ABSTRACT:
The innermost of two telescoping sub-portions of the steering shaft of an adjustable-length, tiltable steering column is received within the outermost shaft sub-portion, as is a wedge plug which interacts with the innermost sub-portion to wedgingly lock the linkage in adjusted, telescoped position when a threaded actuating rod is turned in one direction. The rod is interlocked with the innermost shaft sub-portion or the wedge plug to prevent relative axial movement between the rod and innermost shaft sub-portion or plug at least when the rod is turned in the other direction.
