ABSTRACT:
A longitudinally and angularly adjustable vehicle steering column has two telescopically coupled steering column parts. One part is secured to a vehicle frame for swinging motion about a horizontal axis while the other part carries the steering wheel. The steering column is supported by a two-part strut. One strut part is in engagement with the steering column and the other strut part is secured to the vehicle frame for swinging motion about a horizontal axis. The strut parts are bar-like components articulated to one another. One of the strut parts extends parallel to the steering column axis. A locking bar mounted on only one of the two said steering column parts extends substantially parallel to the column axis and projects into a clamping sleeve mounted on the other of the two steering column parts. The clamping sleeve also receives one of the strut parts. A tightening mechanism cooperates with the clamping sleeve for simultaneously immobilizing the locking bar and the strut part in the clamping sleeve.
