PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shock-absorption steering apparatus capable of absorbing impact with a simple structure regardless of a driving condition. SOLUTION: A support pin 11 for controlling the pull out load to an energy absorption plate 17 corresponding to its rotation is provided with a retainer. A slider is also provided, which can or cannot abut the retainer by moving up and down along with the drive of a motor 13. When the body weight of a driver is a reference weight or more, the rotation of the support pin 11 is restricted by driving the motor 13 so as to allow the slider to abut the retainer. When the body weight is less than the reference weight, the support pin 11 is enabled to rotate by driving the motor 13 so as to separate the slider from the retainer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
