Description
STRUCTURE FOR ATTACHING A SWITCH BODY TO A STEERING COLUMN TUBE
The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a switch body to a steering column tube.
As is currently known, a switch body mounting a light swflch, a wiper switch or the like is attached at ar edge ot a column tube whicfl supports a steering shaft. of a vehicle. With this type of attachment structure, for example, there is disclosed a configuration in which an attachment portion extending outwards from a rim of an open hole accommodating a steering column tube is extendingly formed on a lower surface of a switch body and a ring-shaped clamping band is fitted over the attachment portion. The clamping band comprises a member in which a spring force acts in a diameter-reducing direction and a diameter- expanded state is kept by locking both edges thereof to a holding portion on the lower surface of the switch body.
According to the above-mentioned structure, when attaching a switch body to a steering column tube, the switch body is temporarily fixed to the steering column tube by firstly letting the steering column tube through an insertion opening of the switch body. When pulling the hclding portion toward the near side in this state, the diameter-expanded state of the clamping band by the holding portion is released since a temporarily locked state of the both edges of the clamping band with the nciding portion is released. Therefore, since the carnping band reduces a diameter by a spring force thereof, the clamping band strongly presses an assembly portion of the switch body against the steering column tube from the periphery, as a result, the switch body is fixed to the steering column tube.
Such an arrangement is known from JP-A-5-44609U. However, whcn prccsing thc switch body against the steering column tube by the clamping band during switch body attachment, an operation to pull the holding member toward the near side is required in order to release the temporarily locked state of the clamping band. As such, there is a problem in that the amount of man-hours required for attachment increases and an efficiency of switch body attachment is poor. Furthermore, the switch body may be attached to a position where it is not readily visible and/or accessible to the installation and so as to have a disadvantageous and limiting affect from a viewpoint of The invention seeks to provide for a structure for attaching a switch body to a steering column tube and having advantages over known such structures.
According to a feature of the present invention, a structure for attaching a switch body to a steering column tube comprises: a switch body attached to a steering column tube of a rehjc1e; an adaptor intervening between the switch body and the steering column tube of the vehicle and having a first engaging portion engaged with a locking portion of the steering column tube as well as a second engaging portion engaged with a locking portion of the switch body, wherein the first engaging portion of the adaptor is engaged with the locking portion of the steering column tube, and at the same time, the second engaging portion of the adaptor is engaged with the locking portion of the GwItch body by puching the owitch body toward thc stcering column tube side of the vehicle.
The invention is advantageous in that it can assist ease of attachment to a steering column.
The switch body may be attached by being temporarily assembled with the adaptor and being pushed into the steering column tube in this temporarily assembled state.
