Abstract
The present invention relates to a steering column device for motor vehicles, including a steering-wheel shaft mounted in a body tube by means of two bearings disposed substantially at each end of the body tube. The body tube is supported by a holder near its front end and by a holder near its rear end. The body tube is supported near its front end by a flexible holder, and it is supported near its rear end by a holder that is adapted to permit vertical movement of the body tube in such a manner as to place the steering wheel in a desired vertical position. The steering wheel is locked in the desired vertical position by a locking system.
