Abstract
The tilt position of a steering device can be freely adjusted by changing the engagement position of facing sets of gear teeth. A pair of supporting plates each provided with a circular arc-shaped long hole is attached to the lower part of a steering column, and a shaft is received and freely movable (by operation of a tilt lever) within the long holes. The shaft is movable between positions for engagement and release of the gears, while being supported within the long holes of the plates.
