Abstract:
An adjustable steering column support, comprising:a bearing block as a first part; a second part in the form of a guide part configured to receive a steering column, a first one of the first part and the second part including a guide rail configured to guide a sliding block which is secured to a slide section of a second one of the first part and the second part; wherein the sliding block is made of a flexibly compliant material and is dimensioned such that it compensates for play between the guide part and the guide rail; wherein the slide section and the guide rail are made of sheet-steel molded parts; wherein the sliding block is surrounded by one of the first part and the second part so that an additional securing and retention in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail is unnecessary; wherein the slide section and the guide rail are configured to intermesh so that a mutual emergency guidance without derailment remains, even if the sliding block is destroyed; and wherein the sliding block is mounted in the slide section such that the slide section can swivel with respect to the sliding block.
