ABSTRACT:
An axially adjustable steering device for motor vehicles comprises two jacket-tube parts, of which the inner jacket-tube part is displaceable telescopically in the outer jacket-tube part by means of a controllable drive, a worm gear received in a reception part pivotably mounted fixedly relative to the vehicle acting on an axial tooth-profile part on the inner jacket-tube part in a longitudinally displacing manner. The reception part is retained via a locking mechanism in an engagement position of the worm gear and tooth-profile part, and this locking mechanism is releasable in a controlled manner during a front collision, after which the worm gear is pivoted out of engagement with the tooth-profile part and the inner jacket-tube part is moveable into a position shifted furthest in the forward direction.
