Abstract
A steering column assembly includes a mounting bracket having a first arm and a second arm, a steering column and a locking device which is configured to be in a locking state or an unlocking state to selectively allow a tilt motion of the supporting housing and the steering column by applying or removing clamping force to or from the first arm and the second arm. The locking device includes a tilting bolt which is connected to the lever to rotate together with the lever and passes through the first arm and the second arm to be able to rotate between the locking state and the unlocking state and a first locking unit and a second locking unit which respectively operate in response to rotation of the tilting bolt and selectively apply clamping force to the first and the second arms.
