Abstract: In a rack and pinion type steering apparatus whose housing includes a pinion accommodating portion, a rack accommodating portion, a radial opening defining a rack guide hole, and a projecting portion which is formed on the side of the rack accommodating portion opposite the rack guide hole. The radial opening is covered by a plug that is fixed by swaging. The projecting portion has a contact surface being received on a jig when the plug is fixed to the housing by swaging. Therefore, the reaction of the swaging from the jig does not directly affect the pinion accommodating portion.

Abstract translation: 在其壳体包括小齿轮容纳部分的齿条和小齿轮型转向装置中，齿条容纳部分，限定齿条引导孔的径向开口和形成在齿条容纳部分的与齿条引导孔相对的一侧的突出部分 。 径向开口由通过型锻固定的塞子覆盖。 当插头通过锻造固定到壳体时，突出部分具有容纳在夹具上的接触表面。 因此，来自夹具的型锻的反应不直接影响小齿轮容纳部。
