ABSTRACT:
A telescopic steering mechanism for automotive vehicles includes first and second support members telescopically coupled with each other for relative movement, a first shaft rotatably carried by the first support member, a second shaft rotatably carried by the second support member and telescopically coupled with the first shaft for rotation therewith, a feed screw shaft arranged in parallel with the first and second shafts and rotatably carried by the first support shaft, and a feed nut fixedly mounted on the second support member and threadedly coupled over the feed screw shaft for effecting relative movement of the support members in accordance with rotation of the feed screw shaft. In the above arrangement: the first support member is integrally formed thereon with an elongated guide lug which is arranged in parallel with the first and second shafts; the second support member is integrally formed thereon with a support portion which is axially movably coupled over the elongated guide lug and resiliently engaged with the elongated guide lug, and the feed screw shaft is assembled to be slightly displaceable in a radial direction on the first support member.
