Abstract

PURPOSE:To set long the shock absorbing stroke of a shock absorber by dividing a boss along the axis, and pinching a mounting plate part of the shock absorber with the upper and lower members formed by said division. CONSTITUTION:A boss consists of an upper member 12, which has a serrate hole to engage with serration on a steering shaft, and a lower member 14 having a tapered hole 13 to fit with taper on the steering shaft. A ring-shaped recess for coupling 17 is provided outside a fit projection 15 formed between the undersurface of said upper member 12 and the oversurface of the lower member 14, and a mounting plate part 19 of a shock absorber 18 is pinched at this recess 17. Because said mounting plate part 19 is situated between the upper and lower members 12, 14 of the boss 6, the mounting part 19 is located below the oversurface of the boss 6 to allow the shock absorbing stroke of the shock absorber 18 to be set long.
