Abstract: A steering column device has an inner column; an outer column combined with the inner column and having a slit extending in the axial direction, the inner column and the outer column configuring a telescopic steering column; a release bracket arranged inside the slit of the outer column and supported by and fixed to the inner column; a support bracket joined to the release bracket so as to be able to detach due to an impact load that is applied to the inner column during a secondary collision; and a telescopic friction plate having a function to increase a holding force for holding the steering column with respect to a vehicle-body-side bracket and supported by the support bracket.

Abstract: A steering apparatus 200 comprises an outer column 10 provided with a guide groove portion 25, an inner column 11 provided with a stopper 300, and a steering shaft 3 on which a steering wheel 101 is attached. An adjustable range of a telescopic position of the steering wheel 101 is restricted by the stopper 300 being contacted with a portion, at a rear side of the vehicle, of the guide groove portion 25. The stopper 300 includes a stopper body 331 and a fastening and connecting means 332 for fixing the stopper body 331 to the inner column 11. The stopper body 331 and the inner column 11 are formed, respectively, with through-holes 331c and 11a communicated with each other, through which the fastening and connecting means 332 is inserted. With this configuration, a steering apparatus in which the stopper can be easily attached to the inner column is provided.
