<p>The present invention pertains to a structure for supporting portions in two sites in the axial direction of a cable (38) of an electrical component, the portions between supported between an energy-absorbing member (35) near an inner column (9a) and a cable supporting bracket (52) near an outer column (10a), the cable (38) being capable of minimizing resistance against frontward displacement a steering wheel accompanying a secondary impact. The energy-absorbing member (35) has a supporting plate part (46) in which a portion thereof is displaced downward during a secondary impact. A portion of a medial part between the portions in two sites in the axial direction of the cable (38) is supported by the supporting plate part (46). The medial part of the cable (38) bends under downward displacement accompanying deformation of the supporting plate part (46) during a secondary impact. Consequently, axial stiffening of the cable (38) is suppressed during a secondary impact.</p> |
