A supporting structure is provided for a steering gear (4) of an automobile. The supporting structure includes a mechanical converting means for converting a crashing force into downward movement of the steering gear (4) which is connected to a steering wheel (40) of the automobile. The crashing force is generated upon a head-on collision of the automobile and the same force is applied to the front end of the automobile. The supporting structure is characterized that the steering gear (4) is mounted adjacent to the front end of the automobile and that the converting means (2, 3) is so designed that the crashing force is transmitted to lower the steering gear (4) thus mounted adjacent to the front end of the automobile. <IMAGE> |
