With the steering apparatus, a tilt can be adjusted by sliding a column bracket (3), which is fastened to a column housing (2) supporting a steering shaft (1) so as to be rotatable, along tilting apertures (41) provided at side walls of a tilting bracket (4). A contact projection which is projected toward a stopper (5) from a substantially center portion of the column bracket (3) for limiting a tilt angle crashes into the stopper (5) with a slide of the column bracket (3) caused by a secondary crash and pushes the stopper (5) into guiding apertures (41) arranged in an extension to the tilting apertures. The steering apparatus can realize absorption of energy of a secondary crash by increasing a tilt angle always under a proper condition, while high accuracy is unnecessary in shaping related parts. <IMAGE> |
