Problems solved by technology

However, this type of diaphragm presents a difficult installation because the diaphragm must be fitted to both the steering column and the instrument panel, which slows down installation
In addition, when the steering column is in motion, the diaphragm is stressed, which causes premature wear of the diaphragm
Finally, in the event of a crash, the diaphragm can tear, requiring it to be replaced when the motor vehicle is overhauled

Embodiment Construction

[0024] In this specification, the term "longitudinal" is defined in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the term "transverse" is defined in the width of the vehicle.

[0025] refer to figure 1 A steering device 1 is described which has a steering column 2 (shown partially) and a dashboard 4 (also shown partially). The steering column 2 is mounted in the opening 6 of the dashboard 4 such that the end portion of the steering column extends into the vehicle cabin and the driver of the vehicle has access to a steering wheel mounted on said end portion.

[0026] As is known, the steering column 2 is mounted on a crossbeam 8 extending transversely and also serving as a support to the instrument panel 4 . Steering column 2 is for example installed on guide rail 10 ( image 3 ), the guide rail 10 is fixed to the beam 8 and the fixing member carrying the steering column 2 . The steering column 2 is mounted for rotational movement about a cross member 8 between a low end pos...

Abstract

The invention relates to a steering assembly (1) comprising a position-adjustable steering column (2) and a dashboard (4), a space (12) extending between the steering column (2) and the dashboard (4). A flexible protective sleeve (14) is secured around the column (2) and comprises a free end part (16) that extends inside the aforementioned space (12). In addition, a concealing element (18) is disposed in the space to conceal same, said element having a concave form and comprising an upper wall (20) secured to the dashboard (4) and a lower wall (22). The concealing element (18) is made from a rigid material and is unable to move in relation to the dashboard (4), the lower wall (22) being arranged to freely receive the free end part (16) of the sleeve (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steering device for a motor vehicle with a position-adjustable steering column and an instrument panel, the steering column being received in an opening in the instrument panel, a clearance between the steering column and the instrument panel Extending between them, a flexible sheath is fixed around the steering column and has a free end portion extending in said gap in which a cover for the gap is arranged, said cover having a concave shape with a lower wall and fixed to The upper wall of the instrument panel. [0002] The invention also relates to a motor vehicle with such a steering device. Background technique [0003] It is known to provide a position-adjustable steering column in order to increase the driving comfort of a motor vehicle by adapting the position of the steering wheel to the driver's preferences. Thus, the steering column is adjustable in height and depth, for example, in order to position the steering w...
