ABSTRACT:
A safety steering column has a deforming element inserted between parts of the steering column extending between a steering wheel and steering gear in a vehicle. The deforming element is fabricated from a torsionally rigid, flat piece of material, and has a longitudinal cross-section generally of zig-zag shape, such as a Z or an M. The element connects the steering column parts with torsional rigidity and is responsive to percussive forces occurring in the direction of a steering column axis. The magnitude of the transverse extension of the element in a direction normal to the steering column axis is at least twice the diametral magnitude of the steering column parts.
