ABSTRACT:
A tilt adjustable type steering apparatus for a vehicle is constructed such that a rear column member is connected in a swayable manner within an on-driving tilt adjustable range to a front column member fixed to a car body, a fixed gear provided on one of the front column member and the rear column member is engaged with a movable gear provided on the other of the front column member and the rear column member when fixing the rear column member to a tilt adjusted position, and the two fixed and movable gears are disengaged from each other by swaying the movable gear when releasing the rear column member from the tilt adjusted position. The same apparatus includes a spring and/or a lock mechanism, which enables the rear column member to be tilted up to an upper predetermined position in excess of the on-driving tilt adjustable range and holds in this position the rear column member tilted up to the predetermined position.
