Abstract
A steering column assembly for motor vehicles, includes a steering wheel, a steering shaft housing unit including a steering shaft that is joined to the steering wheel. The steering shaft housing unit is pivotally connected to a supporting bracket about a first shaft, said supporting bracket being pivotally connected to a vehicle body about a second shaft First and/or second adjusting means adjust the angular position of the steering shaft housing unit relative to the supporting bracket and the angular position of the supporting bracket relative to the vehicle body. A first locking means locks the steering shaft housing unit in a locked position until a kinetic energy transmitted to the steering wheel is less than a threshold value, the first locking means incorporating collapsible means adapted to collapse when the kinetic energy transmitted to the steering wheel is above said threshold value, in which at least a part of the kinetic energy transmitted to the steering wheel is absorbed by the collapsible means.
