PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure capable of facilitating management of parts and assembly work and absorbing shock energy when secondary collision occurs effectively. SOLUTION: A stopper plate 21 fixed to a steering column 2 to prevent a steering wheel from being raised upward when primary collision occurs and an energy absorbing member 23 for absorbing shock energy when secondary collision occurs are formed by one metallic plate. Width of the energy absorbing member 23 becomes larger as advancing toward a rear part. When secondary collision occurs, displacement into a front part of the steering column 2 is allowed while handling the energy absorbing member 23 by both inner side faces of a recessed part provided in a central part of a lower face of a mounting plate part 15 constituting a supporting bracket 3a.
