Abstract:
PURPOSE:To sufficiently protect a leg part when the moving quantity of the leg part of a driver is large at the time of an oblique collision by providing opposite projecting parts on the lower part of a steering column, providing an opening toward the outside of vehicle from a column center, and making the rigidity of the part smaller than that of the part toward the inside of vehicle. CONSTITUTION:A projecting plate 25 is joined to a base plate 24 the upper end part of which is installed to the lower part of an instrument panel and, further, a reinforcing plate 26 is joined to the projecting plate 25. And, a steering column is placed on a cut-out part 27 and an opposite projecting part is formed on the lower part of the column. A crescent projecting part 41 which is projected toward a driver's seat side is formed on the reinforcing plate 26, and an opening 42 is provided on a part toward the outside of vehicle of the part 41 with a steering column positioning part as the reference (left side position in the case of left side steering handle), lowering the rigidity of that part than that on the part toward the inside of vehicle. Thereby, the legs of a driver can be protected when the moving quantity of the legs of the driver is large at the time of an oblique collision.
