Abstract
A securing device for temporarily limiting movement of a universal joint of a steering column may include a locking element that extends in a longitudinal direction and has a free front end at a front as seen in the longitudinal direction. A handling means may be fitted at a rear of the locking element as seen in the longitudinal direction. The locking element may have a blocking body, and first and second positioning elements that are disposed on opposite sides of the blocking body and extend in the longitudinal direction adjacent to the blocking body. The positioning elements may be resilient relative to the blocking body in a transverse direction that is transverse to the longitudinal direction. The positioning elements help simplify installation and improve protection against damage.
