STEERING DEVICE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/080845

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Provided is a steering device comprising: a key lock collar (5) fitted to the exterior of a steering shaft (2), the rotation of said key lock collar being limited by a steering lock mechanism when steering lock is implemented; and a cylindrical slip ring (7) interposed in the radial direction between the steering shaft (2) and the key lock collar (5). The slip ring (7) comprises a plurality of protruding parts (8) in the circumferential direction which protrude outwards or inwards in the radial direction. By forming large diameter parts (10a) and small diameter parts (10b) in the axial direction section of the steering shaft (2), said section being covered by the slip ring (7), the slip torque of the key lock collar (5) is made more stable, and the dimensional tolerance range of the steering device is expanded.
