ABSTRACT:
The tiltable steering mechanism is comprised of a first bracket adapted to be fixed to the vehicle body and a second bracket rotatably supporting the upper portion of the steering column pivotally connected to the first bracket. An infinitely adjustable latch mechanism is provided for continuously adjusting the angle between the first and second brackets. The latch mechanism is separable to permit a tilt-away operation in which the steering mechanism is tilted quickly to the upper limit to facilitate ingress and egress from the vehicle. Upon subsequent lowering of the steering mechanism, the latch mechanism will automatically re-engage at the previously adjusted position.
