Abstract:
There is provided a steering system that can absorb an increased total amount of shock at a time of a secondary collision. A steering member is connected to one end of an upper jacket in a column axial direction. A lower jacket is externally fitted with the other end of the upper jacket in the column axial direction so as to be slidable with respect to the upper jacket. The lower jacket is supported by a support member fixed to a vehicle body. At the time of a secondary collision, a first sliding member generates a first resistive force by performing first relative sliding with respect to the upper jacket, and a second sliding member which is moved together with the first sliding member in the column axial direction generates a second resistive force by performing second relative sliding with respect to the support member and the lower jacket.

Claim (Index 1):
A steering system comprising:\n an upper jacket, to one end of which in a column axial direction a steering member is connected; a lower jacket externally fitted with the other end of the upper jacket in the column axial direction so as to be slidable with respect to the upper jacket; a support member fixed to a vehicle body to support the lower jacket; a first resistive force generation unit that generates a first resistive force by performing first relative sliding with respect to the upper jacket when the upper jacket is moved with respect to the lower jacket at a time of a secondary collision; and a second resistive force generation unit that is moved together with the first resistive force generation unit in the column axial direction, and that generates a second resistive force by performing second relative sliding with respect to at least one of the support member and the lower jacket when the upper jacket is moved with respect to the lower jacket at the time of a secondary collision.
