Abstract
A telescopic safety steering column for motor vehicles which includes a steering wheel displaceable from its normal operating position relative to the outer steering column under energy absorption by the steering wheel and an energy-absorbing support of the outer column at a fixed vehicle part; this support being provided by an undulated tubular member which is arranged parallel to the center longitudinal axis of the safety steering column and is stable as regards its position while the fixing of the outer column is provided in proximity to the steering wheel by a guide strap which becomes ineffectual when the body of a vehicle passenger impinges against the steering wheel.
