Abstract

See full text

A steering apparatus includes a gear lock mechanism that fastens a first side plate to a second side plate by a fastening member. In a lock operation, a main body of the fastening member of a fastening mechanism presses a second tooth row forming member toward the first side plate, and a guided projection of the fastening member rotates slightly in the range of play in a lock direction. The fastening member slightly rotates the second tooth row forming member in the lock direction via a restricting portion. During the slight rotation, a second tooth row of the second tooth row forming member is aligned with and meshes with a first tooth row of the first side plate.
