Abstract
An electric tilt adjustable steering apparatus for a vehicle for automatically tilt adjusting a steering column by an electric motor so as to regulate an angle of inclination of the steering column to a desired one, includes a tilt adjusting mechanism provided on one side of the steering column for converting a rotational driving force of the electric motor into a rectilinear motion so as to tilt-adjust the steering column, and a slide portion provided on the other side of the steering column to be brought into slidable contact with the stationary side by convex-concave fitting in a substantially triangular form, so as to slide the steering column upon tilt adjusting.
Claims1
An electric tilt adjustable steering apparatus for a vehicle for tilt adjusting a steering column by means of an electric motor so as to regulate an angle of inclination of the steering column to a desired one, comprising:
- a tilt adjusting mechanism provided on one side of said steering column for converting a rotational driving force of said electric motor into a rectilinear motion so as to tilt-adjust the steering column;
- and
- a slide portion provided on another side of said steering column to be brought into slidable contact with a stationary member by convex-concave fitting in a substantially triangular form, so as to slide upon tilt adjusting of the steering column.
