Abstract
Provided is a steering column system capable of firmly holding a jacket during a normal condition and securing a larger movement stroke for the jacket when an excessive impact force is applied. To this end, when a clamp bolt () is fastened, sliding contact portions () are pressed to abutment parts (), respectively. Thus, a jacket () is firmly clamped to and held by a mount bracket (). When a force in excess of a predetermined value is applied to the jacket () in its axial direction, shear portions () break, and thereby a restraint imposed on a movement range by restraint portions () is lifted. This contracts the jacket ().
