Abstract

Disclosed is a steering column for a vehicle. According to the present invention, as an adjusting bolt passing through a telescope slot to be coupled to the telescopic slot is slid in stages in the telescopic slot during a telescopic operation for adjusting a location of a steering wheel, a user can accurately and easily adjust the location of the steering wheel.

Claims (15)

1. A steering column for a vehicle, comprising:

a telescope guide having a telescope slot in which narrow width portions and wide width portions are alternately disposed; and

an adjusting bolt passing through the telescope slot to be coupled to the telescope slot,

wherein a resiliently deformed portion of a resilient material is coupled to a portion of the adjusting bolt corresponding to the telescope slot such that the adjusting bolt is slid in stages during a telescopic operation, and

a width of the narrow width portions of the telescope guide is smaller than a diameter of the adjusting bolt.

2. The steering column as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a width of the wide width portions of the telescope guide is larger than the diameter of the adjusting bolt.

3. The steering column as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resiliently deformed portion is formed by coupling a resilient tube to a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the adjusting bolt.

4. The steering column as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the resiliently deformed portion is formed by protruding a resilient rib from a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the adjusting bolt.

5. A steering column for a vehicle, comprising:

a telescopic guide having a telescope slot in an axial direction thereof;

a resilient telescope bush coupled to the telescope slot and in which narrow width portions and wide width portions are alternately disposed; and

an adjusting bolt passing through the telescope bush to be coupled to the telescope bush and configured to be slid during a telescopic operation,

wherein a width of the narrow width portions is smaller than a diameter of the adjusting bolt.

6. The steering column as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a width of the wide width portions is larger than the diameter of the adjusting bolt.

7. The steering column as claimed in claim 5 , wherein opposite peripheries of the telescope bush become gradually narrower or become narrower and a radius of curvature thereof is reduced at the same time.
