The metal shim 102 is pressed into the square recess 104 of the outlet member 101. Thus, the metal shim 102 is held by the outlet member 101.

And press-fitted into the engagement hole 106.
At this time, the diameter of the engagement hole 106 is forcibly expanded by the projection 109. Therefore, a diameter reducing force is generated in the engagement hole 106.

Then, the projection 1 fixed to the case (fixing member) 103
09 to the outer peripheral surface of the metal shim 102.
6 slides, the outlet member 10
One swing was secured. Therefore, the sliding resistance at the time of rocking was the diameter reducing force of the engagement hole 106.

大きくする方法と、がある。The diameter reducing force is determined by the elastic modulus k of the engagement hole 106.
And the engagement hole 1 when the projection 109 is pressed into the engagement hole 106.
06 is proportional to the displacement x due to the diameter expansion. That is, assuming that the diameter reducing force is f, there is a relationship of f = kx. Therefore, the method of securing the predetermined diameter reducing force f1, that is, the predetermined sliding resistance, includes a method of increasing the displacement x and a method of increasing the elastic modulus k.

ｆ１を確保することは困難だった。[0008] However, it is difficult to secure the predetermined diameter reducing force f1 by increasing the displacement x. The reason is that the limit value of the displacement x is small. The maximum displacement x is
This can be ensured when the projection 109 is pressed into the completely collapsed engagement hole 106. Conversely, this means that it is not possible to secure a further displacement x. That is, the displacement x can be increased only up to the radius of the engagement hole 106 at the maximum. For this reason, in the conventional sliding resistance device, it was difficult to secure the predetermined diameter reducing force f1 by increasing the displacement x.
【０００９】そこで従来は、係合孔１０６の弾性率ｋを
大きくして所定縮径力ｆ１を確保せざるを得なかった。
そしてこの大きな弾性率ｋのため、従来の摺動抵抗装置
では以下の問題が生じていた。Therefore, conventionally, the elastic modulus k of the engaging hole 106 has to be increased to secure a predetermined diameter reducing force f1.
And, due to the large elastic modulus k, the following problem has occurred in the conventional sliding resistance device.
【００１０】すなわち、摺動により突起１０９が微量摩
耗して縮径するだけで、所定縮径力ｆ１を確保すること
が困難になっていた。突起１０９が縮径すると、その分
係合孔１０６も縮径する。つまり変位量ｘが小さくな

縮径力ｆの変化幅は小さい。このため、多少突起１０９
が摩耗しても、所定縮径力ｆ１（図中に許容範囲をｆ０
〜ｆ２として示す。）を維持することができる。That is, it has been difficult to secure a predetermined diameter reducing force f1 only by reducing the diameter of the projection 109 due to a small amount of wear caused by sliding. When the diameter of the projection 109 is reduced, the diameter of the engagement hole 106 is reduced accordingly. That is, the displacement x decreases. As the displacement x decreases, the diameter reducing force f also decreases, as conceptually shown in FIG. Here, as shown by the dashed line in the figure, if the elastic modulus k is small, the change width of the diameter reducing force f due to the change of the displacement x is small. Therefore, the protrusion 109
Even if wear occurs, the predetermined diameter reduction force f1 (the allowable range in FIG.
Ｆf2. ) Can be maintained.
【００１１】ところが、上述したように変位量ｘの最大

従来の摺動抵抗装置は、所定の摺動抵抗を長期間におい
て維持することが困難だった。However, the maximum value of the displacement x is the radius of the engagement hole 106 as described above. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 1, when the elastic modulus k is small, the predetermined diameter reducing force f1 cannot be secured. For this reason, the elastic modulus k of the conventional engagement hole 106 is set to be large as shown by the solid line in the figure. For this reason, the diameter reduction force f is significantly reduced only by a small amount of wear of the projection 109. Then, the predetermined diameter reducing force f1, that is, the predetermined sliding resistance cannot be secured. That is, it was difficult for the conventional sliding resistance device to maintain a predetermined sliding resistance for a long period of time.

目的とする。The sliding resistance device of the present invention has been completed in view of the above problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding resistance device capable of maintaining a predetermined sliding resistance for a long period of time.

とする。In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a sliding resistance device according to the present invention comprises a fixing member, a swinging member arranged to be swingable with respect to the fixing member, and a fixing member. A resistance member provided between the rocking member and a sliding member for imparting sliding resistance when the rocking member swings by elastic contact, wherein the resistance member is held by a fixed member, The outer peripheral surface of the member elastically contacts the sliding surface of the swing member.

により、摺動時の摺動抵抗を確保する。That is, in the sliding resistance device of the present invention, the resistance member is held not by the swing member but by the fixed member. In the sliding resistance device according to the present invention, the swing member swings by sliding the sliding surface of the swing member against the outer peripheral surface of the held and fixed resistance member. When the outer peripheral surface of the resistance member elastically contacts the sliding surface of the swinging member, in other words, the elastic resistance of the outer peripheral surface of the resistance member increases the sliding resistance during sliding.

敢えて弾性率を大きく設定する必要がない。In the sliding resistance device according to the present invention, the sliding resistance is ensured not by the diameter reduction force but by the diameter expansion force. As described above, the limit value of the displacement amount in the diameter reduction direction is low. In other words, the settable displacement amount is small. For this reason, conventionally, it has been necessary to secure a predetermined diameter reducing force, that is, a predetermined sliding resistance by the elastic modulus. On the other hand, the limit value of the amount of displacement in the diameter increasing direction is high. That is, the amount of displacement that can be set is large. For example, if a circular metal shim (resistance member) is produced by elastically bending a metal flat plate so as to be wound, the deformation amount from the circular shape to the flat plate can be set as the displacement amount. When the amount of displacement that can be set is large, a predetermined expanding force, that is, a predetermined sliding resistance can be secured by the amount of displacement. For this reason, it is not necessary to set the elastic modulus large.

きる。このため摺動により多少部材が摩耗しても、摺動
抵抗が著しく低下することがない。つまり、所定の摺動
抵抗を長期間維持することができる。According to the sliding resistance device of the present invention, a predetermined sliding resistance can be ensured not by the elastic modulus but by the amount of displacement. For this reason, even if the member is slightly worn due to the sliding, the sliding resistance is not significantly reduced. That is, the predetermined sliding resistance can be maintained for a long time.

For example, resin, rubber, spring, metal shim, or the like can be used. Considering the sliding,
Those having low wear resistance and low aggressiveness to the opponent are preferable.
【００１８】好ましくは抵抗部材を、固定部材に保持さ

とができる。The resistance member in this configuration comprises a holding portion held by the fixed member and an arc portion slidingly contacting the swinging member. According to this configuration, the holding section and the arc section each have a single independent function. For this reason, the structure of the holding portion and the arc portion, and further, the structure of the entire resistance member can be simplified.

る。Here, the holding portion may have any structure as long as the resistance member can be fixedly held to the fixing member. For example, when a projection is provided on the fixing member, an engagement hole that engages with the projection may be provided in the resistance member, and the engagement hole may be used as a holding portion. In this case, the cross-sectional shape of the engagement hole may be a polygon such as a rectangle or a triangle, an ellipse, or a star. Further, the arc portion may be any structure that can be elastically deformed so as to be able to elastically contact the swing member. In this configuration, the sliding resistance is ensured by the expanding force of the elastically deformable arc portion.

It is preferable that the holding portion be elastically deformed in a direction in which the holding portion expands, and the arc portion be expanded in diameter and elastically contact the swing member.

と、より大きな摺動抵抗を、比較的簡易な構造の抵抗部
材で得ることができる。That is, in this configuration, the elastic deformation of the holding member when the holding portion of the resistance member is held by the fixed member is used to promote sliding resistance. When a projection or the like of the fixing member is pressed into the substantially U-shaped holding portion, the holding portion expands elastically. When the holding portion expands, the circular arc portion located on the outer peripheral side of the holding portion also elastically expands in diameter in conjunction with this. In other words, the amount of radial expansion displacement of the arc portion increases as much as the holding portion expands. Thereby, the arc portion can obtain a larger diameter expanding force, that is, a larger sliding resistance. According to this configuration, a larger sliding resistance can be obtained with a resistance member having a relatively simple structure.

For this reason, it is particularly difficult to maintain a constant sliding resistance for a long time. In addition, other devices such as an audio system and a navigation system are also provided near the center cluster where the car air conditioner is provided.
