Adjustable steering column assembly having an attached instrument cluster

A steering column assembly (20, 120, 220) includes a rake adjustment mechanism (34, 134, 234), and is attached to a vehicle by a mounting bracket (26, 126, 236). A rake bracket (28, 128, 228) is coupled to the mounting bracket (26, 126, 226). A column jacket (24, 124, 224) is collapsible in response...

description A steering column assembly (20, 120, 220) includes a rake adjustment mechanism (34, 134, 234), and is attached to a vehicle by a mounting bracket (26, 126, 236). A rake bracket (28, 128, 228) is coupled to the mounting bracket (26, 126, 226). A column jacket (24, 124, 224) is collapsible in response to an emergency event and is supported by the mounting bracket (26, 126, 226) and the rake bracket (28, 128, 228), and is rotationally moveable with the rake bracket (28, 128, 228) about a rake axis (R) relative to the mounting bracket (26, 126, 226). An instrument cluster (38, 138, 238) is coupled to the rake bracket (28, 128, 228) for movement along with the rake bracket (28, 128, 228) and the column jacket (24, 124, 224) to prevent obstruction of the instrument cluster (38, 138, 238) by a steering wheel (36, 136, 236) upon re-positioning the steering wheel (36, 136, 236), while not restricting movement of the column jacket (24, 124, 234) during collapse of the column jacket (24, 124, 234) in response to the emergency event. A dynamic absorber (44, 144, 244) interconnects the instrument cluster (38, 138, 238) and the rake bracket (28, 128, 228) to reduce vibration of the steering column assembly (20, 120, 220) caused by additional weight of the instrument cluster (38, 138, 238).
