Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a shift knob mounted on a vehicle or the like, and more particularly to an improvement in a structure in which a plate body such as a lid or a name plate is attached to a shift knob provided with a switch. Is.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, the structure for mounting the board on the shift knob with a switch includes, for example, No. 60-71930 and No. 62-175320.
There are technologies related to each publication of the issue.

In the former conventional technique, an accommodating recess is formed in the inner shell of the shift knob, an engaging portion is formed by die-cutting at a substantially right angle to the opening direction of the accommodating recess, and an engaged portion formed on the lid is engaged. It is a structure in which the lid is attached to the shift knob by engaging the mating portion.

In the latter conventional technology, a switch box is formed on the knob body of the shift knob, a press-fitting portion is formed on the inner wall of the switch box, and a metal material insertion part integrally molded with the switch box lid is used as the press-fitting portion. By applying pressure
It is a structure in which the lid is attached to the shift knob.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the former conventional technique, it is necessary to perform die-cutting substantially at right angles to the opening direction in order to form the engaging portion, and the die of the inner shell becomes complicated, resulting in high cost.

Further, in the latter conventional technique, the insertion portion needs to be made of a metal material in order to be press-fitted into the press-fitting portion and integrally molded with the switch box lid, resulting in a complicated structure and an increase in cost. .

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and in a shift knob with a switch in which a conductive wire that is electrically connected to a switch is embedded in a shift knob, an opening is formed at a predetermined position of the shift knob, and the conductive wire is provided in the opening. No, the board body that covers the opening is provided with a locking portion that locks with the conductive wire to form a board mounting structure for the shift knob with a switch.
The problems of the above conventional techniques are solved.

[Action]

According to the above configuration, the plate body can be attached to the shift knob by locking the locking portion of the plate body such as the nameplate or the lid with the conducting wire embedded in the shift knob for conducting the switch.

Since the conducting wire also has a function of locking the locking portion, it is not necessary to install another locking member on the opening side, the structure is simple, and the mold has a simple structure, which is It can be priced.

〔Example〕

A preferred embodiment of a board mounting structure for a shift knob with a switch according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a shift knob core member mounted on a floor shift lever or the like of a vehicle. The shift knob core 1 is formed of a hard resin, and the outer periphery of the shift knob core 1 is an exterior member 2 made of a soft resin such as soft vinyl chloride, and is covered by integral molding or the like. The shift knob core 1 includes a shift lock release push button 3,
A switch 4 such as a push button switch is provided.

Reference numerals 5 and 6 are conducting wires, which are made of bar materials such as round bars and square bars. The conductors 5 and 6 are embedded between the shift knob core member 1 and the exterior member 2 as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, and the external connection ends 5a and 6a are protruded from the lower end of the shift knob core member 1, Connect to external wiring (not shown). Further, the switch connection ends 5b and 6b of the conductors 5 and 6 are exposed in the storage hole 1d for storing the switch 4 in the shift knob core material 1 and fitted into the terminal grooves 4a and 4b of the switch 4 for electrical connection.

An opening 1a is formed at a predetermined position of the shift knob core 1. The shift knob core 1 is arranged so that one or both of the conductors 5 and 6 are exposed in the opening 1a. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the first conducting wire 5 is bent and formed in a substantially U shape in the vicinity of the opening 1a, and the openings 1a are arranged in parallel in two rows. .

Reference numeral 7 denotes a board made of a hard resin material that covers the opening 1a, and has a nameplate function, for example, by printing the function display 7f of the switch 4 as shown in FIG. The function display 7f can be prevented from being peeled off by printing it on the board 7 made of hard resin, not directly on the exterior member 2 made of soft resin. On the back surface 7a of the board 7, the locking portions 7b are provided at the tips.
And 7c, and elastic legs 7d and 7e are integrally formed. The locking portions 7b and 7c are locked to the lower surface of the first conducting wire 5 which is arranged so as to be slightly raised from the bottom surface 1b of the opening 1a. The bottom surface 1b of the opening 1a is provided with a stopper 1c that abuts on the back surface 7a of the board 7 and restricts the insertion of the board 7.

Next, an operation relating to the board mounting structure of the shift knob with the switch having the above structure will be described.

When the switch 4 is turned on and off, the conductors 5 and 6
The external connection terminals 5a and 6b in are conductive or non-conductive, and are output as a switch signal to the outside.

When the board 7 is pushed into the opening 1a, the back surfaces of the engaging portions 7b and 7c first come into contact with the first conducting wire 5, so that the leg portion
7d and 7e elastically deform outward and separate. When the board 7 is further pushed in, the engaging portions 7b and 7c get over the first conducting wire 5 and are positioned at 7b 'and 7c' shown by phantom lines in FIG. 3, and the leg portions 7d and 7e are elastic. By returning, the first
The lead wire 5 is locked. Then, the board 7 is attached to the first conducting wire 5 with one touch to cover the opening 1a.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the board 7 is not limited to the structure or arrangement having the function of the name plate, but various opening portions 1a.
The switch 4 may be inserted through the opening formed in the rear surface of the shift knob core 1 so as to cover the opening formed in the rear surface.

Further, the opening 1a is not limited to the configuration in which the first conducting wire 5 is exposed, and the arrangement of the opening 1a and each conducting wire 5 are not limited.
And 6 sequences are taken into consideration. For example, the opening
When 1a is arranged at the position of 1a 'shown by the phantom line in FIG. 2, the two conducting wires 5 and 6 can face the inside of the opening 1a.

In the figure, N is a shift knob, which is composed of a shift knob core 1 and an exterior member 2.

[Effect of device]

As described above in detail, according to the configuration of the present invention, the conductor embedded in the shift knob for conducting the switch also has a function of locking the locking portion provided on the board, so that the opening of the shift knob is opened. There is no need to install a different locking member on the side, the structure is simple and the mold has a simple structure.
The price can be reduced.
