<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To materialize a structure capable of preventing the axial separation of both inner and outer columns 14a and 15a, while being assembled to be mounted to a vehicle body, without increasing a number of components.SOLUTION: An engaging long hole 26 which is long in an axial direction is provided at a front upper part of an outer colum 15a. An engaging piece 28 is integrally formed at a rear upper part of an inner column 14a, and the engaging piece 28 is made to enter the engaging long hole 26 so as to displace along the engaging long hole 26. While assembled to a vehicle body, both inner and outer columns 14a and 15a are permitted to relatively displace within a telescopically adjusting range, on the basis of the displacement of the engaging piece 28 along the engaging long hole 26. In a state before being assembled to the vehicle body, both inner and outer columns 14a and 15a are prevented from separating in an axial direction, on the basis of the engagement between the engaging piece 28 and a front end edge of the engaging long hole 26.</p> |
