Abstract
A steering apparatus includes a column pipe, an outer column, a fixed bracket, a stopper bracket, and a clamping tool. The stopper bracket has a first suspending planar portion and a second suspending planar portion. A telescopic slot and an impact absorbing slot are formed in the first and second suspending planar portions. A first collapsing portion, which is configured as a protruding plate piece positioned between the telescopic slot and the impact absorbing slot of the first suspending planar portion and bent by colliding with a bolt shaft in an event of a secondary collision, is provided in the first and second suspending planar portions. A second collapsing portion, the height dimension of which decreases toward a trailing end is provided in the impact absorbing slot of one of the first suspending planar portion and the second suspending planar portion.
