Title:
STEERING COLUMN SUPPORT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/158787
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a structure which does not lead to increased height, which prevents a steering column (6a) from falling even if during second impact the steering column (6a) is displaced in the forward direction, and which, notwithstanding, ensures the function which allows smooth displacement of the steering column (6a) in the forward direction during second impact. The disclosed steering column support device is provided with a non-falling side bracket (45) fixed to the vehicle body, and a pair of bolts (47), a pair of support capsules (16a), and a falling side bracket (46) supported by the steering column (6a). During second impact, the supporting force of the support capsules (16a) against the non-falling side bracket (45) is lost, and the steering column (6a) is displaced in the forward direction along with the bolts (47) and support capsules (16a) and the falling side bracket (46), but the steering column (6a) does not fall off the non-falling side bracket (45).
