperture and a plurality of projections extending inwardly from the first aperture. The steering column also includes a second steering column member received in the first aperture for telescoping movement relative to the first steering column member. The steering column also includes a lock operable in a locked configuration to concurrently urge the first and second side walls of the rake bracket together to prevent the raking movement and urge the second steering column member and the plurality of projections together to prevent the telescoping movement.

摘要： An adjustable steering column assembly having an outer jacket, an inner jacket, and a tilt housing. A longitudinal locking device moves between released and engaged positions allowing and preventing longitudinal movement of the inner jacket relative to the outer jacket. A tilt locking device moves between released and engaged positions allowing and preventing tilting movement of the tilt housing relative to the inner jacket. A control lever is coupled to both of the longitudinal locking device and the tilt locking device for simultaneously moving the devices between the released and engaged positions. The longitudinal locking device has first and second members each having interengaging chamfers. The first member has an engagement surface abutting an abutment surface of the inner jacket when in the engaged position to prevent the longitudinal movement of the inner jacket relative to the outer jacket. The engagement and abutment surfaces are preferably uninterrupted along a longitudinal axis to provide an infinite number of adjustment positions for the inner jacket.
