DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a parking brake lever cover mounting structure.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIGS. 10 to 12 show a conventional parking brake lever cover mounting structure, and show a structure near a parking brake lever (not shown) of a console box 1 in a vehicle.

In this structure, a hole 2 is provided in an upper portion of the console box 1 so that a parking brake lever (not shown) is exposed to the outside of the console box 1 through the hole, and a parking brake lever cover 3 is attached to the console box 1. It is fixed to the periphery of the hole 2.

Here, the parking brake lever cover 3 is formed in a substantially conical cylindrical shape, and a wire 4 for holding the shape and for mounting and engaging, which will be described later, is sewn into a peripheral edge of the lower end thereof. ing.

As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the parking brake lever cover 3 has its front and rear ends engaged with the inside of the front and rear edges of the hole 2 of the console box 1 as shown in FIGS. It is attached to the console box 1.

Thus, a gap formed between the parking brake lever (not shown) and the console box 1 is sealed.

The parking brake lever cover 3
As shown in FIG. 11, the left and right ends of the lower end of the cover 2 are placed and engaged on ribs 5 and 5 having an L-shaped cross section provided on the right and left sides of the periphery of the hole 2 of the console box 1.

[0008]

By the way, in the conventional parking brake lever cover mounting structure, the hole 2 is provided at the upper end of the console box 1 so that
The rigidity of the side wall portion 1a of the console box was insufficient, and deformation such as undulation was likely to occur, which was not preferable in appearance.

When the parking brake lever is provided near the console box 2, the console 1
It is preferable to provide a not-shown concave portion, position the parking brake lever in the concave portion, and dispose the parking brake lever as low as possible.

However, in the above mounting structure, since the parking brake lever cover 3 is merely engaged with the inside of the hole 2 of the console box 1, the above-described concave portion is formed on the upper portion of the console box 1. And it is difficult to attach the parking brake lever cover 3 to the console box 1 so that the parking brake lever cover 3 extends outside through the recess.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has a good appearance, and a parking brake lever cover in which a recess for a parking brake lever is provided in a console box to easily attach a parking brake lever cover. It is intended to provide a mounting structure.

[0012]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a hole is provided in a console box, a parking brake lever is made to face the outside of the console box through the hole, and a parking brake lever is provided. the cover is fixed to the periphery of the hole of the console box, with, in the parking brake lever cover mounting structure sealed the gap can be between the parking brake lever and the console box, the console
The box has recesses along its top and side walls.
In the recess, the hole is provided over the horizontal and vertical portions.
Only, further provided with reinforcing plate on the inside of the side wall portion of the console box, the lower end portion of the parking brake lever cover a structure that is fixed to the reinforcing plate.
