Abstract
This device for fixing a steering column to the bodywork of a motor vehicle, in which the column (1) is connected to an assembly member (2), and this member to the bodywork (3) of the vehicle via fixing means, is characterized in that the fixing means comprise means (4) for hooking the member to the bodywork and means (5, 6) suitable for producing a mechanical stress between this member and the bodywork in order to ensure that the member is fixed under stress to the bodywork. This device advantageously comprises, in proximity to one of the ends of the member (2), the hooking means (4), in proximity to the other end of this member, means (5) for clamping the member to the bodywork, and, between these hooking and clamping means, means (6) tending to distance this member from the bodywork.
