Abstract
A steering column device includes: a link mechanism pivotably supported with respect to a fixing bracket about a first pivot shaft, which is perpendicular to a center axis PC of a steering shaft and is positioned further toward an upper side of a vehicle than the center axis PC, and pivotably supported with respect to a column jacket about a second pivot shaft, which is positioned further toward the upper side of the vehicle than the center axis PC; and a drive mechanism connected to the link mechanism to drive the link mechanism, thereby adjusting a tilt angle of the steering shaft. A sliding member includes a shaft member engaged in an elongated hole which is provided in a portion of the link mechanism which is near the second pivot shaft, and the shaft member is pivotably supported in the elongated hole and fixed to the column jacket.
