Claims

[Scope of utility model registration request]

In a steering column equipped with a tilt mechanism, the energy absorbing member is formed into a substantially inverted T-shape, and the free end of the central vertical portion is fixed to the lower surface of the steering column at approximately the center, and the horizontal portion is fixed to the outer side of the tilt mechanism. A steering column is provided with a knee protector which is arranged facing a driver's seat and which bends when a driver's knee is in a collision and guides the knee to both sides of the tilt mechanism.
