Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、乗員の足を載せるフットレストを車室のフロア面の前端から斜め前方に立上るトーボードに略沿う前上りの傾斜姿勢で配置する車両用フットレスト装置に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種のフットレスト装置として、実公昭６４−６３５２号公報により、フットレストをトーボードに着座させた状態でその横方向一側部をフロア面から立上る前後方向に延在するサイドシル等のフロア立上り部に固定したものが知られている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、正面衝突時にトーボードが後方に起立するように回転変位することがある。そして、上記従来例のようにフットレストがトーボードに着座していると、トーボードの回転変位でフットレストが前上りの傾斜姿勢から起立し、フットレストに乗せている乗員の足とすねとの成す角度が減少させられる。
【０００４】
この場合、フットレストをトーボードから浮かせた状態でその横方向一側部をフロア立上り部に固定し、トーボードが変形してもフットレストが起立しないようにすることが考えられるが、これではフットレストが横方向一側部で片持ち支持されることになり、フットレストが横方向他側部を自由端として振動し、フットレストの安定性が損われる。
【０００５】
本発明は、以上の点に鑑み、トーボードの回転変位によるフットレストの起立を抑制して、且つ、フットレストの安定性も確保し得るようにしたフットレスト装置を提供することを課題としている。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決すべく、本発明は、乗員の足を載せるフットレストを車室のフロア面の前端から斜め前方に立上るトーボードに略沿う前上りの傾斜姿勢で配置する車両用フットレスト装置であって、フットレストの横方向一側部をフロア面からから立上る前後方向に延在するフロア立上り部に固定するものにおいて、フットレストをトーボードから浮かせ、フットレストの裏面の横方向他側部の前端部分に下方にのびる第１支持片を取付けると共に、該他側部の後端部分に前方にのびる第２支持片を取付けて、両支持片をトーボードに連結し、フットレストの横方向他側部の前後方向中間部分に切欠きを形成すると共に、フットレストの横方向他側の外側縁の切欠きの前方部分と後方部分とに下方に屈曲したフランジを形成し、第１と第２の両支持片のトーボードに対する連結部を切欠きに臨む位置に設け、各支持片のフットレストに対する取付部を連結部よりフットレストの横方向内側にオフセットしている。
【０００７】
本発明によれば、フットレストの横方向他側部が第１と第２の両支持片を介してトーボードに支持されることになり、フットレストの振動が抑制される。
【０００８】
また、正面衝突時にトーボードが後方に起立するように回転変位した場合、第１支持片と第２支持片とが座屈してトーボードの回転変位が吸収され、フットレストの起立が抑制される。この場合、第２支持片のみが座屈するとフットレストが起立する可能性があるが、第１支持片の長さを第２支持片の長さより長くしておけば、第１支持片の方が第２支持片よりも座屈し易くなり、フットレストの起立を確実に抑制できる。
【０００９】
また、第１支持片と第２支持片とをトーボードに対する連結部で一体に連続する単一の部材で構成すれば、第１支持片と第２支持片とを別々に設けるものに比し部品点数を削減してコストダウンを図ることができ、有利である。
【００１０】
ところで、フットレストをスペース効率良く取付けるには、第１と第２の両支持片をフットレストの横幅内でトーボードに連結することが望まれる。この場合、フットレストの横方向他側部の前後方向中間部分に切欠きを形成し、両支持片のトーボードに対する連結部を切欠きに臨む位置に設ければ、連結部を切欠きに挿入する工具でトーボードに作業性良く連結できる。このものにおいて、フットレストの剛性を高めるためには、フットレストの横方向他側の外側縁の切欠きの前方部分と後方部分とに下方に屈曲したフランジを形成することが望まれる。この場合、各支持片のフットレストに対する取付部を前記連結部よりフットレストの横方向内側にオフセットしておけば、座屈した支持片がフランジに干渉して、フットレストにトーボードの回転変位の影響が及ぶことを可及的に抑制でき、有利である。
【００１１】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１及び図２を参照して、１は車体のフロアパネルであり、フロアパネル１で構成される車室のフロア面１ａの前端から斜め前方に立上るトーボード２と、トーボード２の上端から上方にのびるダッシュボード３とを設け、これらトーボード２とダッシュボード３とで車室の前下部の隔壁を構成し、車室前部に乗員の足ａを載せるフットレスト４をトーボード２に略沿う前上りの傾斜姿勢で配置している。
【００１２】
フットレスト４は、鋼板製のフットレスト本体４０と、フットレスト本体４０の上面にボルト４１ａ止めした樹脂製の足載せ板４１とで構成されており、フロア面１ａから立上る前後方向に延在するフロア立上り部５に横方向一側部において固定されている。図示のものでフロア立上り部５は、サイドシル５ａと、サイドシル５ａの前端のフロントピラーロア５ｂであり、フットレスト本体４０に足載せ板４１の取付部から横方向一側方に張出す張出し部４２を形成して、張出し部４２の側端に２箇所の固定部４３，４４を設け、フットレスト４をトーボード２及びフロアパネル１から浮かせた状態で両固定部４３，４４をサイドシル５ａとフロントピラーロア５ｂとにボルト４５止めしている。
【００１３】
フットレスト本体４０の裏面の横方向他側部には、その前端部分から下方にのびる第１支持片６1と、その後端部分から前方にのびる第２支持片６2とがスポット溶接等で取付けられており、第１と第２の両支持片６1，６2をトーボード２に連結して、フットレスト４の横方向他側部を両支持片６1，６2を介してトーボード２に支持させている。
【００１４】
両支持片６1，６2は鋼板製であるが、フットレスト本体４０が肉厚（例えば３．２ｍｍ）であるのに対し肉薄（例えば１．６ｍｍ）であり、フットレスト本体４０の曲げ強度よりも両支持片６1，６2の座屈強度の方が弱くなるようにしている。また、図示のものでは両支持片６1，６2をトーボード２に対する連結部６０で一体に連続する単一の部材で構成して、部品点数の削減によるコストダウンを図っている。そして、トーボード２に植設したボルト６１を連結部６０に形成した取付穴に挿通し、ボルト６１に螺合するナット６２で連結部６０をトーボード２に締結している。また、第１支持片６1の長さは第２支持片６2の長さより長くなっている。
【００１５】
フットレスト本体４０の横方向他側部の前後方向中間部分には図３に示す如く切欠き４６が形成されており、連結部６０を切欠き４６に臨む位置に設けている。連結部６０の連結作業、即ち、ナット６２の締付作業は足載せ板４１を取付ける前に行うもので、インパクトレンチ等の工具を切欠き４６に挿入することによりナット６２の締付作業を作業性良く行うことができる。
【００１６】
また、フットレスト本体４０の横方向他側の外側縁の切欠き４６の前方部分と後方部分には、フットレスト４の剛性を高めるために、下方に屈曲するフランジ４７が形成されている。そして、第１と第２の各支持片６1，６2のフットレスト４に対する取付部６1ａ，６2ａを連結部６０よりもフットレスト４の横方向内側にオフセットしている。かくて、各支持片６1，６2は、図４に示す如く、連結部６０からフットレスト４に向けて横方向内側に傾斜してのびる。
【００１７】
以上の構成によれば、フットレスト４の横方向他側部が第１と第２の両支持片６1，６2を介してトーボード２に支持されるため、フットレスト４の振動が抑制されて、フットレスト４の安定性が確保される。
【００１８】
また、正面衝突時にトーボード２が図２（Ｂ）に示す如く後方に回転変位すると、連結部６０がトーボード２の下端を中心にした円弧軌跡に沿って上方及び後方に変位する。ここで、フットレスト４の横方向一側部を固定するフロア立上り部５は容易には変形せず、且つ、フットレスト本体４０の曲げ強度より第１と第２の両支持片６1，６2の座屈強度の方が弱いため、連結部６０の上方変位によって第１支持片６1が座屈すると共に、連結部６０の後方変位によって第２支持片６2が座屈し、両支持片６1，６2の座屈によってトーボード２の回転変位が吸収され、フットレスト４がねじれてその横方向他側部が所定の傾斜姿勢から起立することが抑制される。尚、第２支持片６2のみが座屈するとフットレスト４が起立するが、第１支持片６1の方が第２支持片６2よりも長く座屈し易いため、フットレスト４の起立が確実に抑制される。かくて、乗員の足ａとすねｂとの成す角度が減少させられることを防止できる。
【００１９】
また、各支持片６1，６2が座屈する際にフットレスト４のフランジ４７に干渉すると、トーボード２の回転変位をそれ以上吸収できなくなって、フットレスト４がトーボード２により突き動かされるが、各支持片６1，６2は上記の如くフットレスト４の横方向内側に傾斜してフランジ４７から逃げているためフランジ４７に干渉することなく座屈する。そのため、トーボード２の回転変位の吸収量を充分に確保でき、トーボード２からフットレスト４を介して足ａに作用する衝撃を緩和できる。
【００２０】
また、上記実施形態では、フットレスト４をトーボード２だけで無くフロアパネル１からも浮かしており、そのため、フロアパネル１からフットレスト４を介して足ａに作用する衝撃も緩和できる。
【００２１】
以上、フロア立上り部５たるサイドシル５ａとフロントピラーロア５ｂとにフットレスト４の横方向一側部を固定するものについて説明したが、フロアトンネル部をフロア立上り部としてこれにフットレストの横方向一側部を固定する場合にも同様に本発明を適用できる。
【００２２】
【発明の効果】
以上の説明から明らかなように、請求項１の発明によれば、トーボードの後方への回転変位によるフットレストの起立を抑制して、且つ、フットレストの安定性も確保でき、更に、請求項２の発明によれば、フットレストの起立を一層確実に防止でき、而も、請求項３の発明によれば、部品点数を削減してコストダウンを図ることができる。また、請求項４の発明によれば、フットレストをスペース効率良く、且つ、作業性良く取付けことができると共に、支持片の座屈に際してのフットレストのフランジとの干渉を防止してトーボードの回転変位に対する吸収量を大きく確保することができ、乗員の足に作用する衝撃を緩和できる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a footrest device for a vehicle in which a footrest on which an occupant's foot is placed is disposed in a forwardly inclined posture substantially along a toe board that rises obliquely forward from a front end of a floor surface of a passenger compartment.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a footrest device of this type, according to Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 64-6352, the floor rising of a side sill or the like extending in the front-rear direction with one side in the lateral direction rising from the floor surface with the footrest seated on the toe board The thing fixed to the part is known.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, the toe board may be rotationally displaced so as to stand rearward at the time of a frontal collision. When the footrest is seated on the toe board as in the above-mentioned conventional example, the footrest rises from the tilted position of the front ascending due to the rotational displacement of the toe board, and the angle formed by the occupant's foot and the shin on the footrest decreases. Be made.
[0004]
In this case, it is conceivable that one side of the footrest is fixed to the floor rising part with the footrest floating from the toe board so that the footrest does not stand up even if the toe board is deformed. The footrest is cantilevered at one side, and the footrest vibrates with the other side in the lateral direction as a free end, and the stability of the footrest is impaired.
[0005]
In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a footrest device capable of suppressing the standing of the footrest due to the rotational displacement of the toe board and ensuring the stability of the footrest.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a vehicle footrest device in which a footrest on which an occupant's foot is placed is disposed in a forwardly inclined posture substantially along a toe board that rises diagonally forward from the front end of a floor surface of a passenger compartment. When fixing one side part of the footrest to the floor rising part extending in the front-rear direction rising from the floor surface, the footrest is lifted from the toe board and is lowered to the front end part of the other side part in the lateral direction on the back side of the footrest. Attach the first support piece that extends and attach the second support piece that extends forward to the rear end portion of the other side, connect the two support pieces to the toe board, and intermediate the front and rear sides of the other side in the lateral direction of the footrest A notch is formed in the portion, and a flange bent downward is formed in the front portion and the rear portion of the notch on the outer edge on the other side in the lateral direction of the footrest, and the first and second flanges are formed. Provided at a position facing the connecting portion for the toe board of the support piece notches are offset mounting portion laterally inside the footrest from the coupling member for the footrest of the support pieces.
[0007]
According to the present invention, the other lateral side portion of the footrest is supported by the toe board via both the first and second support pieces, and the vibration of the footrest is suppressed.
[0008]
Further, when the toe board is rotationally displaced so that it rises rearward at the time of a frontal collision, the first support piece and the second support piece buckle, and the rotational displacement of the toe board is absorbed, and the standing of the footrest is suppressed. In this case, if only the second support piece buckles, the footrest may stand up. However, if the length of the first support piece is set longer than the length of the second support piece, the first support piece is better. It becomes easier to buckle than the second support piece, and the standing of the footrest can be reliably suppressed.
[0009]
In addition, if the first support piece and the second support piece are formed of a single member that is integrally continuous at the connecting portion with respect to the toe board, it is a component as compared with the case where the first support piece and the second support piece are provided separately. This is advantageous because the number of points can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
[0010]
By the way, in order to attach the footrest efficiently in space, it is desired to connect both the first and second support pieces to the toe board within the lateral width of the footrest. In this case, if a notch is formed in the middle part in the front-rear direction on the other side in the lateral direction of the footrest, and the connecting part for the toe board of both support pieces is provided at a position facing the notch, the tool for inserting the connecting part into the notch It can be connected to the toe board with good workability. In this case, in order to increase the rigidity of the footrest, it is desired to form a flange bent downward at the front portion and the rear portion of the notch on the outer edge on the other side in the lateral direction of the footrest. In this case, if the mounting portion of each support piece with respect to the footrest is offset inward in the lateral direction of the footrest from the connecting portion, the buckled support piece interferes with the flange, and the footrest is affected by the rotational displacement of the toe board. This can be suppressed as much as possible, which is advantageous.
[0011]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a floor panel of a vehicle body. A toe board 2 that rises obliquely forward from a front end of a floor surface 1a of a passenger compartment constituted by the floor panel 1, and an upper side from an upper end of the toe board 2 A dashboard 3 is provided, and the toe board 2 and the dashboard 3 form a partition in the lower front part of the passenger compartment, and a footrest 4 for placing a passenger's foot a on the front part of the passenger compartment is substantially ascending along the toe board 2. It is arranged in an inclined posture.
[0012]
The footrest 4 is composed of a steel plate footrest body 40 and a resin footrest plate 41 secured to the upper surface of the footrest body 40 by bolts 41a, and the floor rises extending in the front-rear direction rising from the floor surface 1a. It is fixed to the part 5 at one lateral side. The floor rising portion 5 shown in the figure is a side sill 5a and a front pillar lower 5b at the front end of the side sill 5a, and a footrest body 40 is provided with an overhanging portion 42 projecting laterally from a mounting portion of the footrest plate 41. The two fixed portions 43 and 44 are provided at the side end of the overhang portion 42, and the fixed portions 43 and 44 are fixed to the side sill 5a and the front pillar lower 5b with the footrest 4 suspended from the toe board 2 and the floor panel 1. Bolts 45 are fastened.
[0013]
The lateral other side of the rear surface of the footrest main body 40, a first support piece 6 1 extending from the front end portion downwards, and a second support piece 6 2 extending forwardly mounted by spot welding or the like from the rear end portion The first and second support pieces 6 1 , 6 2 are connected to the toe board 2, and the other lateral side of the footrest 4 is supported on the toe board 2 via the two support pieces 6 1 , 6 2. ing.
[0014]
Both support pieces 6 1 , 6 2 are made of steel plates, but the footrest body 40 is thin (eg, 3.2 mm) while being thin (eg, 1.6 mm), which is greater than the bending strength of the footrest body 40. The buckling strengths of both support pieces 6 1 and 6 2 are made weaker. Further, in the illustrated example, both support pieces 6 1 , 6 2 are formed of a single member that is integrally continuous with a connecting portion 60 for the toe board 2 to reduce the cost by reducing the number of parts. Then, the bolt 61 planted in the toe board 2 is inserted into an attachment hole formed in the connecting part 60, and the connecting part 60 is fastened to the toe board 2 with a nut 62 screwed into the bolt 61. The length of the first support piece 61 is longer than the length of the second support piece 6 2.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 3, a notch 46 is formed in the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the other side portion of the footrest body 40 in the lateral direction, and the connecting portion 60 is provided at a position facing the notch 46. The connecting operation of the connecting portion 60, that is, the tightening operation of the nut 62 is performed before the footrest plate 41 is attached. The tightening operation of the nut 62 is performed by inserting a tool such as an impact wrench into the notch 46. It can be done with good performance.
[0016]
In addition, flanges 47 that are bent downward are formed on the front and rear portions of the notches 46 on the outer edge on the other side of the footrest body 40 in order to increase the rigidity of the footrest 4. Then, the attachment portions 6 1 a and 6 2 a of the first and second support pieces 6 1 and 6 2 with respect to the footrest 4 are offset from the connecting portion 60 inward in the lateral direction of the footrest 4. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4, the support pieces 6 1 , 6 2 are inclined inward in the lateral direction from the connecting portion 60 toward the footrest 4.
[0017]
According to the above configuration, since the other lateral portion of the footrest 4 is supported by the toe board 2 via the first and second support pieces 6 1 and 6 2 , vibration of the footrest 4 is suppressed, The stability of the footrest 4 is ensured.
[0018]
Further, when the toe board 2 is rotationally displaced rearward as shown in FIG. 2B during a frontal collision, the connecting portion 60 is displaced upward and rearward along an arc locus centering on the lower end of the toe board 2. Here, the floor rising part 5 for fixing the lateral one side portion of the footrest 4 is not easy to deformation, and, in the footrest main body 40 bending strength than the first and the second of the two support pieces 6 1, 6 2 for better buckling strength is weak, the first support piece 6 1 by the upper displacement of the connecting portion 60 buckles, succumbed second support piece 6 2 by the rear displacement of the connecting portion 60 is the seat, both support pieces 6 1, by 6 2 buckling it is absorbed rotational displacement of the toe board 2, the transverse direction the other side is prevented from rising from the predetermined inclination posture twist footrest 4. Although the only the second support piece 6 2 buckles footrest 4 is standing, liable better of the first support piece 6 1 long buckled than the second support piece 6 2, ensures that the standing of the footrest 4 It is suppressed. Thus, it is possible to prevent the angle between the occupant's foot a and the shin b from being reduced.
[0019]
Further, when each support piece 6 1 , 6 2 is buckled and interferes with the flange 47 of the footrest 4, the rotational displacement of the toeboard 2 can no longer be absorbed and the footrest 4 is pushed by the toeboard 2. Since the pieces 6 1 and 6 2 are inclined inward in the lateral direction of the footrest 4 and escape from the flange 47 as described above, they buckle without interfering with the flange 47. Therefore, a sufficient amount of rotational displacement of the toe board 2 can be secured, and an impact acting on the foot a from the toe board 2 through the footrest 4 can be reduced.
[0020]
Moreover, in the said embodiment, the footrest 4 floats not only from the toe board 2 but from the floor panel 1, Therefore The impact which acts on the leg | foot a via the footrest 4 from the floor panel 1 can also be relieve | moderated.
[0021]
The description has been given above of fixing the lateral one side of the footrest 4 to the side sill 5a and the front pillar lower 5b as the floor rising part 5, but the floor tunnel part is used as the floor rising part and the lateral one side part of the footrest is connected thereto. The present invention can be similarly applied to the case of fixing.
[0022]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, according to the invention of claim 1, it is possible to suppress the standing of the footrest due to the rotational displacement of the toe board to the rear, and to secure the stability of the footrest. According to the invention, it is possible to prevent the footrest from standing up more reliably. According to the invention of claim 3, it is possible to reduce the number of parts and reduce the cost. According to the invention of claim 4, the footrest can be mounted with good space efficiency and good workability, and it is possible to prevent interference with the flange of the footrest during buckling of the support piece, and against the rotational displacement of the toe board. A large amount of absorption can be secured, and the impact acting on the occupant's feet can be reduced.
