ABSTRACT:
A cable-type steering device in which a steering wheel and a gear box are connected to each other by wires includes a relatively simple structure to effectively buffer road surface reaction torques which may be inputted from the vehicle wheels. An outer tube of a Bowden wire is slidably supported at its end in a wire penetration bore defined in a housing. The end of the outer tube is biased outwardly from the housing by a coil spring. An inner cable slidably accommodated in the outer tube is connected at its end to a pulley rotatably accommodated in the housing. If a large road surface reaction load is applied from wheels via gear box to the pulley, the outer tube is moved in unison with the inner cable, while compressing the coil spring, thereby preventing the road surface reaction load from being transmitted to a steering wheel.
