Abstract

See full text

A steering system includes a lock mechanism and a releasing member. The lock mechanism includes a clamping shaft inserted through insertion holes in side plates, an operation lever that rotationally operates the clamping shaft, a rotational cam coupled to the clamping shaft so as to be rotatable integrally therewith and movable integrally therewith in an axial direction, a first clamping member that moves the rotational cam in the axial direction with respect to the side plates, and a stopper that restricts a rotation range of the clamping shaft. The releasing member includes a fitting portion located between the side plates and fitted on an outer peripheral surface of the clamping shaft so as to provide a clamping margin, and frictionally slides the fitting portion in the axial direction with respect to the clamping shaft when the rotational cam moves in the axial direction with respect to the side plates.
