Abstract:
1. A steering position adjustment device, comprising: a fixed bracket comprising flanges formed on both sides in a lateral direction of the fixed bracket; a movable bracket attached to the fixed bracket and comprising a column pipe mounted thereon; and a spring member, wherein each of the flanges comprises a tilted flange plate, wherein a locking piece protrudes from an end of the tilted flange plate of said each of the flanges, wherein an edge and a side of the locking piece are formed as a guiding edge, wherein a locking recess is formed on a rear side of the guiding edge, the locking recess extending from an end of the locking piece, wherein the guiding edge is formed to tilt towards the locking recess, a tilt of the guiding edge gradually increasing from a front side of the guiding edge towards the rear side of the guiding edge, wherein an insertion recess extends in the tilted flange plate of said each of the flanges, wherein, in the lateral direction, a position in the insertion recess substantially matches a position of the guiding edge, wherein a fixing hole is formed adjacently to the insertion recess, wherein an end of the locking recess and the fixing hole are formed such that, in the lateral direction, positions thereof substantially match each other, wherein, in the spring member, coil portions are formed at said both sides with an axial center of the column pipe being disposed therebetween, wherein first locking shaft portions extend from the coil portions, wherein second locking shaft portions extend from distal ends of the first locking shaft portions, wherein the first locking shaft portions are engaged with the locking recess and another locking recess, wherein the second locking shaft portions are further engaged with the fixing hole and another fixing hole, wherein a distance between the first locking shaft portions of the spring member is less than a distance between the guiding edge and another guiding edge of the fixed bracket, and wherein the distance between the guiding edge and said another guiding edge of the fixed bracket is the same as a distance between the insertion recess and another insertion recess of the fixed bracket.
