<p>Construction is achieved wherein a steering wheel can displace smoothly in the forward direction during a secondary collision, even when an electric motor 13a of an electric power steering apparatus protrudes to the side. Members are located between a pair of left and right installation plate sections 17c, which are provided on a bracket 10c on the column side that is supported by a steering column 6c, and a portion that is fastened to the vehicle body, and connected and fastened to both of these; and by making the rigidity or friction coefficient of these members different from each other, the load required for the installation plate sections 17c to drop away toward the front from the portion fastened to the vehicle body is made to be large on the side far from the electric motor 13a and less on the side near to the electric motor 13a. Therefore, the tendency for the dropping away toward the front on the side where the electric motor 13, having a large inertial mass, is located, being difficult, is cancelled out by the ease of the dropping away of the installation plate section 17a.</p> |
