PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an impact absorbing type steering column device capable of smoothly releasing a steering column from a lower bracket while absorbing a collision energy at the time of secondary collision.SOLUTION: At the time of secondary collision, a steering column 1 collapses and moves to a front part of a vehicle, and at this time a car body side bracket 42a and a fixing shaft member 53a are standing still, meanwhile, a column side lower bracket 41 tends to move to the front part of the vehicle together with the steering column 1. As a result, while absorbing impact energy by a slot portion 45a, the width of which gradually decreases as advances to the rear part of the vehicle, of the column side lower bracket 41, the steering column 1 is smoothly released from the car body side bracket 42a. |
