The tilting type steering apparatus is also provided with a shaft which presses the engaging member to allow the first teeth to engage the second teeth. Further a distance between the center of pivoting and the shaft pressing point is made to be more than 1.5 times as long as a distance between the center of pivoting and the center of engagement of the engaged.
