A steering apparatus comprising: a steering shaft; a tilt hinge shaft fixable to a vehicle body; a steering column that rotationally supports the steering shaft; and an elastically deformable conductive member, wherein the steering apparatus is tiltable about the tilt hinge shaft and is electrically connectable to the vehicle body by installing the conductive member between the tilt hinge shaft and the steering column; the conductive member includes a first contact section that contacts the tilt hinge shaft, a second contact section that contacts the steering column, and a deformation section that extends between the first contact section and the second contact section, the deformation section being elastically deformable such that the first contact section and the second contact section approach each other; and the deformation section is constructed to be inserted between the tilt hinge shaft and the steering column, while being elastically deformed, wherein the deformation section has first to third small arcuate sections (38 to 40), the first small arcuate section extends from the first contact section, the second small arcuate section extends from the first small arcuate section, and the third small arcuate section extends from the second small arcuate section, the deformation section extends from an end of the first contact section that is located away from the steering shaft; characterised in that the first small arcuate section bulges away from the steering shaft, and the second small arcuate section bulges toward the steering shaft, the third small arcuate section bulges away from the steering shaft, and the first to third small arcuate sections (38 to 40) are provided further from the axis of the steering shaft than both the first contact section and the axis of the tilt hinge shaft. a steering shaft; a tilt hinge shaft fixable to a vehicle body; a steering column that rotationally supports the steering shaft; and an elastically deformable conductive member, wherein the steering apparatus is tiltable about the tilt hinge shaft and is electrically connectable to the vehicle body by installing the conductive member between the tilt hinge shaft and the steering column; the conductive member includes a first contact section that contacts the tilt hinge shaft, a second contact section that contacts the steering column, and a deformation section that extends between the first contact section and the second contact section, the deformation section being elastically deformable such that the first contact section and the second contact section approach each other; and the deformation section is constructed to be inserted between the tilt hinge shaft and the steering column, while being elastically deformed, wherein the deformation section has first to third small arcuate sections (38 to 40), the first small arcuate section extends from the first contact section, the second small arcuate section extends from the first small arcuate section, and the third small arcuate section extends from the second small arcuate section, the deformation section extends from an end of the first contact section that is located away from the steering shaft; characterised in that the first small arcuate section bulges away from the steering shaft, and the second small arcuate section bulges toward the steering shaft, the third small arcuate section bulges away from the steering shaft, and the first to third small arcuate sections (38 to 40) are provided further from the axis of the steering shaft than both the first contact section and the axis of the tilt hinge shaft.
