Abstract

See full text

A steering apparatus includes an input shaft of which one end is connected to a steering wheel, and a steering column that rotatably supports the input shaft. The steering column includes a cylindrical outer column and a cylindrical inner column that is partially inserted into the outer column and guides the outer column in an axial direction. The inner column has a stopper, which regulates a movable range of the outer column in the axial direction, on an outer circumferential surface, and the stopper enlarges the movable range when deformation or movement thereof occurs due to inertial force.
