Description

ABSTRACT:
A tilt steering device has an upper bracket and a lower bracket. The upper bracket has downwardly extending side plates on the opposite sides thereof and overlapping portions of upwardly extending side plates on the lower bracket. An angle limiting device couples the upper bracket tiltably with the lower bracket, and a first spring urges the upper bracket toward an upper-most position. A rod is supported for rotation and axial movement by the side plates of one of the brackets. A connecting arm is fixed to the rod and extends adjacent to one of the side plates of the other bracket. An operating lever is connected to the rod so as to be capable of imparting to the rod rotation and axial movement resisting biasing force of a second spring which urges the connecting arm axially of the rod toward the one side plates. A selecting device is provided on said one bracket. The selecting device is provided with a plurality of portions arranged at radial positions entered at the center of rotation of the rod with predetermined selected angles therebetween to engage an engaging portion of one of the rod and the operating lever. The connecting arm has a coupling protrusion at the other end thereof. The side plate of the other bracket which is adjacent to the connecting arm is provided with a plurality of coupling holes capable of mating with the coupling protrusion of the connecting arm.
