PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steering device with excellent operationality capable of preventing the deviation of an axial center of a steering shaft. SOLUTION: Displacement of fixing members 16, 17 along a tilt groove 12a can be prevented since an outer column 21 is held between a tension member 13 and a bracket 12 by operating a lever L. Displacement of fixing members 16, 17 along a telescopic groove 11a can be prevented since an inner column 11 is held to the bracket 12 through the outer column 21. Thereby, a steering shaft S is fixed in a tilt direction and a telescopic direction. Since the bracket 12 applies pressing force to the inner column 11 through flange parts 21c, 21d of the outer column 21 by operating the lever L, the inner column 11 receives the pressing force in an opposite direction to a direction in which the tension member 13 approaches. Since the rigidity of a pair of brackets 12 is almost equal, the center position of the inner column 11 can be maintained almost constantly. Therefore, the deviation of an axial center of the steering shaft S can be suppressed effectively. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
