A steering apparatus for a vehicle, adjusting a position of a steering wheel in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body, includes a main tube supported by the vehicle body and having a tubular shape, the main tube including an opening portion being closed in an axial direction of the main tube and extending in the axial direction, a telescopic tube supported by the main tube to be slidable within the main tube, a connecting member firmly attached to the telescopic tube to be movable within the opening portion along the axial direction of the main tube, a drive member connected to the connecting member, and a drive source driving the drive member to move the connecting member in the axial direction.

Steering apparatus for vehicle

A steering device comprises a steering shaft to which a steering wheel is attached, a steering column for housing and supporting the steering shaft so as to be rotatable, a tilt unit for tilting the steering column and the steering shaft, a main bracket fixed to a vehicle side bracket and a pressure applying member provided between the main bracket and the steering column for applying a pressure in one direction to the steering column.

Steering device

A flow rate control device for a pump includes a housing, a choke tubular passageway connected between a pump pressure chamber and an output chamber, a spool valve which is slidably provided in the housing, and which has both ends exposed in the pump pressure chamber and the pressure reducing chamber, respectively, the spool valve causing a pressure medium to flow from the pump pressure chamber into the by-pass port as much as the spool valve slides in an axial direction thereof. In the device, the choke tubular passageway is formed in a central shaft member arranged in the housing, and a sleeve member is provided around the central shaft member, the sleeve member being moved, from the pump pressure chamber towards the pressure reducing chamber, with respect to the central shaft member, in such a manner as to change the opening area of the choke tubular passageway.
