Abstract:
1. A steering device comprising: a steering shaft that is rotatably and axially supported by a column and is attachable to a steering wheel toward a vehicle body rear; a steering lock apparatus that is attached to the column and allows a lock pin operated by an ignition key operation to engage with the steering shaft and lock the steering shaft; a flange section that is formed integrally with the column so as to protrude from an outer periphery of the column outward along a radial direction and includes a mounting surface for mounting a housing for encasing the steering lock apparatus; a slant plane that is formed on the flange section opposite the mounting surface and is shaped so as to gradually increase a flange section thickness along a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the column from outside along the radial direction to the outer periphery of the column; a bolt that fastens the housing for encasing the steering lock apparatus to the mounting surface of the flange section; and a counterbore that is formed in the flange section toward the slant plane and is deep such that a top end of the bolt head section is below the slant plane.
