Abstract
To provide a steering column system which has superior operating feeling and operating properties which can suppress an operational failure, an engaging arm is displaced relative to a cam member by an annular member that is deformed elastically. Distal ends of gear teeth are made to shift from each other, making it possible not only to enhance the feeling of the operation lever, but also to facilitate meshing of the gear teeth.
