ABSTRACT:
A tilt type steering device comprises an upper bracket provided on an upper column rotatably supporting a upper shaft, a lower bracket provided on a lower column fitted on a lower shaft and having side plates partly overlapping the side plates of the upper bracket, angle limiting mechanism for making the upper bracket tiltable in a predetermined angle range first biasing member for biasing the upper bracket so that the upper bracket tilts in a jumped-up tilt limit direction, a rod member rotatably and axially movably supported by the other portion of the side plate of one of the upper and lower brackets than the overlapping portion, a connecting member fixed to the rod member adjacent to the side plate of the remaining bracket, and having coupling holes, second biasing member for biasing the connecting member axially of the rod member so that the connecting member is urged toward the side plate of the remaining bracket, an operating member for imparting to the rod member rotation and axial movement, selector mechanism provided on the one bracket. The selector mechanism is provided with plural restraining portions around the center of rotation of the rod member with a predetermined selected angle therebetween. An engaging portion is provided on the rod member or the operating member and restrained by one of the restraining portions, and a coupling projection is provided on the side plate of the remaining bracket adjacent to the connecting member and capable of fitting in the coupling holes.
