Clamping device and mounting for an adjustable steering-column using such a device

Abstract

Abstract The clamping device comprises two levers (16, 18) which are hinged together and each to one of the flanges (12, 14) of a collar (10) that is to be tightened. One of these levers (18) comprises an open slot (36) athwart the plane of the hinges, in which slot there is mounted a screw-and-nut system (40, 42) for adjusting the spacing between the edges of the slot and the tension of the lever. The collar (10) is attached to a height-adjustable steering column and its flanges (12, 14) are positioned so as to face each of the inner opposing edges (52, 54) of the window of a fixed fitting through which this column passes. The clamping device locks the column in the selected position. <IMAGE>
