ABSTRACT:
Steering column for a motor vehicle and comprising a body (1), a fixed portion (2) rigidly linked to the frame of the vehicle and a mobile portion (3) rigidly linked to the body (1). The column also comprises a fixed notched element (70) integral with a bracket (21) of the fixed portion (2), a mobile notched element (71) connected to the mobile portion (3), and fixing elements (51, 52, 53, 54, 55) making it possible to render integral the mobile (3) and fixed (2) portions in a locked position in which the notches (80, 90) of the two notched elements (70, 71) cooperate by shape mating. An elastic device (72) is provided between the fixed (70) and mobile (71) notched elements, causing the elements (70, 71) to be moved apart from each other, when the fixing elements (51, 52, 53, 54, 55) are inactivated and thus allowing to unlock the link between the fixed (2) and mobile (3) portions.
