Patent ID: 7712782

Claim:
A push-pull type tilt lever assembly for a steering system of a vehicle: wherein the tilt lever assembly is disposed at an outer side of a tilt bracket that covers a portion of a steering column and connected with a distance bracket by a tilt bolt to achieve a telescopic function that allows increasing/decreasing the length of the steering column and a tilt function that allows tilting a steering wheel; and a tilt lever is arranged in the axial direction of the steering column at the upper portion of a side of the tilt bracket covering the steering column, and the telescopic and tilt functions are achieved by pushing or pulling the tilt lever in the axial direction of the steering column; wherein tilt lever assembly includes: a guide bracket that is disposed at a side of the tilt bracket covering the steering column and pushes the distance bracket connected by the tilt bolt to the steering column, using an axial pressing force to generate a fixing force, wherein the guide bracket is mechanically assembled by cam connection such that a cam rotates and axially moves to generate the fixing force between the distance bracket and the steering column; and the tilt lever is axially disposed at the upper portion of the steering column and applies a normal/reverse rotating force to the cam by being pushed or pulled in the axial direction of the steering column.
