ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a steering column for motor vehicles with an angle-adjustable steering wheel, in which a steering shaft has a lower shaft 1 and an upper shaft 2. These shafts are connected to one another by a universal joint 5 rotatably mounted in a housing. The housing has a lower housing 3, which is attached to the vehicle body, and an upper housing 4, which, in contrast, is movable about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis 11 of the steering column. Both housings form adjustable connection links for the angle adjustment of the steering wheel by connection links which can be motor-driven. The connection link has a worm segment 10 attached to the upper housing 4 and a worm 12 motor-rotatably mounted on the lower housing 3.
