US Patent 11279395 Steering column with adjustment limit stop

A steering column having an adjustment limit stop device comprising a body receiving, in a deformable bearing, the sleeve carrying the steering wheel and a mechanism for clamping a shaft with a lever carrying a clamping device compressing the deformable bearing. The steering column comprises a stop device provided with a stop edge carried by the sleeve and with which a lock cooperates that limits the adjustment travel of the sleeve while being retracted after the adjustments of the column have been clamped, allowing the sleeve to travel, in the event of an impact on the steering wheel, in order to absorb the energy.
