Claims

[Scope of utility model registration request]

A fixing bracket is attached to the support bracket of the vehicle body, an opening is formed in the fixing bracket, and a column tube containing a steering shaft, which acts as a relay for transmitting the rotation of the steering wheel to the steering gear, is inserted into the opening. A plastically deformable U-shaped energy absorbing plate is interposed between the hole and the column tube, one end of the plate is fixed to the fixing bracket, and the other end of the plate is fixed to the column tube, A collision energy absorbing device characterized in that both ends of the plate are brought into surface contact with each other between an opening hole and a column tube.
