ABSTRACT:
A steering column has a tilt head pivotal about a tilt axis. A switch is mounted on the column controlled by an actuator assembly having an actuator rod secured to the column for reciprocal movement along its axis. The actuator assembly includes a cam member connected to the column for pivotal movement about a cam axis disposed in an orthogonal offset manner to the rod axis. The cam member is engaged by the rod and is operated by a lever pivotal on the column about a lever axis parallel to the cam axis and which axis intersects the tilt axis at a right angle. The cam member has a compound-curved camming surface disposed in contact with a transverse cam finger portion extending from the lever. The arrangement permits the tilt head to be pivotally adjusted while allowing the actuator assembly to provide on/off control of the column switch.
