<p>When clamped side plates (29,30) of an upper column bracket (movable bracket 18) are fastened via clamping side plates of an upper fixed bracket (19) by a fastening shaft (20) in response to a rotating operation of an operating lever, the brackets are locked with each other. A pressing mechanism (60) that includes a pressing member (62) moves in the axial direction of the fastening shaft (20) in accordance with fastening by the fastening shaft (20), and presses a lower tube (lower tube 12) through an insertion hole (11b) formed in an upper tube (outer tube 11). The entirety of the axial force of the fastening shaft (12) is used as a retaining force for retaining the posture of a steering column.</p> |
