ABSTRACT:
A holding arrangement for a steering column of a motor vehicle, particularly for a steering column having a steering wheel with an air bag, is disclosed which has an energy-absorbing carrier bracket arranged between the body of the vehicle and a steering protection tube, the carrier bracket being connected with a steering column protection tube. The carrier bracket is equipped with deformation sections and is arranged above the steering protection tube. Below the steering protection tube, a knee catching device is provided that comprises a rigid force transmitting element that is arranged opposite the carrier bracket and in a force-transmitting way is connected with the steering protection tube. The movement of the steering column that takes place in the case of an impact is supported by longitudinal forces introduced into the steering wheel--while absorbing energy in the deformation sections--via vertical forces introduced via the force-transmitting element.
