ABSTRACT:
A steering column comprises a pair of steering column members. One of the steering column members is movable axially relative to the other. Structure is also provided for supporting the pair of steering column members for tilting movement about a tilt axis which extends transverse to the direction of relative axial movement of the steering column members. A first locking device locks the steering column members in any one of a plurality of relative axial positions, and a second locking device locks the steering column members in any one of a plurality of tilt positions. A control lever is movable to release the first and second locking devices. A linkage is connected with the control lever and the first and second locking devices to release the first and second locking devices upon movement of the control lever.
