ABSTRACT:
An adjustable steering column support comprising a support part (1) which is stationary mounted in the vehicle and a steering column carrier (2) which is longitudinally and angularly displacable in relation to said stationary part, and in which the stationary part (1) and the steering column carrier (2) are formed as two mirror-symmetrical halves which are kept together by means of cross bolts (14, 15) and an intermediate wedge locking means (3), which by a spring force (29) presses the two halves apart. Preferably both the stationary support part (1) and the steering column carrier (2) are formed with interleaved and cooperating locking plates (7, 8 and 9-11). One of the pairs of locking plates, preferably the locking plates (7, 8) of the stationary support part (1) are formed with two different through slots in which the through bolts (14, 15) are movable when displacing the steering column carrier (2) in relation to the stationary support part (1). Preferably at least one of the slots ( 26) is wider than the diameter of the through bolt (15), whereby the steering column carrier (1) can be moved angularly around the rear bolt (14) at the same time as being displaced in the longitudinal direction of the slots.
