To provide a hole cover and a steering device provided with the same by which whether a seal member is assembled correctly or not can be checked easily.SOLUTION: A hole cover 15 includes a cylindrical fitting member 31 which is fitted to a cylindrical part 12 of a rack housing 5, and an annular seal member 32 which is arranged on an inner peripheral side of the fitting member 31. The fitting member 31 includes a cover side fitting part 54 fitting to a housing side fitting part 21, a cover side sandwiching part 55 which sandwiches the seal member 32 axially with the housing side sandwiching part 22, and a cover part 56 which covers an outer circumference of the seal member 32. An opening part 61 passing through an inside and outside of the cover part is formed on the cover part 56. The opening part 61 is formed so as to expose the seal member 32 to an external in a state that fitting of the fitting member 31 to the cylindrical part 12 is completed when a fitting length of the cover side fitting part 54 to the housing side fitting part 21 becomes a predetermined fitting length which is previously determined, and the hole cover is not mounted on a vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4
【課題】シール部材が正しく組み付けられているかを容易に確認できるホールカバー及びこれを備えたステアリング装置を提供する。【解決手段】ホールカバー15は、ラックハウジング5の筒状部12に嵌合される円筒状の嵌合部材31と、嵌合部材31の内周側に配置される円環状のシール部材32とを備える。嵌合部材31は、ハウジング側嵌合部21に嵌合するカバー側嵌合部54と、ハウジング側挟持部22との間でシール部材32を軸方向に挟み込むカバー側挟持部55と、シール部材32の外周を覆う被覆部56とを備える。被覆部56には、その内外を貫通する開口部61が形成され、開口部61は、カバー側嵌合部54のハウジング側嵌合部21に対する嵌合長さが予め定められた所定嵌合長さとなることにより嵌合部材31の筒状部12への嵌合が完了し、かつ車両への搭載がされていない状態で、シール部材32が外部に露出するように形成される。【選択図】図4
