PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an impact absorbing steering device which can provide the functions of a guide that do not vary at any time during movement in a releasing direction and so can obtain the desired impact absorption characteristic. SOLUTION: This steering device has a steering device side member 12 connected to a body side member at a load not less than a predetermined value in such a way that it can be released in a releasing direction, and when the steering device side member 12 moves in the releasing direction relative to the body side member, a plate-shaped member 16 which is secured to either the steering device side member 12 or the body side member and extends in the releasing direction is curved and deformed by a pressure means 30 provided on the other member, so that impacts applied to the steering side member 12 are absorbed. In this case, guides 29a to 29d by which the relative movements of the plate-shaped member 16 and the pressure means 30 are specified to take place in the releasing direction are provided in proximity to the respective engaging parts of the plate-shaped member 16 and the pressure means 30. |
