Telescoping-tilting device of steering column for vehicle
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a telescoping-tilting device of a steering column for a vehicle, the telescoping-tilting device including a distance member which has an elongated hole formed at each side of the distance member in parallel to a steering shaft and a guide groove formed on each inner surface of the both sides of the distance member in parallel to each elongated hole, and a supporting block positioned within the distance member, the supporting block having a through hole shaped to be engaged with a bolt and a wing which can be inserted into each guide groove and extends out from both sides of the supporting block in each side direction. When impact is applied, the distance member does not move respective to the mounting bracket. Therefore, there is an advantage in that collision energy is generated as planned and a desired impact absorption mechanism can be achieved.
1. A telescoping-tilting device of a steering column for a vehicle, comprising:
a mounting bracket for fixing a steering column including an inner tube and an outer tube surrounding a steering shaft in such a manner that the inner and outer tubes can slide respective to each other;
a distance member positioned within the mounting bracket in such a manner that the distance member is attached onto a part of an outer circumferential surface of the outer tube, the distance member having elongated holes formed respectively both sides of the distance member in parallel to the steering shaft and guide grooves formed respectively inner surfaces of both sides of the distance member in parallel to each elongated hole;
a lever assembled with one side of the mounting bracket through a bolt and a cam; and
a supporting block positioned within the distance member, the supporting block having a through hole shaped to be engaged with the bolt and a wing inserted into each guide groove and which extends out from both sides of the supporting block in each side direction.
