STEERING GEAR FOR VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely suppress rotation around a shaft of the steering shaft without preventing travel in the direction of shaft length of the steering shaft. SOLUTION: A flat face 15 is provided in a part of outer periphery of the steering shaft 11 supported inside a housing H1and moving in the direction of shaft length for steering, and a roller 40 as a rotation suppressing member is rotatably supported around the shaft crossing the steering shaft 11 substantially orthogonally in a halfway part of the housing H1corresponding to the flat face 15. The roller 40 is brought into rolling contact with the flat face 15 to suppress rotation around the shaft of the steering shaft 11 and allow travel in the direction of shaft length of the steering shaft 11 by rolling of the roller 40 on the flat face 15.
