Abstract

An adjusting device to vary the inclination of a steering column of a motor vehicle comprises a rectangular frame which surrounds a casing tube accommodating the steering column, braces the same against the vehicle body and acts additionally as a guide lever for pivotal adjusting movement of the steering column. A motor driven adjusting mechanism is anchored at a fixed angle to the frame and to the casing tube and operates to pivotally adjust the steering column inclination.
