Claim:
1. A steering device comprising: a stationary bracket which is fixed to a vehicle body-side member, and which includes a first plate; a movable jacket which is configured to rotatably support a steering shaft in which a steering member is coupled to one end; a movable bracket which is configured to support the movable jacket in a manner that, in a secondary collision, the movable bracket is moved together with the movable jacket in a column movement direction, and which includes a second plate that is opposed to the first plate; and a pair of suspension mechanisms which include a pair of suspension shafts that couple the first plate and the second plate to each other while being passed through long holes which are a pair of first holes that are disposed in the first plate and that extend parallel to the column movement direction, and a pair of second holes of the second plate, the second holes respectively corresponding to the long holes, thereby suspending the movable jacket through the movable bracket, wherein a long-hole passing portion of each of the suspension shafts is moved, in a secondary collision, from an initial installed position along the corresponding long hole in the column movement direction, wherein an inner circumference of each of the long holes includes: a recessed curved surface portion which is disposed in an end portion in a direction opposite to the column movement direction; a first inner edge portion which is an inner edge portion on a side of a middle position between the pair of long holes; and a second inner edge portion which is opposed to the first inner edge portion, and, in a secondary collision, when one of the suspension shafts butts against the first inner edge portion of a corresponding one of the long holes, a gap is formed between the other suspension shaft and the second inner edge portion of the corresponding other long hole.
