A shroud guidance mechanism for a steering column is provided. The shroud guidance mechanism includes a bracket operatively coupled to an upper jacket. Also included is an interface feature retained to the bracket in a first condition of the steering column. Further included is a shroud operatively coupled to the interface feature and to the upper jacket, the interface feature, the upper jacket and the shroud moveable with each other to decouple the interface feature from the bracket in a second condition of the steering column.

Shroud guidance mechanism for steering column

A hanger capable of supporting a bag. A first piece of the hanger includes (i) a first body, with a hanger extending upwardly from the body, (ii) a structure extending from a first side of the first body, and (iii) a cleat extending downwardly from a second side of the first body. The cleat includes a plurality of spaced apart cross members each having a neck portion and a head portion. A second piece of the hanger includes a second body that defines a slotted grove groove receptor for the cleat. The slotted groove receptor includes (i) an opening having a first portion and a second portion, with the first portion being wider than the second portion, and (ii) at least one projecting member provided adjacent to the second portion of the opening. The first piece is removably attached to the second piece with the cleat received in the slotted groove receptor.

Hanger

A device and method for a vehicle steering column subassembly having current electronic features (equipment) and integrating such electronic features and additional wireless communication circuits within a common node to reduce over crowding of the electronics within the body of the vehicle, and further integrating an antenna utilized for such wireless communication devices to enhance signal strength. The common node is modularly disposed around the steering column and preferably on top of the steering column proximate a steering handwheel to protrude from the instrument panel and above the vehicle sheet metal to reduce shielding.
