ABSTRACT:
An automotive steering column having slip rings rotatable with a steering shaft and contact brushes on a housing of the steering column for transferring electrical signals between the steering column and a steering wheel rotatable with the steering shaft. The steering shaft is supported on the housing by a pair of longitudinally spaced bearings including an outboard bearing having an inner race on an adapter sleeve rotatable as a unit with the steering shaft. The slip ring is on the adapter sleeve between the spaced bearings and the adapter sleeve defines an annular spacer between the inner race of the outboard bearing and the steering shaft. A passage is defined in the portion of the adapter sleeve defining the annular spacer and a conductor connected to the slip ring traverses the plane of the outboard bearing in the passage.
