Abstract:
In a clamped state where the interval between both the pressing parts is reduced and both the clamped plate parts are clamped by both the support plate parts, vertical distances from an outer peripheral surface of the adjustment rod to an upper surface and a lower surface of an inner surface of one through-hole of both the through-holes are different, vertical distances from the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment rod to an upper surface and a lower surface of an inner surface of the other through-hole of both the through-holes are different, and sides, where the vertical distance from the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment rod to the inner surface is smaller, are on opposite sides with respect to the vertical direction in one through-hole and the other through-hole.

Claim (Index 1):
A vertical position adjustment device for steering wheel comprising:\n a pair of clamped plate parts provided at parts of a steering column with being spaced from each other in a width direction; a pair of through-holes formed to penetrate both the clamped plate parts in the width direction; a pair of support plate parts provided at parts of a support bracket supported to a vehicle body with clamping both the clamped plate parts from both sides in the width direction; a pair of long holes for tilt adjustment which are respectively long in a vertical direction, and are formed to penetrate both the support plate parts in the width direction; an adjustment rod provided to be inserted in both the through-holes and both the long holes for tilt adjustment in the width direction; a pair of pressing parts provided at parts, which protrude from outer surfaces of both the support plate parts, of the adjustment rod, and an expansion/contraction mechanism configured to expand and reduce an interval between both the pressing parts, wherein in a clamped state where the interval between both the pressing parts is reduced and both the clamped plate parts are clamped by both the support plate parts, vertical distances from an outer peripheral surface of the adjustment rod to an upper surface and a lower surface of an inner surface of one through-hole of both the through-holes are different, vertical distances from the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment rod to an upper surface and a lower surface of an inner surface of the other through-hole of both the through-holes are different, and sides, where the vertical distance from the outer peripheral surface of the adjustment rod to the inner surface is smaller, are on opposite sides with respect to the vertical direction in one through-hole and the other through-hole.
