ABSTRACT:
A mounting for an adjustable steering column comprising a support (6) for rotatably carrying a column member, a bracket (1) carrying the support, the support (6) being movable relative to the bracket in two mutually perpendicular directions, two rack and pinions sets (16,17,18,19 and 22,23,24,25) connected between the bracket (1) and the support (6) such that movement of the support (6) relative to the bracket in each of the mutually perpendicular directions causes the pinions (18,19,24,25) to roll relative to their racks (16,17,22,23) of respective rack and pinion sets, and clamping means (32,36,38) for clamping the bracket to the support by increasing the frictional forces opposing the relative movement of the racks and the pinions.
