摘要:
A steering column device (1) includes a coupling mechanism (5b) that couples an auxiliary restricting member (64a) with an inner column (4) when a lock mechanism (5) is in a locked position. In operation, when a load exceeding a set value is applied to the inner column (4) in its cylinder-axis direction, the auxiliary restricting member (64a) moves together with the inner column (4) and leaves its engagement with a restricting member (73), so that the restricting member (73) departs from a restricting position where it can be engaged with the inner column (4).
摘要:
In a steering column device, a small-diameter part of an operating shaft on one side of a step part on the operating shaft between a pair of clamp parts penetrates through an impact absorbing slot along a laminating direction. By operating an operating lever, the dimension of cam mechanism in the direction of the operating shaft is increased. Consequently, between the step part and an inner face of the other clamp part, a movable-side friction plate is brought into pressure contact with a stationary-side friction plate to be held. In this situation, when a load exceeding a set value is applied to the steering column device, the movable-side friction plate slides on the stationary-side friction plate to absorb the impact.

When a load exceeding a set value is applied to an inner column (4), rack teeth (54a) moves together with the inner column (4), forward in its cylinder-axis direction. Consequently, a pinion (55) engaging with the rack teeth (54a) rotates about an eccentric cam member (43). The impact energy is absorbed since each winding part (61) rotating together with the pinion (55) winds an impact absorbing member (62).
