US Patent 10486731 Steering apparatus

A stopper bracket (40) is fixed to an inner pipe (13) at a location between the pair of clamp parts (23 and 23). The hanger bracket (50) is assembled with the stopper bracket (40), and a pair of side plates (51 and 51) of the hanger bracket (50) are interposed between the pair of clamp parts (23 and 23) and the pair of outer column support parts (11a and 11a). The guide mechanism (60) guides the hanger bracket (50) so that the hanger bracket (50) is restricted from displacing relative to the stopper bracket (40) in a front-rear direction of a vehicle and is capable of displacing relative to the stopper bracket (40) in a vehicle width direction. A support mechanism (70) supports the hanger bracket (50) relative to the stopper bracket (40).
