Abstract
In a steering device according to an aspect of the present disclosure, a lock mechanism includes a rod, a drive cam, and a driven cam. The lock mechanism causes paired side plate portions to approach each other in a right-left direction with a drive base and a driven base being separated from each other in the right-left direction as a cam portion slides on a cam follower portion toward a first side in a circumferential direction and causes the paired side plate portions to be separated from each other in the right-left direction with the drive base and the driven base approaching from each other in the right-left direction as the cam portion slides on the cam follower portion toward a second side in the circumferential direction. A first portion from among the cam portion and the cam follower portion includes a first top portion that comes into contact with a second portion from among the cam portion and the cam follower portion, and a first clearance portion that extends to become farther from the second portion in the right-left direction from the first top portion toward an outer side in a radial direction intersecting a second axis.
