Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明はシフトレバーブーツの取付構造に係り、特に、シフトレバーブーツの固定強度を向上し得て、シフトレバーブーツの外れを防止し得て、また、シフトレバーブーツ単品での交換を可能とし得て、低コストに且つ容易に部品交換を実施し得るシフトレバーブーツの取付構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
車両においては、エンジンの発生する動力を充分に利用して円滑に車両を走行させるために、手動変速機や自動変速機を搭載している。手動変速機や自動変速機は、シフトレバーやセレクトレバー等のトランスミッションコントロールレバーにより変速段やレンジの切換えを行われる。シフトレバーやセレクトレバーは、レバー軸を車両の構成部材であるコンソールボックス等の開口部から車室内に突出させ、レバー軸の先端に把持用のノブを設け、基端側をコンソールボックス内において支持部により回動可能に支持している。
【0003】
コンソールボックス等の開口部から車室内にレバー軸を突出されるシフトレバーやセレクトレバーレバーは、外観を向上するためにレバー軸をシフトレバーブーツやセレクトレバーブーツにより覆っている。シフトレバーブーツやセレクトレバーブーツは、コンソールボックスの開口部から突出されるレバー軸に一端側を固定して設けるとともに、他端側を固定部材に固定して設けている。固定部材は、開口部周囲のコンソールボックスに取付けられる。
【0004】
このように、手動変速機のシフトレバー、自動変速機のセレクトレバーにかかわらず、コンソールボックス等の開口部から車室内に突出されるトランスミッションコントロールレバーの外観を向上するために、レバー軸を覆うようにシフトレバーブーツやセレクトレバーブーツを取付けて設けている。なお、以下においては、用語としてシフトレバーのレバー軸を覆うシフトレバーブーツを用い、シフトレバーブーツの取付構造を説明する。
【0005】
従来のシフトレバーブーツの取付構造としては、図11・図12に示すものがある。図において、102は図示しない車両の構成部材の開口部から車室内に突出される変速機のシフトレバー、104はレバー軸、106はノブ、108はシフトレバーブーツ、110は固定部材たるブーツベースである。シフトレバーブーツ108は、ゴム等の柔軟性を有する伸縮性素材により形成され、一端側にレバー軸用固定部112を設け、他端側にブーツ側固定部114を設けている。ブーツベース110には、ベース側固定部116を設けている。
【0006】
図11・図12に示すシフトレバーブーツ108は、他端側のブーツ側固定部114を伸張して拡開させ、ブーツベース110のベース側固定部116に弾性的に係合させることにより固定して設けている。
【0007】
また、図13・図14に示すシフトレバーブーツ208は、レザーや合成皮革等の柔軟性を有する非伸縮性素材により形成され、他端側のブーツ側固定部214をブーツベース210のベース側固定部216にタッカ218で止めることにより固定して設けている。
【0008】
さらに、図15・図16に示すシフトレバーブーツ308は、レザーや合成皮革等の柔軟性を有する非伸縮性素材により形成され、他端側のブーツ側固定部314に鋼線や樹脂部品等の補助固定部材320を組み付け、この補助固定部材320を組み付けたブーツ側固定部314をブーツベース310のベース側固定部316に係合することにより固定して設けている。
【0009】
このようなシフトレバーブーツの取付構造としては、実開昭64−14528号公報、実開平4−19324号公報、実開昭61−159224号公報、実開昭59−142133号公報に開示されるものがある。
【0010】
実開昭64−14528号公報に開示されるものは、コンソールボックスの開口と略同一形状のフレームの外周端部に係止爪を形成し、シフトレバーブーツの下端近傍のスリットに係止爪を挿通してフレームに取付け、フレームをコンソールボックスに取付けたときに、シフトレバーブーツのスリットよりも内側部分をフレームとコンソールボックスとによって挟圧して固定するものである。
【0011】
実開平4−19324号公報に開示されるものは、ボディパネルの開口縁に固定されるシフトレバーパネルの外周のフランジに折り返し可能な固定用押さえ片を一体に形成し、フランジに固定用押さえ片を折り返してシフトレバーブーツの下端部を挟持するとともに、固定用押さえ片の係合爪をシフトレバーブーツの固定用孔を挿通してフランジの係合孔に係合させることにより、固定するものである。
【0012】
実開昭61−159224号公報に開示されるものは、シフトレバーをカバーする縫製ブーツの下端を予めフィニッシャ枠体に組み付ける縫製ブーツにおいて、フィニッシャ枠体の内側に沿って部分的に凸状部を形成し、この凸状部に対応する凹状部を有する断面コ字状ホルダを前記枠体に縫製ブーツを介在させながら嵌込み、固定するものである。
【0013】
実開昭59−142133号公報に開示されるものは、コンソールボックスの上部に取付けられるブーツ取付枠を、下方に突出する鍔部を形成した雄枠と鍔部に嵌合される溝部を有するとともに雄枠にヒンジにより連結される雌枠とから構成し、これら雄枠と雌枠との間にシフトレバーブーツの裾部を挟持して固定するものである。
【0014】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、前記図11・図12に示すシフトレバーブーツ108は、ゴム等の柔軟性を有する伸縮性素材により形成していることにより、シフトレバーブーツ108の弾性復元力を利用してブーツベース110に固定することができる。
【0015】
これに対して、レザーや合成皮革等の柔軟性を有する非伸縮性素材により形成されるシフトレバーブーツは、図11・図12に示すシフトレバーブーツ108のように弾性復元力を利用して固定することができない問題がある。
【0016】
そこで、柔軟性を有する非伸縮性素材により形成されるシフトレバーブーツは、図13・図14に示す如くブーツベース210のベース側固定部216にブーツ側固定部214をタッカ218で止めることにより固定して設け、あるいは、図15・図16に示す如くブーツベース310のベース側固定部316に補助固定部材320を組み付けたブーツ側固定部314を係合させることにより固定して設けている。
【0017】
ところが、図13・図14に示すシフトレバーブーツ208の取付構造は、部品点数を削減することができる一方で、タッカ218によって固定しているため、十分な固定強度を得ることが困難な不都合があり、シフトレバーブーツ208に破断を生じた場合に、ブーツベース210までアッセンブリ交換しなければならず、コストアップを招く不都合がある。
【0018】
また、図15・図16に示すシフトレバーブーツ308の取付構造は、ブーツベース310のベース側固定部316にブーツ側固定部314を係合して固定しているため、十分な固定強度を得ることが困難な不都合があり、シフトレバーブーツ308に外力が作用した場合に、ブーツベース310からブーツ側固定部314が抜脱するおそれがある。
【0019】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで、この発明は、上述の不都合を除去するために、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ように一端側を前記レバー軸に固定するとともに他端側を枠状の固定部材を介して前記開口部周囲の構成部材に固定したシフトレバーブーツの取付構造において、前記シフトレバーブーツは他端側にこのシフトレバーブーツから外方に拡がるブーツ側固定部を備え、前記ブーツ側固定部に枠状の補強部材を取付け、前記固定部材を互いに係合及び離脱が可能であるとともに対向する側から前記補強部材を挟んで固定する内側固定部材と外側固定部材とで構成し、前記内側固定部材に前記補強部材に沿う枠状の内側本体とこの内側本体から補強部材の内側を貫通してシフトレバーブーツ内に突出する筒状の内側突縁部とを形成し、前記外側固定部材に前記内側本体に隙間を隔てて対向する板状の外側本体とこの外側本体から前記内側突縁部の外周に嵌合するように突出する筒状の外側突縁部とを形成し、前記補強部材の内周を前記内側突縁部の外周に係合させて補強部材の位置決めを行うとともに前記内側本体と前記外側突縁部の先端で前記補強部材を挟み、且つ前記内側突縁部の外周面と前記外側突縁部の内周面で前記シフトレバーブーツを挟む構造としたことを特徴とする。
【0020】
【発明の実施の形態】
この発明のシフトレバーブーツの取付構造は、内側固定部材と外側固定部材との係合によって挟まれて固定されるシフトレバーブーツのブーツ側固定部を補強部材により補強することができ、シフトレバーブーツに外力が作用しても内側固定部材と外側固定部材との間からブーツ側固定部が抜脱するおそれがなく、また、内側固定部材と外側固定部材との係合を解除することによってシフトレバーブーツを容易に外すことができる。
【0021】
【実施例】
以下図面に基づいて、この発明の実施例を説明する。図1〜図6は、この発明の第1実施例を示すものである。図5・図6において、2は図示しない車両の構成部材であるインストルメントパネル、4は開口部、6は車室、8は図示しない変速機のシフトレバー、10はレバー軸、12はノブ、14はシフトレバーブーツ、16は開口部4の周囲のインストルメントパネル2に取付けられる固定部材、18はガーニッシュである。
【0022】
車両のインストルメントパネル2の開口部4から車室6内に突出されるシフトレバー8は、車室6内に突出されるレバー軸10の先端に把持用のノブ12を設け、基端側をインストルメントパネル2内において支持部20により回動可能に支持している。シフトレバー8は、外観を向上するためにレバー軸10をシフトレバーブーツ14により覆っている。
【0023】
シフトレバーブーツ14は、図3に示す如く、レザーや合成皮革等の柔軟性を有する非伸縮性素材により略先細り四角錐筒形状に形成されるブーツ本体22を設け、ブーツ本体22の一端側にレバー軸10に固定されるレバー軸用固定部24を設け、ブーツ本体22の他端側に固定部材16に固定されるブーツ側固定部26を設けている。レバー軸用固定部24は、略先細り筒形状に形成して設けている。ブーツ側固定部26は、ブーツ本体22に対して拡開して略四角枠形状に形成して設けている。
【0024】
シフトレバーブーツ14は、ブーツ本体22によりレバー軸10を覆うように、レバー軸10のノブ12側に一端側のレバー軸用固定部24を固定して設けるとともに、他端側のブーツ側固定部26を開口部4周囲のインストルメントパネル2に取付けられる固定部材16に固定して設けている。
【0025】
このシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、シフトレバーブーツ14の他端側に固定部材16に固定されるブーツ側固定部26を設けるとともに、このブーツ側固定部26に補強部材28を取付けて設けている。
【0026】
補強部材28は、図3に示す如く、合成樹脂等の可撓性を有する素材により略四角枠板形状の補強板部30を設け、補強板部30の中央部位に長四角形状の係合穴32を形成して設けている。補強部材28は、拡開されたブーツ側固定部26の、後述する内側固定部材36と接する内側に、補強板部30を縫製糸34によって縫い付けることにより取付けて設けている。
【0027】
開口部4周囲のインストルメントパネル2に取付けられる固定部材16は、図4に示す如く、内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38とにより構成している。
【0028】
内側固定部材36は、略長四角平板形状の内側本体40の中央部位に内側挿通孔42を形成して設け、内側挿通孔42の周縁に前記補強部材28の係合穴32に係合される短四角筒形状の内側突縁部44を突出させて設け、内側本体36の幅方向両縁に複数の内側係合片46を突出させて設けている。
【0029】
外側固定部材38は、略長四角平板形状の外側本体48の中央部位に外側挿通孔50を形成して設け、外側挿通孔50の周縁に前記内側突縁部44の外周に係合される短四角筒形状の外側突縁部52を突出させて設け、外側本体48の外周に短四角筒形状の外周部54を突出させて設け、外周部54の幅方向両縁に前記内側係合片46が係合される複数の外側係合孔56を形成して設けている。
【0030】
また、外側固定部材38は、外周部54の長手方向両縁に取付部58を突出させて設けている。取付部58は、図6に示す如く、前記インストルメントパネル2の開口部4周縁に形成したパネル側取付部60に取付具62により取付けられる。
【0031】
固定部材16は、図1・図2に示す如く、内側固定部材36の内側突縁部44に外側固定部材38の外側突縁部52を係合し、内側固定部材36の内側係合片46を外側固定部材38の外側係合孔56に係合することにより、シフトレバーブーツ14のブーツ側固定部材26及び補強部材28を挟んで固定する。
【0032】
次に、この実施例の作用を説明する。
【0033】
このシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、図4に示す如く、固定部材16の内側固定部材36の内側突縁部44をシフトレバーブーツ14の他端側から内側に挿入し、内側突縁部44をブーツ側固定部26の内側に取付けられた補強部材28の係合穴32に係合させて位置決めし、内側本体40に補強部材28を当接させる。
【0034】
次に、固定部材16の外側固定部材38の外側挿通孔50にシフトレバーブーツ14のブーツ本体22を挿通し、外側突縁部52を内側突縁部44に外装するよう係合して、外側突縁部52の内周と内側突縁部44の外周との間にブーツ側固定部26近傍のブーツ本体22を挟みつつ、ブーツ側固定部26に外側突縁部52の先端を当接させ、内側固定部材36の内側係合片46を外側固定部材38の外側係合孔56に係合させる。
【0035】
これにより、固定部材16は、図1・図2に示す如く、内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38とを互いに係合することにより、シフトレバーブーツ14のブーツ側固定部材26及び補強部材28を内側本体40及び内側突縁部44と外側突縁部52との間に挟んで固定することができる。また、固定部材16は、内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38との係合を解除することにより、シフトレバーブーツ14をブーツ側固定部材26及び補強部材28から外すことができる。
【0036】
シフトレバーブーツ14を固定した固定部材16は、外側固定部材38の外周部54の長手方向両縁の取付部58を、インストルメントパネル2の開口部4周縁のパネル側取付部60に取付具62により取付けられる。インストルメントパネル2に取付けられた固定部材16は、ガーニッシュ18により覆われる。
【0037】
このように、このシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、シフトレバーブーツ14の他端側に固定部材16に固定されるブーツ側固定部26を設けるとともにこのブーツ側固定部26に補強部材28を取付けて設け、固定部材16は互いに係合することによりブーツ側固定部26及び補強部材28を挟んで固定する内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38とにより構成している。
【0038】
これにより、このシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38との係合によって挟まれて固定されるシフトレバーブーツ14のブーツ側固定部26を補強部材28により補強することができ、シフトレバーブーツ14に外力が作用しても内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38との間からブーツ側固定部26が抜脱するおそれがなく、また、内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38との係合を解除することによってシフトレバーブーツ14を容易に外すことができる。
【0039】
このため、このシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、シフトレバーブーツ14の固定強度を向上することができ、シフトレバーブーツ14の外れを防止し得て、また、シフトレバーブーツ14が破断等した場合にシフトレバーブーツ14単品での交換を可能とし得て、低コストに且つ容易に部品交換を実施することができる。
【0040】
また、シフトレバーブーツ14は、レザーや合成皮革等の柔軟性を有する非伸縮性素材により形成して設け、ブーツ側固定部26に補強部材28を取付け、ブーツ側固定部26及び補強部材28を挟んで固定していることにより、従来のタッカによる固定のように、ブーツ側固定部26に穴があけることなく固定しているので、ブーツ側固定部26が破断するおそれを回避することができ、また、整備の際に固定部材16からシフトレバーブーツ14を外して再び取付けた場合にも、穴があけられることがないので、商品力の向上に貢献することができる。
【0041】
さらに、補強部材28は、ブーツ側固定部26に縫製糸34によって縫い付けることにより取付けて設けていることにより、構造が簡単であり、容易に取付けることができる。さらにまた、補強部材28は、ブーツ側固定部26の、内側固定部材36と接する内側に取付けて設けていることにより、シフトレバーブーツ14のレバー本体22の内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38との挟み込まれた部位の曲がり度合いを緩やかにすることができ、曲げ応力を小さくして損傷や破断のおそれを無くすことができ、品質向上とメインテナンスフリー化に貢献することができる。
【0042】
図7は、第2実施例を示すものである。第2実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14は、内側固定部材36の内側突縁部52の先端側に緩やかに湾曲する内側湾曲部64を形成して設け、外側固定部材36の外側突縁部52の先端側に前記内側湾曲部64と略一致して緩やかに湾曲する外側湾曲部66を形成して設け、ブーツ側固定部26近傍のブーツ本体22を内側湾曲部64と外側湾曲部66とによりを緩やかに湾曲させて挟みつつ、シフトレバーブーツ14のブーツ側固定部材26及び補強部材28を内側本体40及び内側突縁部44と外側突縁部52との間に挟んで固定するものである。
【0043】
第2実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、内側固定部材36の緩やかに湾曲する内側湾曲部64と外側固定部材36の外側湾曲部66とによって、ブーツ側固定部26近傍のブーツ本体22を内側湾曲部64と外側湾曲部66とによりを急激に曲げることなく緩やかに湾曲させて挟むことができることにより、第1実施例よりも曲げ応力を小さくして損傷や破断のおそれを無くすことができ、品質向上とメインテナンスフリー化にさらに貢献することができる。
【0044】
図8は、第3実施例を示すものである。第3実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14は、略四角枠形状のブーツ側固定部26の全周に複数のブーツ側挿通孔68を形成して設け、略四角枠板形状の補強部材28に前記ブーツ側挿通孔68に合致する補強部材側挿通孔70を形成して設け、内側固定部材36の内側突縁部52周囲の内側本体40に前記ブーツ側挿通孔68及び補強部材側挿通孔70に合致する複数の内側係止孔72を形成して設け、外側固定部材36の外側突縁部52の先端側に前記ブーツ側挿通孔68及び補強部材側挿通孔70に合致するとともに前記内側係止孔72に係止される複数の外側係止片74を突出させて形成して設けたものである。
【0045】
第3実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、内側固定部材36の内側本体40に補強部材28を当接させ、内側固定部材36の内側係合片46を外側固定部材38の外側係合孔56に係合させるとともに、外側固定部材38の外側係止片74を内側固定部材36の内側係止孔72に係止させることにより、内側固定部材36と外側固定部材38とを堅固に係合させることができるとともに、内側係止孔72に係止させる外側係止片74をブーツ側固定部26のブーツ側挿通孔68及び補強部材28の補強部材側挿通孔70に挿通させていることにより、ブーツ側固定部26及び補強部材28の抜脱を確実に防止することができ、シフトレバーブーツ14の固定強度をさらに向上することができる。
【0046】
図9は、第4実施例を示すものである。第4実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14は、内側固定部材36の内側突縁部44の先端側に内側突起体76を形成して設け、外側固定部材36の外側突縁部52の基端側に前記内側突起体76と対向する外側突起体78を形成して設け、内側固定部材36の外側固定部材36との係合により内側突起体76と外側突起体78とを弾性当接させたものである。
【0047】
第4実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、シフトレバーブーツ14が引っ張られた際に、互いに弾性当接される内側突起体76と外側突起体78とがブーツ側固定部26近傍のブーツ本体22に食い込むことにより、ブーツ側固定部26の抜脱を阻止することができ、シフトレバーブーツ14の固定強度をさらに向上することができる。
【0048】
図10は、第5実施例を示すものである。第5実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14は、内側固定部材36の内側突縁部44の基端側に内側押圧体80を形成して設け、外側固定部材36の外側突縁部52の先端側に前記内側押圧体80と対向する外側押圧体82を形成して設け、内側固定部材36の内側突縁部44の先端側とブーツ側固定部26近傍のブーツ本体22とを内側連結体84により連結して設けるとともに、このブーツ本体22の内側連結体84が連結された部位と外側固定部材36の外側突縁部52の基端側とを外側連結体86により連結して設けたものである。
【0049】
第5実施例のシフトレバーブーツ14の取付構造は、シフトレバーブーツ14が引っ張られた際に、内側連結体84と外側連結体86とによって夫々内側突縁部44の基端側と外側突縁部52の先端側とを近接させるように変形させることにより、対向する内側押圧体80と外側押圧体82とによってブーツ側固定部26近傍のブーツ本体22を押圧保持することができ、ブーツ側固定部26の抜脱を阻止することができ、シフトレバーブーツ14の固定強度をさらに向上することができる。
【0050】
【発明の効果】
このように、この発明のシフトレバーブーツの取付構造は、内側固定部材と外側固定部材との係合によって挟まれて固定されるシフトレバーブーツの他端側のブーツ側固定部を補強部材により補強することができ、シフトレバーブーツに外力が作用しても内側固定部材と外側固定部材との間からブーツ側固定部が抜脱するおそれがなく、また、内側固定部材と外側固定部材との係合を解除することによってシフトレバーブーツを容易に外すことができる。
【0051】
このため、このシフトレバーブーツの取付構造は、シフトレバーブーツの固定強度を向上することができ、シフトレバーブーツの外れを防止し得て、また、シフトレバーブーツが破断等した場合にシフトレバーブーツ単品での交換を可能とし得て、低コストに且つ容易に部品交換を実施することができる。
