Abstract

In a steering device having an expansion and contraction-durable, flexible inner wire of a control cable, one end of which is fastened to an outer peripheral surface of a disc drive member rotatably mounted in a casing, the inner wire is fitted into an annular groove provided in the periphery of the drive member, and in a gap between the periphery of the drive member and the inner surface of the casing there is placed a series of bearings located or pivoted by a prescribed length of a flexible separator and having an engaging means capable of engaging with the inner wire or the drive member only in the direction of winding the inner wire. As a result of this construction, the steering device can be lightly operated regardless of the direction of rotation of a steering wheel.
