ABSTRACT:
In order to produce free space ahead of the driver of an automobile for the braking of said driver caused by a safety belt in case of a crash, the steering wheel together with the upper parts of the steering column and the steering column tube are urged toward a retracted position by a compression spring which is normally retained in compressed condition by a locking latch disposed between the vehicle body and the upper steering column tube. The release of the latch results from displacement of a lower steering column tube part during a crash which, upon such displacement, lifts a locking nose out of a recess in the upper steering colum part.
