ABSTRACT:
A tilt and translating steering column assembly for vehicles in which an inner tube rectilinear in cross section is mounted for sliding movement with respect to an outer tube. The inner tube is selectively locked relative to the outer tube by an angular clamping shoe which is actuated by a camming device which diagonally forces the inner and outer tube into frictional engagement with angular and opposing sides of the two tubes. This device permits the two tubes to be quickly and readily adjusted to an infinite number of positions. The inner tube carries a steering column housing and steering wheel which can be linearly moved relative to the fixed outer tube to suit driver requirement.
