ABSTRACT:
A steering shaft is supported for tilting-up and tilting-down movements by a pivot mechanism, which includes a base member fixed to a steering hanger in an instrument panel, on arm member pivotably supported on the base member through a fulcrum pin, and holder which support the steering shaft on the arm member. When the steering shaft is pulled forwards and downwards as a result of collision of the vehicle, the end of the forward and downward turning of the arm member is inhibited by the contact of a ceiling wall of the arm member with a stopper face of a stopper, thereby preventing tilting-up of the steering shaft.
