ABSTRACT:
A steering column assembly having upper and lower telescoping shaft sections, a jacket surrounding the upper shaft section and an extensible deforming member surrounding the jacket and connected at one end thereto. A U-shaped clamp clamps onto the deforming member and is pivotably mounted to a mounting bracket. The deformable member slides through the clamp upon manual adjustment of the steeing shafts to form a steering column of a desired length but, upon impact, the clamp pivots with respect to the mounting bracket and increases its clamping force upon the deformable member to prevent sliding of the jacket.
