ABSTRACT:
A collapsible steering mechanism is structured with a pair of telescopically interfitting support tubes having a shock absorbing tube located coaxially therebetween. A plurality of bearing balls are provided on both ends of the shock absorbing tube for engagement between the support tubes with the diameter of the bearing balls being larger than the wall thickness of the shock absorbing tube to enable desired collapse of the support tubes when an impact force is applied thereto.
