Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、車体開口部から運転者側に突出するシフトレバーのレバー軸を被覆するシフトレバーブーツを、車体側取付部に取り付けるシフトレバーブーツの取付構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に、車両前部の運転席周辺に配設される車体側部材のコンソールには、運転者側に突出するシフトレバーが挿通する車体開口部が形成されている。この車体開口部から突出したシフトレバーのレバー軸を被覆するシフトレバーブーツが、車体開口部の外周に形成された車体側取付部に取付けられている。このシフトレバーブーツは、ゴムなどの弾性材料で形成される場合と、皮革などの非弾性材料で形成される場合とがあり、それぞれに対応するように、車体側取付部が形成されているため、車体側部材の種類が増加するという問題があった。
【0003】
まず、シフトレバーブーツがゴムなどの弾性材料で形成される場合の従来のシフトレバーブーツの取付構造を図7及び図8に基いて、図4及び図5も参照しながら説明する。
車体側部材のコンソール1には、図4、図5及び図7に示すように、シフトレバー2が挿通する車体開口部5が形成されている。この車体開口部5には、車体開口部5を環状に包囲する周壁15が形成され、この周壁15には、その上端から外方に屈曲する鍔部18が所定の間隔をあけて複数形成されている。
また、図7及び図8に示すように、シフトレバー2のレバー軸8を被覆するシフトレバーブーツ30の下端開口部には、一体的に弾性変形可能な環状リブ31が形成されている。
そして、図7及び図8に示すように、コンソール1の車体開口部5から突出するシフトレバー2に、シフトレバーブーツ30を挿入し、シフトレバーブーツ30の下端開口部に設けた環状リブ31を、コンソール1の車体開口部5に形成した周壁15の鍔部18の上面に押し当てながら環状リブ31を弾性変形させ、環状リブ31を鍔部18に係合して、シフトレバーブーツ30をコンソール1に取り付けている。
【0004】
次に、シフトレバーブーツが皮革などの非弾性材料で形成される場合の従来のシフトレバーブーツの取付構造を説明する。
一般には、特許文献1の第2図に示す取付構造が採用されており、第2図を参照しながら説明すると、車体側のコンソールのシフトレバーが挿通する車体開口部には、係合突起部が形成され、この係合突起部の上端には弾性変形可能な係合爪部が外方に向け突設されている。また、シフトレバーブーツの下端開口部には、高剛性の角筒状の取付枠が装着されている。
そして、シフトレバーブーツの下端開口部に設けた取付枠を、コンソールの車体開口部に形成した係合突起部の係合爪部の上面に押し当てながら、係合爪部を下方に弾性変形させて、取付枠を係合爪部に係合して、シフトレバーブーツをコンソールに取り付けている。
【0005】
さらに、皮革などの非弾性材料で形成されたシフトレバーブーツの取付構造として、特許文献2には、車両の構成部材の開口部から突出されるシフトレバーのレバー軸を覆うシフトレバーブーツの他端側を、前記開口部周囲に取付けられる固定部材に固定する場合、シフトレバーブーツに設けたブーツ側固定部に補強部材を取付けて設け、前記開口部周囲に設けた固定部材によりブーツ側固定部及び補強部材を挟んで固定することが開示されている。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述したように、ゴムなどの弾性材料でシフトレバーブーツを形成する場合には、シフトレバーブーツ側の取付部をシフトレバブーツと一体に弾性変形可能な構造で形成すると共に、コンソール側の取付部を高剛性に形成して、それぞれを係合していた。また、皮革などの非弾性材料でシフトレバーブーツを形成する場合には、シフトレバーブーツが、非弾性材料で形成されているため、弾性力を利用した取付部を形成できないので、別に形成した高剛性の取付部をシフトレバーブーツに装着すると共に、コンソール側の取付部を弾性変形可能に形成して、それぞれを係合していた。
【0008】
このように、シフトレバーブーツは、ゴムなどの弾性材料、又は皮革などの非弾性材料で形成される場合があり、それぞれの場合に対応するように、車体側部材のコンソールの取付部を形成していたため、車体側部材の種類の増加を招いていた。
【0009】
また、特許文献1及び2は、シフトレバーブーツが非弾性材料の皮革で形成されている場合であるが、いずれも、車体側取付部が限定されるものであり、シフトレバーブーツが弾性材料のゴム等で形成される場合には、その取付部が採用できないため、上述と同様に、車体側部材の種類が増加することになる。
【0010】
本発明は、かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、車体側取付部を変更することなく、弾性材料、又は非弾性材料で形成されたシフトレバーブーツの両者共に車体側取付部に取付可能なシフトレバーブーツの取付構造を提供することを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するための手段として、請求項1に記載した発明は、外周に車体側取付部が形成される車体開口部と、この車体開口部を通して運転者側に突出するシフトレバーと、このシフトレバーを挿通するためのレバー挿通孔が頂部に形成されると共に、この頂部から前記車体開口部を包囲する環状の下端開口部へ錐状に拡がるシフトレバーブーツと、このシフトレバーブーツの前記下端開口部に装着されるブーツ取付枠とを備え、このブーツ取付枠を前記車体側取付部に係合させるシフトレバーブーツの取付構造において、前記車体側取付部は前記車体開口部を環状に包囲する周壁と、この周壁から外周側に突設される鍔部とを備え、前記ブーツ取付枠は、前記鍔部を覆うとともに前記シフトレバーが挿通する開口部を有する本体部と、この本体部から前記鍔部の外周を囲むように垂下されて弾性変形可能な複数個の腕部と、この腕部に突設されて前記鍔部に係止する爪部とを備えたことを特徴とするものである。
このように構成することにより、弾性材料からなるシフトレバーブーツに設けた弾性変形可能な環状リブを係合可能とする高剛性に形成した車体側取付部に、非弾性材料からなるシフトレバーブーツの下端開口部に設けたブーツ取付枠の腕部を弾性変形させて係合できるので、車体側取付部の構造を変更することなく、弾性材料、又は非弾性材料のシフトレバーブーツの両者共に、車体側取付部に係合でき、車体部材の種類の増加を防止できる。
【0012】
請求項2に記載した発明は、請求項1に記載した発明において、前記ブーツ取付枠を構成する前記本体部と、前記腕部と、前記爪部とが樹脂材料で一体に形成されたことを特徴とするものである。
このように構成することにより、ブーツ取付枠の構造を簡素化できる。
【0013】
請求項3に記載した発明は、請求項1または2に記載した発明において、前記本体部の前記開口部の外側の位置に前記腕部が垂下されると共に、前記開口部から前記腕部に至る部分に切欠部を形成したことを特徴とするものである。
このように構成することにより、本体部、腕部及び爪部とを2分割の型から形成でき容易に製造できる。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態に係るシフトレバーブーツの取付構造を図1〜図6に基いて詳細に説明する。なお、本発明の実施の形態の説明において従来例と同一部材及び相当する部品は、同一の符号を使用して説明する。
本発明の実施の形態に係るシフトレバーブーツの取付構造は、車体側部材のコンソール1に設けた車体側取付部6に、シフトレバーブーツ3の下端開口部10に設けたブーツ取付枠11を取り付ける取付構造に関するものである。
【0015】
車室内の前部のほぼ中央部に配設されるコンソール1は、図1及び図4に示すように、シフトレバー2を支持するベース部材4の上方を覆うように、運転者側に突出するシフトレバー2が挿通する車体開口部5が形成されると共に、この車体開口部5の外周に後述するシフトレバーブーツ3のブーツ取付枠11が係合する車体側取付部6が形成されている。
【0016】
車体側取付部6は、図4及び図5に示すように、車体開口部5の周辺部を凹設すると共に、車体開口部5を環状に包囲する環状の周壁15が形成されている。また、この周壁15の上端から連続して周方向に所定の間隔をあけて、複数(図4では6個)の鍔部18が外方に向って突設しており、この鍔部18は高剛性に形成されている。
【0017】
シフトレバー2は、図1に示すように、上端に把持用のノブ7を設け、下端は回動自在にベース部4に支持されており、レバー軸8は、外観向上のためにシフトレバーブーツ3により被覆されている。
【0018】
シフトレバブーツ3は、皮革からなる非弾性材料で形成されており、図1に示すように、頂部にシフトレバー2が挿通するレバー挿通孔9を設けると共に、頂部からコンソール1に設けた車体開口部5を包囲する環状の下端開口部10まで錐状に広がるように形成されている。また、このシフトレバーブーツ3の下端開口部10には、コンソール1に設けた車体側取付部6と係合するブーツ取付枠11が装着されている。
【0019】
ブーツ取付枠11は、図2及び図3に示すように、樹脂材料から一体に形成されると共に、シフトレバー2が挿通する長円形状の開口部12を有した本体部13と、この本体部13の開口部12の周縁に、所定の間隔をあけて形成した複数(図2では10個)の切欠部14と、この切欠部14の外縁から、コンソール1の車体側取付部6との係合時、車体側取付部6の周壁15の外周を囲むように垂下する弾性変形可能な腕部16と、この腕部16の下端から開口部12に向って突設する爪部17とから構成されている。
【0020】
また、図6に示すように、ブーツ取付枠11は、シフトレバーブーツ3の下端開口部10内に配置され、シフトレバーブーツ3の下端外周縁を、ブーツ取付枠11の外周縁から開口部12に至るまで包み込むようにして、ブーツ取付枠11に設けた腕部16を、シフトレバーブーツ3に設けた挿通孔3aに挿通して、シフトレバーブーツ3の下端開口部10にブーツ取付枠11が装着される。
【0021】
次に、シフトレバーブーツ3の下端開口部10に装着したブーツ取付枠11を、車体側部材のコンソール1に設けた車体側取付部6に取り付ける取付方法を図6に基いて、図1も参照しながら説明する。
まず、コンソール1の車体開口部5から突出したシフトレバー2にシフトレバーブーツ3を挿入して、シフトレバーブーツ3の下端開口部10に設けたブーツ取付枠11を、コンソール1に設けた車体側取付部6に押し込む。すると、ブーツ取付枠11に設けた腕部16が、車体側取付部6に設けた周壁15の鍔部18の上面に当接しながら外側に弾性変形して、爪部17が鍔部18を乗り越えて、鍔部18に係合する。この状態で、鍔部18が本体部13と爪部17との間にシフトレバーブーツ3を介して挟持され、ブーツ取付枠11が車体側取付部6に取付けられる。また、ブーツ取付枠11の外周縁部の下面は、シフトレバーブーツ3を介して車体開口部5に形成した凹部19の底面に当接している。
【0022】
以上説明したように、本発明の実施の形態に係るシフトレバーブーツの取付構造によれば、皮革からなる非弾性材料で形成されたシフトレバーブーツ3の下端開口部10に装着されたブーツ取付枠11に、シフトレバー2が挿通する開口部12の周縁に、所定の間隔で外方に凹設する切欠部14を複数形成すると共に、この切欠部14の外縁から垂下する弾性変形可能な腕部16を形成し、この腕部16の下端に、開口部12側に向って突設する爪部17を形成している。また、コンソール1の車体開口部5の外周に設けた車体側取付部6は、ゴムなどの弾性材料で形成されたシフトレバーブーツに設けた弾性変形可能な環状リブを係合できる構造であり、その構造は、車体開口部5を環状に包囲する周壁15と、この周壁15の上端から外方に向って突設する高剛性の鍔部18とから構成されている。
【0023】
そして、シフトレバーブーツ3をコンソール1に取り付ける時は、シフトレバーブーツ3のブーツ取付枠11を、コンソール1の車体側取付部6に押し込むようにして、ブーツ取付枠11に形成した腕部16を弾性変形させ、爪部17を周壁15の鍔部18に係合させると共に、鍔部18が本体部13と爪部17との間に挟持されて、コンソール1に取付けられる。
このように、シフトレバーブーツ3に設けたブーツ取付枠11を、上述の構成にすることにより、シフトレバーブーツ3をゴムなどの弾性材料、又は皮革などの非弾性材料で形成された両者共に、コンソール1の車体側取付部6の構造を変更することなく、コンソール1に取り付けることが可能となる。
【0024】
また、シフトレバーブーツ3は、ブーツ取付枠11を包み込むようにして、ブーツ取付枠11の腕部16を、シフトレバーブーツ3の挿通孔3aに挿通しているので、シフトレバーブーツ3がブーツ取付枠11から容易に抜脱することを防ぎ、さらに、シフトレバーブーツ3は、車体側取付部6の鍔部18の上面とブーツ取付枠11の本体部13の下面とにより押圧されると共に、ブーツ取付枠11の外周壁の下面と車体開口部5の周辺部に設けた凹部19の底面とにより押圧されているため、容易にずれることはない。
【0025】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、請求項1に記載した発明によれば、車体開口部の外周に設けた車体側取付部は、環状に車体開口部を包囲する周壁と、この周壁の上端から外方に向って突設する複数の鍔部とを備えており、また、車体開口部から運転者側に突出するシフトレバーのレバー軸を被覆するシフトレバーブーツの下端開口部にブーツ取付枠を装着して、このブーツ取付枠を、シフトレバーが挿通する開口部を有する本体部と、この本体部の開口部の周辺から垂下する弾性変形可能な複数個の腕部と、この腕部に突設されて鍔部に係止する爪部とから構成しているので、シフトレバーブーツを車体側に取り付ける時には、シフトレバーブーツのブーツ取付枠を、車体側取付部に押し込むようにして、ブーツ取付枠の腕部を弾性変形させ、爪部を鍔部に係合すると共に、鍔部が本体部と爪部とにより挟持されて、シフトレバーブーツを車体側取付部に強固に取付けることができる。
【0026】
しかも、上述の車体側に設けた車体側取付部は、ゴムなどの弾性材料で形成されたシフトレバーブーツをも係合できる構造であるので、弾性材料、又は非弾性材料で形成されたシフトレバーブーツの両者共に、車体側取付部の構造を変更することなく係合でき、車体部材の部品点数を低減することができる。
【0027】
請求項2に記載した発明によれば、ブーツ取付枠を構成する本体部と、腕部と、爪部とを樹脂材料で一体に形成したので、ブーツ取付枠の構造を簡素化できる。
【0028】
請求項3に記載した発明によれば、ブーツ取付枠の本体部の開口部から外側の位置に腕部を垂下し、開口部から腕部に至る部分に切欠部を形成したので、本体部、腕部及び爪部を2分割の型から形成でき容易に製造できる。
