Claim Text:
1. A steering column device comprising: a fixed bracket which is fixed to a vehicle body-side member and includes a first plate, wherein a pair of first holes, each of which is an elongated hole extending parallel to a column movement direction at the time of a secondary collision, and which are spaced apart from each other in a direction orthogonal to the column movement direction, are formed in the first plate; a movable jacket which rotatably supports a steering shaft having a steering member connected to one end of the steering shaft; a movable bracket which supports the movable jacket so as to move in the column movement direction along with the movable jacket at the time of the secondary collision and includes a second plate facing the first plate, wherein a pair of second holes respectively facing the pair of first holes are formed in the second plate; a pair of suspension shafts which are inserted into a corresponding first hole and a corresponding second hole, connect the first plate and the second plate, thereby suspending the movable jacket through the movable bracket, and are configured to move along the corresponding first hole at the time of the secondary collision; and a connection and separation mechanism which is disposed only between the pair of first holes in the direction orthogonal to the column movement direction, thereby connecting the second plate to a predetermined position of the first plate, and separates, at the time of the secondary collision, the second plate from the predetermined position in the column movement direction, wherein the connection and separation mechanism includes a resin pin, and the resin pin is provided as one pin or provided as a plurality of pins in a single row lined up in the column movement direction.
