Title:
SHOCK ABSORBING STEERING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5568471
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To obtain a shock absorbing steering which is simple in the structure by deforming a steering column fitting part with plasticity.
CONSTITUTION: A column bracket 2 supports a steering column 3 in U shape, a bore 29 to pass a fitting bolt 13 of its movable end part 24 has U shape. When a passenger hits a steering handle 4, the movable end part 24 displaces ahead together with the column bracket 2, steering column 3, an arresting hardware 5 and a fixed end part 23 remain at their original positions. In consequence, a bent position 27 moves along an energy absorbing part 25, meantime, shock energy is absorbed by plastic deformation. Desired characteristics can be obtained by changing width and length of the energy absorbing part 25.
