Abstract:
Non-circular portions ( 41 ) are provided in two positions of an adjusting rod ( 17 a ) in an axial direction, and the non-circular portions ( 41 ) are disposed inside of telescopic-adjusting long holes ( 16 a ) of a displacement bracket ( 13 a ). Up-down-direction clearances ( 44 a  and  44 b ) which are present between opposite edges of each of the non-circular portions ( 41 ) in an up-down direction and inner surfaces of each of the telescopic-adjusting long holes ( 16 a ) in the up-down direction in a state where a position of a steering wheel can be maintained are less than up-down-direction clearances ( 43 a  and  43 b ) which are present between the opposite edges of each of the non-circular portions ( 41 ) in the up-down direction and the inner surfaces of each of the telescopic-adjusting long holes ( 16 a ) in the up-down direction in a state where the position of the steering wheel can be adjusted. As a result, a structure can be realized in which the position of the steering wheel can be adjusted in an unlocked state, and in which the feeling of support rigidity of the steering wheel in a locked state can be improved.

Claim (Index 5):
The position-adjusting device for a steering wheel according to  claim 4 , wherein\n the non-circular portion is formed of a resin portion that is externally fitted and fixed to an outer peripheral surface of the adjusting rod.
