A steering device includes an inner column, an outer column, a hanger bracket, and a fixing member. The hanger bracket has a guide hole which extends in the front-rear direction and through which the shaft portion of the fixing member passes. An edge portion of the guide hole is provided with a first region with which the seat portion of the fixing member comes into contact to fix the hanger bracket to the inner column and a second region which is disposed in front of the first region and faces the seat portion when the seat portion is displaced forward together with the inner column by a secondary collision load being input. A frictional restraining force between the seat portion and the edge portion of the guide hole in a state where the seat portion is displaced to a position opposite the second region is set to be smaller than a frictional restraining force between the seat portion and the edge portion of the guide hole at a position where the seat portion faces the first region.

A steering device includes an inner column, an outer column, a hanger bracket, and a fixing member. The hanger bracket has a guide hole which extends in the front-rear direction and through which the shaft portion of the fixing member passes. An edge portion of the guide hole of the hanger bracket is provided with a fixing portion and a gradually increasing resistance portion. The seat portion of the fixing member comes into contact with the fixing portion to fix the hanger bracket to the inner column. The gradually increasing resistance portion is disposed in front of the fixing portion and gradually increases frictional resistance between the fixing member and the hanger bracket according to forward displacement of the fixing member when the fixing member is displaced forward together with inner column by a secondary collision load being input to the steering shaft.

A left-side side plate is integrally formed downward from an inner end of a left-side upper plate, and a right-side side plate is integrally formed downward from an inner end of a right-side upper plate. A front end of the left-side side plate and a front end of the right-side side plate are connected by a connection upper plate, and the left-side side plate, the connection upper plate, and the right-side side plate are formed continuously and integrally. A total length of the left-side upper plate and the right-side upper plate is formed shorter than a total length of the left-side side plate and the right-side side plate. The length totaling the left-side upper plate and the right-side upper plate is formed substantially equal to the length of the connection upper plate, and all of these members are press worked of a single metal plate.

A steering device including a steering column supporting a steering shaft to be coupled to a steering wheel. The steering column is sandwiched between a bracket including a first support plate and a second support plate with a tightening shaft penetrating the first support plate and the second support plate and including a male thread at an end of the tightening shaft on a side close to the second support plate having a nut attached thereon. An operation lever is disposed between the nut and the second support plate and penetrated by the tightening shaft. A case including a bottom surface facing an end surface of the tightening shaft is attached to the operation lever, and a coil spring coming into contact with the bottom surface and the tightening shaft.

A tilt structure allows the tilt of a console to be changed through simple motion and has a simple configuration. The tilt structure includes: a second frame attached to an upper portion of a first frame and is swingable upward and downward; and a control member attached to the second frame and is tiltable backward and forward through a tilting shaft. The control member includes a guide part with a groove housing a first frame pin. A locked and unlocked state switch to each other by causing the control member to tilt. The locked state includes a pin engaged with any of the engagement parts. The unlocked state includes the pin disengaged. The tilt of the second frame relative to the first frame is changed by engaging the pin with an arbitrary engagement part of any of the engagement parts and changing a distance between the tilting shaft and pin.

A steering apparatus of a smart mobility vehicle includes: a cockpit module disposed in front of a driver seat and a passenger seat within a vehicle; a steering wheel part connected to the cockpit module, and switchable between a position toward the driver seat and a position toward the passenger seat in a longitudinal direction of the cockpit module; and a locking part to fix the steering part according to a preset condition. The cockpit module includes a first flat section disposed in front of the driver seat and a second flat section disposed in front of the passenger seat; and a locking section curved upward to connect the first flat section and the second flat section.
