Universal joint assembly
A universal joint assembly includes a yoke including a serration hole to receive an end portion of a steering column and a bolt-hole to receive a bolt which is used to restrict the steering column received in the serration hole, and a misassembly prevention member coupled to the yoke and elastically movable from a first position in which the bolt-hole is at least partially blocked to a second position in which the bolt-hole is opened, thereby preventing a misassembly of the steering column and improving safety and reliability of the universal joint assembly.
CLAMPING SEAT OF TELESCOPIC ROD
A clamping seat of the telescopic rod comprises a pipe seat, a movable clamp and a fixed clamp. The pipe seat comprises an inner pipe space and an outer pipe space to insert the inner pipe and the outer pipe. The pipe seat comprises a side opening beside the inner pipe space and a side space beside the outer pipe space. The movable clamp comprises an arc block beside the side opening, and a screwing member pressing the arc block into the inner pipe space then to press and fix the inner pipe. The fixed clamp comprises a clamping plate in the side space, and a tightening bolt pressing the pipe seat against the clamping plate, allowing the clamping plate to press the outer pipe. Accordingly, the arc block and the clamping plate contact the pipes in a large area to avoid local deformation and prevent damaged together.

Torque transmission shaft
The torque transmission shaft includes: a shaft that is integrally formed and that has a yoke provided at one end portion in the axial direction and a female serration provided on the inner peripheral surface at the other end in the axial direction; and a clamp that is separate from the shaft and that is capable of reducing the diameter of the other end portion of the shaft in the axial direction; wherein the shaft and the clamp are fixed together.

Side lock sleeve assembly
A side lock sleeve assembly includes: a first tube, a sleeve having a first coupling portion defining a first receiving space for sleeving over the first tube, wherein a hole is formed on the first coupling portion at a position between a center of the first receiving space and an outer surface of the sleeve; and a fastening screw having an operation section and an extension section, wherein a diameter of the screw gradually decreases from the operation section toward the extension section such that threadedly extension of the extension section through the hole to retain the extension section between the sleeve and the first tube and such that threadedly insertion of the extension section of the screw through the hole results in a threaded fitting portion on an outer surface of the first tube complementing with the extension section, thereby snugly receiving the extension section of the screw therein.
