    摘要: A steering column assembly includes a column jacket provided with upper and lower jacket tubes telescopically coupled with each other for supporting therein a steering shaft rotatably. The column jacket is mounted tiltably on a vehicle body by upper and lower clamps and received between sidewalls of the upper clamp through distance brackets. One of the distance brackets includes lock protrusions that face the outer surface of the upper jacket tube, while the other includes support protrusions that face the outer surface of the lower jacket tube. When an operation lever is set to a lock position, the sidewalls is caused to press the distance brackets against the column jacket with the lock protrusions pushed on the upper jacket tube and the support protrusions pushed on the lower jacket tube. In this state, the column jacket is prevented from tilting and telescoping.

    摘要: A shock-absorbing tilt type steering column is disclosed. An upper clamp includes a first side wall and a second side wall formed respectively with a first hole and a second hole. A coupler is inserted into the first and second holes. The first and second side walls have such a height that lower ends are disposed on a level with or above a lowermost section of a column jacket when the coupler is disposed in uppermost positions of the first and second holes. A distance bracket coupling with the column jacket is so sandwiched between the first and second side walls as to move upward and downward, and engages with the coupler in such a manner as to disengage from the coupler when a load over an upper limit is applied in a direction along the column jacket. An energy absorber is interposed between the distance bracket and the coupler.
