Abstract
A clamp mechanism for a steering column assembly includes a support bracket; a clamp pin; a fixing member; and a toothed rack. The toothed rack includes a plurality of recesses each spaced from an adjacent recess by a land and extends alongside the elongate slot. A locking pin is located in a bore in the fixing member that is biased in a direction towards the toothed rack by a spring and a clamp means which may cause the fixing member to move between a clamped condition and unclamped condition.
