Abstract:
1. A steering device comprising: a tubular steering shaft to which a steering wheel is fixed at a rear end side thereof, and which extends in a front-rear direction; a tubular outer pipe disposed coaxially with and on an outer side of the steering shaft; a bearing which fits over a first front end portion of the steering shaft, fits into a second front end portion of the outer pipe, and causes the steering shaft to be rotatable with respect to the outer pipe; and a front body disposed in front of the bearing in an axial direction, wherein the steering shaft, the outer pipe, and the bearing move forward in an integrated manner when a secondary collision occurs, a first space into which the steering shaft is capable of being inserted is formed on a radially inner side of the front body, a second space into which the outer pipe is capable of being inserted is formed on a radially outer side of the front body, and the steering device further comprising a release mechanism which releases a relative restraint between the bearing, the first front end portion, and the second front end portion in the axial direction in a case where the bearing collides with the front body during the secondary collision.
