ABSTRACT:
A power assisted steering mechanism comprises a steering column in two parts which are connected by a plain cylindrical torsion bar which may be solid or hollow and which allows a certain degree of relative angular displacement. An abutment is also provided to prevent excessive relative angular displacement resulting from failure of the torsion bar. The torsion bar has one of its ends bonded to one of the parts in any relative angular position and the other end is bonded to the other part as by welding, brazing or adhesive bonding, and a power assistance means are adapted device operates in response to relative movement of the parts resulting from a steering movement.
