<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a steering column device, which switches a rotor and a stator between a coupled state and a decoupled state, to be installed even in a small space. <P>SOLUTION: The steering column device includes: a non-rotatably fixed stator; a rotor coupled to a steering wheel so as to be rotatable with respect to the stator; and a coupling body that switches the rotor and the stator into the coupled state or into the decoupled state. A mounting hole including a curved part is formed in a rotor in order to store the coupling body in the rotor. The coupling body is formed with an operating rod, facing the steering wheel, and a coupling rod, facing the stator, which are respectively made of different members. The operating rod and the coupling rod are joined to each other in the mounting hole. The part of the coupling body located at the curved part of the mounting hole is made flexible. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
