Abstract
A telescopic steering column apparatus has a press member for face-to-face abutment or a pair of lock members for two-point abutment and a toggle mechanism which is extended to a straight state and retracted to a bent state so that the length of the toggle mechanism is lengthened in the straight state and shortened in the bent state whereby the toggle mechanism acts as a wedge in the straight state for the face-to-face abutment or the two-point abutment.
