Abstract

764,577. Steering vehicles. JAGUAR CARS, Ltd. Feb. 16, 1955, No. 4587/55. Class 79(5). In an axially adjustable steering shaft a shaft portion 12 carrying the steering wheel 11 is formed with a longitudinal groove 13 to receive part of a ball 14 located in a surrounding portion 17 of the steering shaft, and a nut 22, which engages the steering wheel end of the surrounding portion 17 and has an internally tapered surface 24 engaging the ball 14, can be tightened so as to maintain the ball in locking engagement with the groove 13 to clamp the shaft portions 12, 17 in their desired axial relationship. In the preferred embodiment the steering shaft portion 12 has three symmetrically arranged V-shaped grooves 13, each receiving part of a ball 14, and the balls being carried by apertures 16 in the surrounding portion 17. The nut 22 is formed of parts 22a, 22b, the periphery of the part 22a being manipulatable and the part 22b being threaded and having the tapered surface 24. The portion 17 is formed of parts 17a, 17b welded together at 17c, is carried by a bearing 19 in a stationary steering column 20 and carries at its upper end a circlip 31 which limits axial movement of a cup-like member 30. A spiral spring 28 interconnects the member 30 and the wheel 11 for sealing purposes, the member 30 bearing on the nut 22.
