Steering column frame, in particular of a vehicle, and steering column assembly with such a frame

摘要

The steering column body (1) has an aperture for the passage of a lock bolt (3), with the lock itself situated inside a theft-resistant housing (4). The housing has two tongues (6,7) on its end fixed to the body, the tongues being bent inwards so that their ends are aligned with the edges of the bolt aperture (2), reinforcing the body at that point. The tongues are made by cuts in the housing and bent inwards, and their ends are welded to the edges of the bolt aperture.
