Abstract

L'invention concerne une colonne de direction à absorption d'énergie pour véhicules automobiles. Ladite colonne de direction comprend deux éléments coaxiaux télescopiques dont l'un est creux, avec un organe pour transmettre un couple de l'un à l'autre et au moins une bande d'absorption d'énergie repliée sur elle-même, qui est séparée dudit organe, formant deux branches réunies par une base ou coude et montées dans l'élément creux. L'une des branches est fixée à l'un des éléments et l'autre branche est fixée à l'autre élément à distance de la base. Application à une colonne de direction de véhicules routiers.The invention relates to an energy-absorbing steering column for motor vehicles. Said steering column comprises two telescopic coaxial elements, one of which is hollow, with a member for transmitting a torque from one to the other and at least one energy absorption band folded back on itself, which is separated from said member, forming two branches joined by a base or elbow and mounted in the hollow element. One of the branches is fixed to one of the elements and the other branch is fixed to the other element at a distance from the base. Application to a steering column of road vehicles.
