Abstract
A tilt type steering column device comprises a stationary bracket 7 having a protrusion 8 on one side thereof, a tilt lever 11 provided on the one side of the stationary bracket, a tilt bolt 9 extending through the stationary bracket 7, a rotating plate 6 provided between the stationary bracket 7 and the tilt lever 11 so as to rotate around the tilt bolt 9 and having stepped-portions on an outer periphery, and a biasing spring 5 engaged with the tilt lever 11 and the rotating plate 6 to bias the rotating plate 6, so that one of the stepped portions is engaged with the protrusion 8, thereby preventing the steering column from erroneously moving upon impact.
