Abstract
A steering device includes an inner column, an outer column, a hanger bracket, and a fixing member. The hanger bracket has a guide hole which extends in the front-rear direction and through which the shaft portion of the fixing member passes. An edge portion of the guide hole is provided with a first region with which the seat portion of the fixing member comes into contact to fix the hanger bracket to the inner column and a second region which is disposed in front of the first region and faces the seat portion when the seat portion is displaced forward together with the inner column by a secondary collision load being input. A frictional restraining force between the seat portion and the edge portion of the guide hole in a state where the seat portion is displaced to a position opposite the second region is set to be smaller than a frictional restraining force between the seat portion and the edge portion of the guide hole at a position where the seat portion faces the first region.
