ABSTRACT:
A tiltable steering arrangement is arranged with the axis of rotation thereof relatively close to the steering wheel and in the near vicinity of a relatively heavy valve arrangement associated therewith. A locking device is located at a distance from the axis of rotation and on the other side thereof with respect to the steering wheel. This provides a mechanical advantage with allows for a less robust locking mechanism which is not subject to large moments of force which would otherwise result if the mass were located at a distance from the axis of rotation while increasing the amount of angle adjustment possible.
