ABSTRACT:
An assembly (32) for adjusting a steering wheel (30), supported on a steering column (36), in relation to an operative position of the wheel (30), includes a hinge (34) supporting the column (36), a fixed bracket (44) pivotally supporting the hinge (34) and having a seat (58) on which the hinge (34) sits in the operative position, and an actuating mechanism (62) being rotatably coupled through the hinge (34) and bracket (44) to move the hinge (34) off of and onto the seat (58). The assembly (32) can be used in a forklift truck (10) and is directed to provide, for example, for moving the wheel (30) through infinite, rather than discrete positions, and to prevent impact forces from being imparted to the actuating mechanism (62) in response to positioning the wheel (30).
