ABSTRACT:
A safety steering system for motor vehicles with a steering spindle which is concentrically surrounded over a part of its length by a plastically deformable deformation member and which is changeable in its length by an impact of the driver against the steering wheel caused by an accident; the end of the deformaton member remote from the steering wheel is thereby supported at a fixed vehicle part arranged at a distance to the end wall while an outer column which is arranged between the deformation member and the steering spindle within the area of the deformation member, is displaceable in case of an accident together with the steering wheel and with the adjoining part of the steering spindle; the deformation member is thereby constituted by one or several hollow bodies which have an inner diameter that is only slightly larger than the outer diameter of the outer column.
