First Claim
Patent Images
1. A steering column assembly comprising:
- a steering shaft operatively coupled to a steering device, the steering shaft and the steering device having corresponding rotation with each other; and
an anti-rotation assembly selectively and frictionally engaged with an outer surface of the steering shaft to maintain the steering shaft and the steering device in a stationary condition when the steering shaft is rotationally decoupled from road wheels operatively coupled to the steering shaft, wherein the anti-rotation assembly comprises a friction shoe having a contact engagement surface selectively in contact with a contact surface region of an outer circumference of the steering shaft.

8. A steering column assembly comprising:
-
a steering shaft operatively coupled to a steering device, the steering shaft and the steering device having corresponding rotation with each other, the steering device translatable to a retracted position in an autonomous driving mode, the retracted position placing the steering device proximate an instrument panel; and an anti-rotation assembly selectively and frictionally engaged with an outer surface of the steering shaft to maintain the steering shaft and the steering device in a stationary condition when the steering device is in the retracted position, wherein the anti-rotation assembly comprises a friction shoe having a contact engagement surface selectively in contact with a contact surface region of an outer circumference of the steering shaft.
