Abstract: A locking mechanism for a telescoping steering column includes an energy absorption strap having a plurality of teeth disposed therealong. Also included is a clamp bolt rotatably driven by an adjustment lever. Further included is an actuator body coupled to the clamp bolt and rotated therewith. Yet further included is a first lock cam coupled to the actuator body and engageable with the teeth of the energy absorption strap to lock the telescoping steering column in a first direction. Also included is a second lock cam coupled to the actuator body and engageable with the teeth of the energy absorption strap to lock the telescoping steering column in a second direction different than the first direction.

Abstract: A rake assembly for a steering column includes a pin adapted to move along a first axis between a locked position and an unlocked position. The rake assembly also includes a first tray fixed to a support structure, the first tray having a plurality of teeth. The rake assembly further includes a rocker tray having a plurality of teeth adapted to mesh with the plurality of teeth of the first tray when in the locked position and un-mesh when in the unlocked position, the rocker tray being adapted to rock about a second axis from an un-tilted state when in the locked position and to a tilted state when in the unlocked position to provide a degree of motion to facilitate meshing of the plurality of teeth of the first tray and the plurality of teeth of the rocker tray, the second axis being transverse to the first axis.

Abstract: Technical solutions are described for a clamp mechanism of an adjustable steering column assembly. The clamp mechanism comprises a fixed bracket configured for rigid attachment to a vehicle, and a movable bracket configured to hold a steering shaft. An adjustment nut threadedly engages an adjustment bolt, the adjustment nut or the adjustment bolt moves between an adjustment position and a holding position, selectively coupling the movable bracket to the fixed bracket in the holding position. The fixed bracket defines a first slotted aperture to guide the adjustment bolt in a linear path for adjusting a position of the steering shaft. A positive locking member moves to a locked position, blocking the adjustment bolt from moving along the first slotted aperture in a crash event. A friction plate is pivotably coupled to the fixed bracket to pivot as the positive locking member moves between an unlocked position and the locked position.

Abstract: A steering column assembly includes a jacket assembly, a locking assembly, and an adjustment lever. The jacket assembly extends along a steering column axis and is connected to a support bracket. The locking assembly is movable between a locked position that inhibits movement of the jacket assembly relative to the steering column axis and an unlocked position that facilitates movement of the jacket assembly relative to the steering column axis. The adjustment lever is arranged to pivot about a lever axis to move the locking assembly between the locked position and the unlocked position.
