Title:
RACK SHAFT SUPPORT DEVICE AND VEHICLE STEERING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010023772
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a rack shaft support device surely suppressing generation of rattling noise.

An intermediate member 20 rotatable around a central axis C1 of a holding hole 16 is disposed between a support yoke 18 slidingly contacting the rack shaft 8 and a sealing member 19. The amount of torsion of a torsion coil spring 21 connecting the sealing member 19 and the intermediate member 20 in the direction of rotation of the intermediate member 20 is precisely adjusted by adjusting the screwing position of an adjustment screw 22 with respect to the sealing member 19. The torsion coil spring 21 rotates the intermediate member 20 as abrasion proceeds on a sliding portion between the support yoke 18 and the rack shaft 8. A cam mechanism 23 provided between opposing parts of the sealing member 19 and the intermediate member 20 drives the intermediate member 20 toward the support yoke 18.
