Steering Apparatus

摘要

A steering apparatus capable of easily and sufficiently mitigating rattles and rattling sounds during a positional adjustment of a steering wheel without affecting the operability of a pivot lever is provided.;A steering apparatus 1 can move a column 20 that holds a shaft of a steering wheel H with respect to a vehicle body to adjust a tilt position and a telescopic position of the steering wheel H. The steering apparatus 1 includes: a pivot lever 123 for unclamping and unclamping the column 20 with respect to the vehicle body; a movable cam 121 and a fixed cam 120 that clamp and unclamp the column 20 by changing a turn of the pivot lever 123 into an axial movement of said turn; a sleeve 122 that holds the movable cam 121 and slides against the movable cam 121 when the pivot lever 123 is turned; and a ring spring 125 that presses the sleeve 122 against the sliding surface of the movable cam 121.
