Abstract: In a tilt handle, including a steering shaft, supported by a sleeve the lower end of which is pivotably provided so as to adjust an inclination angle of the tilt handle with relation to a car body, a device for adjusting the inclination angle of the tilt handle includes a stationary bracket, a movable bracket and spring means therebetween, the stationary bracket being positioned at a proper portion of the car body. The movable bracket is located at a suitable portion of the sleeve and is movable within the stationary bracket. The spring means is provided for energizing the sleeve to move upwardly.
