ABSTRACT:
An adjustable steering device for motor vehicles has a steering spindle which can be axially displaced in at least one jacket tube by way of an adjusting device, The adjusting device is provided with an operable adjusting element which holds the steering spindle and releases it for the displacement. The adjusting element includes at least one pressure segment which is held by at least one elastic tensioning element in a receiving ring embracing the protective steering tube, It has a toothing which can be brought into a fixing and a displacement position by a corresponding toothing on a protective steering tube by way of at least one tensioning device. As a result, an adjustable steering device is provided which ensures a simple and secure axial displacement and fixing while the behavior in a crash is good.
