Title:
STEERING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/064344
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A steering device is provided with: friction plates (23, 24a, 24b) which are clamped together by a fastening mechanism acting in cooperation with both a clamp section and a vehicle body-side bracket (6); and a circular ring member (20) fitted over an inner column (3) and joined to the friction plates (23, 24a, 24b). The circular ring member (20) and the inner column (3) have through-holes (20a, 3a) formed therein, the through-holes (20a, 3a) being located near the joint section where the friction plates (23, 24a, 24b) and the circular ring member (20) are joined and extending through the circular ring member (20) and the inner column (3). The circular ring member (20) and the inner column (3) are joined by a pin (21) inserted into the through-holes (20a, 3a). The joint between the circular ring member (20) and the inner column (3) is separated when the pin (21) is subjected to a predetermined impact force and broken, and consequently, a low release load can be more stably obtained.
