ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a drive mechanism in which a movable bracket is operatively connected to a drive source so that the movable bracket is moved to a desired angular position, the movable bracket including an upper jacket supporting an upper shaft provided with a steering wheel attached thereto. One end of the movable bracket is pivotally supported by a fixed bracket attached to a vehicle, and the other free end of the movable bracket is pivoted on a nut member which engages a lead screw through an eccentric bearing assembly. The eccentric bearing assembly causes angular movement in the bracket as the nut member is linearly moved by rotation of the lead screw.
