Description
現代の自動車、及びシュミレーションソフトのコントローラーとしての、ステアリングシャフトを乗員操作部材が回転させる構造のステアリングであり、ただし、自転車、三輪車などのように、ステアリングシャフトとフロントフォークが一体となっていて、ステアリングシャフトの回転を直接操舵輪の操舵回転として伝える構造ではないステアリングの、乗員操作部材に関するものである。
It is a steering structure in which the occupant operating member rotates the steering shaft as a controller for modern automobiles and simulation software. However, like bicycles and three-wheeled vehicles, the steering shaft and front fork are integrated, and the steering is steered. It relates to a occupant operating member of the steering, which is not a structure that directly transmits the rotation of the shaft as the steering rotation of the steering wheel.
自動運転自動車も考案されている現在、ステアリングの構造は常に技術の革新が求められている。
Now that self-driving cars are being devised, the steering structure is constantly in need of technological innovation.
手の持ち替えをしなくても、ステアリングをグリップしたままの状態で、より大きな回転範囲を素早く正確にコントロールできる、自動運転自動車にもふさわしいスマートなステアリングの構築。
Building a smart steering suitable for self-driving cars that can quickly and accurately control a larger rotation range while holding the steering grip without having to change hands.
以下の乗員操作部材１を有するステアリングを構築する。
現代の自動車、或いはシュミレーションソフトのコントローラーとしての、ステアリングシャフトを乗員操作部材１が回転させる構造のステアリングであり、ただし、自転車、二輪車、三輪車などのように、ステアリングシャフトとフロントフォークとが一体となっていたりして、ステアリングシャフトの回転を直接操舵輪の操舵一体回転として伝える構造ではないステアリングにおいて、車両の直進状態で、ハブ中心２を通る水平線（水平面）３よりも下側にあり、下向きに凸状であり、いかなる車両の進行状態でも手のひらが触れ易いように先端に丸みを持たせた凸状であるが、バー状、棒状やパイプ状ではなく、又、いかなる車両の進行状態でも乗員操作部材１として一体化されているグリップ部４を備えた乗員操作部材１。
乗員操作部材とはステアリングホイールの事であるが、例えば電気自動車の場合は特にホイール形態ではない場合もあるので、ステアリングホイールに相当する部材を乗員操作部材とした。
現代の自動車のステアリング・ギア機構はラックアンドピニオン方式であるが、本発明のステアリングも同様であり、自転車などはラックアンドピニオン方式ではないので本発明は、自転車、2輪車、３輪車等を除く。
A steering wheel having the following occupant operating member 1 is constructed.
It is a steering structure in which the occupant operating member 1 rotates the steering shaft as a controller for modern automobiles or simulation software. However, like bicycles, two-wheeled vehicles, and three-wheeled vehicles, the steering shaft and front fork are integrated. In steering, which is not a structure that directly transmits the rotation of the steering shaft as the steering integrated rotation of the steering wheel, it is below the horizontal line (horizontal plane) 3 passing through the hub center 2 in the straight-ahead state of the vehicle, and is downward. It is convex and has a rounded tip so that the palm can be easily touched even when the vehicle is in progress. An occupant operation member 1 having a grip portion 4 integrated as the member 1.
The occupant operating member is a steering wheel, but in the case of an electric vehicle, for example, it may not be in the form of a wheel, so a member corresponding to the steering wheel is used as the occupant operating member.
The steering gear mechanism of a modern automobile is a rack and pinion system, but the steering of the present invention is also the same, and since a bicycle or the like is not a rack and pinion system, the present invention is a bicycle, a two-wheeled vehicle, a three-wheeled vehicle, etc. except for.
《同じ凸状のグリップであるけれども、同時にバー状、棒状やパイプ状であるのかどうかの違いについて。》
自転車などのグリップのように、棒状やパイプ状で凸状を形成している場合、凸状の先端部分とは棒状やパイプ状の先端の断面部分であり、手のひらは接触しない部分である事が多い。
一方、棒状やパイプ状の一部を折り曲げて凸状を形成した場合は、凸状の先端部分はカーブがきつくなっているところで、凸状ゆえに握りづらくなり、実際に手のひらが接触する部分はそれ以外のカーブの緩やかな部分なので、必ずしも凸状の先端部分に手のひらが接触するとは限らない。
すなわち、バー状、棒状やパイプ状のものを折り曲げて凸状にした場合、凸状の先端部分は実際にはグリップしない場所になる。
しかし、本発明の凸状のグリップ部４は、先端に丸みを持たせて、手のひらでグリップし易くしてあり、棒状やパイプ状ではないので、同じ凸状と言葉で表現したとしても、同時に棒状やパイプ状であるかどうかは大いに異なる形状である。
《The same convex grip, but at the same time, the difference between bar-shaped, rod-shaped and pipe-shaped. 》
When a rod-shaped or pipe-shaped convex shape is formed like a grip of a bicycle, the convex tip portion is a cross-sectional portion of the rod-shaped or pipe-shaped tip, and the palm may not touch. many.
On the other hand, when a rod-shaped or pipe-shaped part is bent to form a convex shape, the convex tip part has a tight curve, and because of the convex shape, it becomes difficult to grip, and the part where the palm actually touches is that. Since it is a gentle part of the curve other than the above, the palm does not always come into contact with the convex tip part.
That is, when a bar-shaped, rod-shaped or pipe-shaped object is bent into a convex shape, the convex tip portion becomes a place where the grip is not actually performed.
However, the convex grip portion 4 of the present invention has a rounded tip so that it can be easily gripped by the palm of the hand, and is not rod-shaped or pipe-shaped. Whether it is rod-shaped or pipe-shaped is a very different shape.
＝お手玉の原理＝
お手玉をする時には腕の力だけではなく手首のスナップ力も利用している。
すなわち、お手玉を上へ放り上げる時に使う手首の動きと似た動作で、手首のスナップの力を加えてステアリングホイールを操作すると、腕の力だけで動作するのよりも、より繊細で柔軟なステアリングのコントロールが可能となる。
この様に、お手玉一つは手のひらで包み込む形で握るのにちょうどよい大きさだから、手首のスナップを効果的に利用できるのと同様に、本発明の凸状のグリップ部４も手のひらで包み込む形でグリップするのに、程よい大きさになっている。
= Principle of beanbag =
When playing beanbags, not only the power of the arm but also the snap power of the wrist is used.
In other words, it is a movement similar to the movement of the wrist used when throwing the beanbag up, and when the steering wheel is operated by applying the force of the snap of the wrist, the steering is more delicate and flexible than the movement by the force of the arm alone. Can be controlled.
In this way, since one beanbag is just the right size to be wrapped in the palm of the hand, the convex grip portion 4 of the present invention is also wrapped in the palm of the hand, just as the snap of the wrist can be effectively used. It's a good size to grip with.
その１
左折するときに重要な働きをする右手について、手の持ち替えをしないで回せる回転範囲の比較を図３に示した。
従来のグリップ位置８から左へ回転させて、回転停止位置９まで回した時の、回転範囲をAとする。
続いて、ステアリングホイール１のハブ中心２よりも下側にある本発明のグリップ位置１０から同じ回転停止位置９まで回した時の回転範囲をBとすると、A<Bとなり、手の持ち替えをしないで回せる本発明の回転範囲Bは、従来の配転範囲Aよりはるかに大きくなる。
Part 1
FIG. 3 shows a comparison of the rotation range in which the right hand, which plays an important role when turning left, can be turned without changing hands.
Let A be the rotation range when the conventional grip position 8 is rotated to the left and the rotation is stopped at the rotation stop position 9.
Subsequently, if the rotation range when the steering wheel 1 is rotated from the grip position 10 of the present invention below the hub center 2 to the same rotation stop position 9 is B, then A <B and the hand is not changed. The rotation range B of the present invention that can be rotated by is much larger than the conventional transfer range A.
その２
乗員操作部材１の下の部分にグリップ部があるので、直進している時に不必要に腕を緊張して上げる必要がなく、腕はリラックスして下げたままでコントロール出来るので、その分前方注意に心がける余裕が生まれる。
Part 2
Since there is a grip part in the lower part of the occupant operation member 1, there is no need to unnecessarily tension and raise the arm when going straight, and the arm can be controlled while being relaxed and lowered, so be careful forward by that amount. There is room to keep in mind.
以下先行技術と比較して説明する。
特許文献１ 特開２０２０－０５５４４８との比較。
グリップ８は、アッパーバー８１、ロアバー８２、レフトバー８３、ライトバー８４よりなるが全て棒状であり、特に手のひらで触れやすいように先端に丸みを持たせた凸状の部分はない。しいて言うとバーが曲がっている部分が少し凸状ではあるが、その部分は凸状ゆえに他よりも角度が付いているためにバーをグリップしにくいところである。
すなわちグリップする場所はバーの曲がりが少ない直線部分であり、凸状の部分があったとしても凸状の先端部分はグリップしにくい場所となっている。
これに対して本発明のグリップ部は棒状やバー状ではないし、凸状の先端部分はグリップしやすく丸みを持たせているので、特許文献1とは大いに異なる。
Hereinafter, it will be described in comparison with the prior art.
Patent Document 1 Comparison with Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-0554448.
The grip 8 is composed of an upper bar 81, a lower bar 82, a left bar 83, and a right bar 84, all of which are rod-shaped, and there is no convex portion whose tip is rounded so that it can be easily touched by the palm. The bent part of the bar is a little convex, but because it is convex, it is more angled than the others, so it is difficult to grip the bar.
That is, the place to grip is a straight part where the bar is less bent, and even if there is a convex part, the convex tip part is a place where it is difficult to grip.
On the other hand, the grip portion of the present invention is not rod-shaped or bar-shaped, and the convex tip portion is easy to grip and has a rounded shape, which is significantly different from Patent Document 1.
特許文献２ 特開２０１９－１９６０４１との比較
車両の直進状態で、ステアリングのハブ中心を通る水平線より下側に凸状の部分があるけれど、その部分はグリップ部ではなく、グリップ部は左右にある訳なので、特許文献２は本発明とは異なる構造の異なる発明である。
Patent Document 2 Comparison with Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2019-196041 In a straight-ahead state of a vehicle, there is a convex portion below the horizontal line passing through the center of the steering hub, but that portion is not a grip portion, and the grip portions are on the left and right. Therefore, Patent Document 2 is an invention having a different structure from that of the present invention.
特許文献３ 実願平０５－０１３８６５号との比較
引用文献３のグリップ部は凸凹状であり、手のひらで触れやすいように先端に丸みを持たせて車両の直進状態で下向きに凸状になっている訳ではなく、同時に回転自在となっている。
これに対して本発明のグリップ部は手のひらで触れやすいように先端に丸みを持たせて車両の直進状態で下向きに凸状になっていて、乗員操作部材１と固定接続されていて回転自在ではないので、特許文献3と本発明と同一ではない。
Patent Document 3 Comparison with Japanese Patent Application No. 05-0138665
The grip portion of Cited Document 3 has an uneven shape, and the tip is rounded so that it can be easily touched by the palm of the hand.
On the other hand, the grip portion of the present invention has a rounded tip so that it can be easily touched by the palm of the hand, and is convex downward in the straight-ahead state of the vehicle. Therefore, it is not the same as Patent Document 3 and the present invention.
特許文献４ 実願平０４－０６１４００との比較
特許文献４のグリップ部の凸状の方向は車両の直進状態であっても運転手側の方向へ凸状であるが、本発明のグリップ部の凸状の方向は、車両の直進状態で、下向きに凸状である。
また、特許文献4のグリップ部は回転自在となっているが、本発明のグリップ部は乗員操作部材１（ステアリングホイール）として一体化されているのも相違点であるので、特許文献４と本発明とは異なる発明である。
Patent Document 4 Comparison with Japanese Patent Application No. 04-061400
The convex direction of the grip portion of Patent Document 4 is convex toward the driver even when the vehicle is traveling straight, but the convex direction of the grip portion of the present invention is that of the vehicle traveling straight. It is convex downward.
Further, although the grip portion of Patent Document 4 is rotatable, the grip portion of the present invention is integrated as the occupant operating member 1 (steering wheel), which is a difference from Patent Document 4. It is an invention different from the invention.
特許文献５ 特開平１０－１２９５００との比較
特許文献５の握り部１はステアリングに巻き付いて多少は太くなっているが、特に手のひらで触れやすいように先端に丸みを持たせて車両の直進状態で下向きに凸状の形態になっている訳ではないし、ハンドルＡに巻包着脱自在の構成となっている。
しかし本発明のグリップ部１は、手のひらで触れやすいように先端に丸みを持たせて車両の直進状態で下向きに凸状になっていて、乗員操作部材１（ステアリングホイール）として一体化されているので、特許文献5と本発明とは大いに異なる。
Patent Document 5 Comparison with Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-129500
The grip portion 1 of Patent Document 5 is wrapped around the steering wheel and is slightly thicker, but the tip is rounded so that it can be easily touched by the palm of the hand, and the grip portion 1 has a downwardly convex shape when the vehicle is traveling straight. However, it is configured so that the winding package can be attached to and detached from the handle A.
However, the grip portion 1 of the present invention has a rounded tip so that it can be easily touched by the palm of the hand, and is convex downward in the straight-ahead state of the vehicle, and is integrated as a occupant operation member 1 (steering wheel). Therefore, Patent Document 5 and the present invention are very different.
特許文献６ 実公昭４８－０３９７９６との比較
特許文献6は自転車なので、本発明とは関係がない。
しかしあえて比較すれば、確かに本発明と似たような場所にグリップがあるけれど、よく見るとグリップの形態は直線のパイプ状であり、グリップの先端に凸状の小さなパーツが存在するけれど、その部分はグリップ部をグリップした状態では手に触れない場所となっている。
これと比較して本発明のグリップは凸状であり、グリップ部をグリップした状態で実際に手に触れる場所に凸状の先端部分が存在している。
してみると、特許文献6と本発明とは全く異なる発明であると理解できよう。
Patent Document 6 Comparison with Jitsukosho 48-039796
Since Patent Document 6 is a bicycle, it has nothing to do with the present invention.
However, if you dare to compare, there is certainly a grip in a place similar to the present invention, but if you look closely, the shape of the grip is a straight pipe shape, and there are small convex parts at the tip of the grip. That part is a place that cannot be touched when the grip part is gripped.
In comparison with this, the grip of the present invention has a convex shape, and the convex tip portion exists at a place where the grip portion is actually touched with the grip portion gripped.
Then, it can be understood that Patent Document 6 and the present invention are completely different inventions.
特許文献７ 特開２０２０－０９３７８９との比較
特許文献6は自転車なので、本発明とは関係がない。
しかしあえて比較すれば、確かに本発明と似たような場所にグリップがあるけれど、よく見るとグリップの形態は直線のパイプ状であり、特に手のひらで触れやすいように先端に丸みを持たせて凸状になっている部分がある訳ではない。しかしあえてパイプの先端を凸状と見立てたとしても、その凸状になっている部分の先端はパイプの断面部分であり、グリップした状態では手の触れる場所ではない。
これに比較して本発明のグリップは凸状であり、この凸状のグリップの先端の丸みを持たせた部分をメインに手で触れてグリップする構造なので、特許文献7と本発明とは全く関係がない。
Patent Document 7 Comparison with Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-093789
Since Patent Document 6 is a bicycle, it has nothing to do with the present invention.
However, if you dare to compare, there is certainly a grip in a place similar to the present invention, but if you look closely, the shape of the grip is a straight pipe shape, especially with a rounded tip so that it is easy to touch with the palm of your hand. There is no convex part. However, even if the tip of the pipe is considered to be convex, the tip of the convex part is the cross-sectional part of the pipe and is not a place to be touched in the gripped state.
Compared to this, the grip of the present invention is convex, and since the structure is such that the rounded portion of the tip of the convex grip is mainly touched and gripped, Patent Document 7 and the present invention are completely different. It doesn't matter.
特許文献８ 米国特許第０８３４８２９４との比較
特許文献８は２輪車に関する発明である。
又、グリップ部は棒状であり、グリップ部の先端は実際には手のひらで触れる場所ではない。

特許文献１１ 米国特許出願公開第２００４／００１２１７５との比較
特許文献１１のグリップ部は棒状であり、グリップし易い場所は緩やかなカーブの棒状の部分であり、確かに凸状の部分があるが、この凸状の先端部分は棒状の角度が付いて曲がっている部分であり、手のひらでグリップしにくい場所である。
しかし、本発明のグリップ部は棒状ではなく、凸状の先端部分は手のひらでグリップし易いように丸みを持たせた構造となっているので、特許文献１１と本発明とは異なる発明と理解できる。
Patent Document 11 Comparison with US Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0012175
The grip portion of Patent Document 11 is rod-shaped, and the place where it is easy to grip is a rod-shaped portion with a gentle curve, and there is certainly a convex portion, but this convex tip portion is bent at a rod-shaped angle. It is a part that is difficult to grip with the palm of your hand.
However, since the grip portion of the present invention is not rod-shaped and the convex tip portion has a rounded structure so that it can be easily gripped by the palm, it can be understood that Patent Document 11 and the present invention are different from each other. ..
特許文献１２ 特開平１１－３４２８１９の比較
特許文献１２のグリップ部５L、５Rは回転自在で、実際にグリップする場所であるグリップ本体９L、９Rは棒状である。

Patent Document 12 Comparison of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-342819
The grip portions 5L and 5R of Patent Document 12 are rotatable, and the grip bodies 9L and 9R, which are the places where the grip is actually gripped, are rod-shaped.
On the other hand, since the grip portion of the present invention is integrated with the occupant operating member 1, it is not rotatable, and the convex tip that actually grips is a rounded portion, not a rod shape.
However, unlike Patent Document 12, the present invention is not the same.
以下、様々な実施形態を提示する。
Hereinafter, various embodiments will be presented.
現代の自動車、或いはシュミレーションソフトのコントローラーとしての、ステアリングシャフトを乗員操作部材１が回転させる構造のステアリングにおいて、車両が直進している時の乗員操作部材１の正面図を図１に示した。
この例では乗員操作部材１とはステアリングホイールの事である。
FIG. 1 shows a front view of the occupant operating member 1 when the vehicle is traveling straight in a steering structure in which the occupant operating member 1 rotates the steering shaft as a controller of a modern automobile or simulation software.
In this example, the occupant operating member 1 is a steering wheel.
このステアリングのステアリング・ギア機構はラックアンドピニオン方式を採用している。もしくは電子的に同様の機能を持たせている。
すなわち、このステアリングは、自転車、二輪車、オートバイ、三輪車などのように、ステアリングシャフトとフロントフォークとが一体となっていたりして、ステアリングシャフトの回転を直接操舵輪の操舵一体回転として伝える構造ではない。
The steering gear mechanism of this steering adopts a rack and pinion system. Alternatively, it has the same electronic function.
That is, this steering is not a structure in which the steering shaft and the front fork are integrated like a bicycle, a two-wheeled vehicle, a motorcycle, a three-wheeled vehicle, etc., and the rotation of the steering shaft is directly transmitted as the steering integrated rotation of the steering wheel. ..
リング状のリム５の一部から外側に向かって凸状のコブをグリップ部４として設けている。という事は、グリップ部４はリム５と常に一体化されている。すなわち、グリップ部４は、乗員操作部材１として一体化されている。
A hump that is convex outward from a part of the ring-shaped rim 5 is provided as the grip portion 4. That is, the grip portion 4 is always integrated with the rim 5. That is, the grip portion 4 is integrated as the occupant operating member 1.
又、左右それぞれのグリップ部４は、車両の直進状態で、ハブ中心２を通る水平線（水平面）３よりも下側にあり、下向きに凸状であり、又いかなる車両の進行状態でも手のひらが触れ易いように先端に丸みを持たせた凸状である。
Further, the left and right grip portions 4 are located below the horizontal line (horizontal plane) 3 passing through the hub center 2 in the straight-ahead state of the vehicle, and are convex downward, and the palm touches the vehicle in any traveling state. It is a convex shape with a rounded tip for ease of use.
このグリップ部４は、単純なコブのような凸状の形態であり、棒状やパイプ状ではないし、凸状の先端の丸みを持たせた部分はグリップする時には必ず手のひらで接触する部分である。
The grip portion 4 has a convex shape like a simple bump, is not rod-shaped or pipe-shaped, and the portion having a convex tip with a rounded tip is a portion that always comes into contact with the palm when gripping.
グリップ部４は、グリップするメインの部分である。
The grip portion 4 is a main portion for gripping.
これを使用するには図2左図に示すように、先ず手のひらを、上方向に位置するグリップ部４へ向けて、下方向から包み込む形でグリップすべく、例えば左へ曲がる時、左手はグリップ部４に添える程度でよく、主に力を使うのは右手７であり、手のひらで押し当てた凸状の丸みのある先端部分をひっかける形で、右図の矢印上方向へ押し上げながら乗員操作部材１を回し始める。
To use this, as shown in the left figure of Fig. 2, first turn the palm toward the grip part 4 located in the upward direction and wrap it from below to grip it. For example, when turning to the left, the left hand grips. It suffices to attach it to the part 4, and it is the right hand 7 that mainly uses the force. Start turning 1.
この様にグリップ部4は、リム部分をグリップしないで開いたままの手のひらを、凸状の先端の丸みの部分に引っ掛け上げるだけでも動かし始めることが可能なくらいの大きさの凸状である。
In this way, the grip portion 4 is convex enough to start moving by simply hooking the palm of the hand, which is left open without gripping the rim portion, onto the rounded portion of the convex tip.
であるから、グリップ部4は、2～3センチ程の小さいものなどではないし、１ｍもの大きさなどではないし、一般的なグリップの大きさと同じように手でグリップ出来る程度の大きさである。
Therefore, the grip portion 4 is not as small as 2 to 3 cm, not as large as 1 m, and is large enough to be gripped by hand in the same size as a general grip.
なお、右手７でより大きく回した時において、左手は必ずしもグリップしたままでいる必要はない。その分右手がしっかりグリップしたままなので、右手７で乗員操作部材１の回転を元に戻す時点で、左手は容易にグリップを再開できる。
It should be noted that the left hand does not necessarily have to remain gripped when the right hand 7 is turned more greatly. Since the right hand remains firmly gripped by that amount, the left hand can easily resume the grip when the rotation of the occupant operating member 1 is restored by the right hand 7.
ステアリングカバー１１で実施例１を実現したものの立体図を図４に、これのグリップ部付近の構造を切り取って、取り付けアタッチメントパーツ１２としたものの立体図（左）、および装着図（右）を図５に示した。
ステアリングカバー１１はリム５に強力に取り付けられるように適度の伸縮性を持っている。これをリム５に装着させることで、凸状のグリップ部４は乗員操作部材１（ステアリングホイール）として一体化して設置される事になる。
アタッチメントパーツ１２は、リム５と両面テープで接着した後、一緒に粘着テープ、ハーネステープなどで巻き付けて固定し、リム５とアタッチメントパーツ１２とを一体化させる事で、凸状のグリップ部４は乗員操作部材１（ステアリングホイール）として一体化して設置される事になる。
FIG. 4 shows a three-dimensional view of the steering cover 11 in which the first embodiment is realized, and a three-dimensional view (left) and a mounting view (right) of a mounting attachment part 12 obtained by cutting out the structure near the grip portion of the steering cover 11. Shown in 5.
The steering cover 11 has an appropriate elasticity so that it can be strongly attached to the rim 5. By attaching this to the rim 5, the convex grip portion 4 is integrally installed as the occupant operating member 1 (steering wheel).
The attachment part 12 is attached to the rim 5 with double-sided tape, and then wrapped together with an adhesive tape, harness tape, etc. to fix the attachment part 12, and the rim 5 and the attachment part 12 are integrated to form a convex grip portion 4. It will be installed integrally as the occupant operation member 1 (steering wheel).
実施例1の、リング状のリム5のうち、直進状態のときに下側となる約１／３の部分をカットし、 カットしてできる左右の下端部に球状のグリップ部１６を設けてなる乗員操作部１を、図6に示す。
グリップ部を球状とすることで実施例1と同様な凸状にしているが、棒状ではないしパイプ状でもない。
Of the ring-shaped rim 5 of the first embodiment, about one-third of the lower portion of the ring-shaped rim 5 is cut, and spherical grip portions 16 are provided at the left and right lower ends formed by cutting. The occupant operation unit 1 is shown in FIG.
By making the grip portion spherical, it has the same convex shape as in Example 1, but it is neither rod-shaped nor pipe-shaped.
実施例１のリム５を削除し、車両の直進状態で見たときにハブ中心を通る水平線３よりも下になるようにして、ハブ１３から径方向に延びるスポーク６の先端に球状のグリップ部１６が固定されている乗員操作部材１を、図７、図８、図9に示した。
すなわち、グリップ部１６は、スポーク６に固定接続させる事で乗員操作部材１として一体化されている。
グリップ部を球状とすることで実施例1と同じ凸状にしているが、棒状ではないしパイプ状でもない。
これらの実施例はステアリングの上の視界が広がるので、その部分に計器類やモニターディスプレイが良く見えるように配置する事も可能であろう。さすれば、計器類やモニターディスプレイは、運転アシスタントに大いに役立つ事が期待できる。
特にマップ表示はハブ中心を通る垂直線上に配置することを推奨する。
又、デザインがシンプルでスマートなので、電気自動車や自動運転自動車のステアリングに利用出来よう。
The rim 5 of the first embodiment is deleted so that the rim 5 is below the horizontal line 3 passing through the center of the hub when viewed in a straight-ahead state of the vehicle, and a spherical grip portion is provided at the tip of the spoke 6 extending radially from the hub 13. The occupant operating member 1 to which 16 is fixed is shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.
That is, the grip portion 16 is integrated as the occupant operating member 1 by being fixedly connected to the spokes 6.
By making the grip portion spherical, it has the same convex shape as in Example 1, but it is neither rod-shaped nor pipe-shaped.
Since these examples have a wider field of view above the steering, it may be possible to arrange the instruments and monitor display in that area so that they can be seen clearly. By the way, instruments and monitor displays can be expected to be very useful for driving assistants.
In particular, it is recommended to place the map display on a vertical line passing through the center of the hub.
Also, because the design is simple and smart, it can be used for steering electric vehicles and self-driving cars.
実施例４のハブ１３をアレンジしてハブ相当部１５としたところへディスプレイ１４を配置し全電子コントロール自動車用の乗員操作部材1とした例を図１０に示した。
FIG. 10 shows an example in which the display 14 is arranged in the place where the hub 13 of the fourth embodiment is arranged to be the hub corresponding portion 15 and is used as the occupant operation member 1 for an all-electronically controlled automobile.
グリップしたときに滑りにくくするために、凸状のグリップ部３の表面には、人間工学的見地からの造形を導入したり、指の接触する形に添って溝を設置したりしても良い。
In order to prevent slipping when gripped, the surface of the convex grip portion 3 may be shaped from an ergonomic point of view, or a groove may be provided along the shape of the finger contact. ..
本発明の形状はコンパクトなので、折り畳み式や収納可能な乗員操作部材にして、自動運転自動車などの、未来的電気自動車のステアリングとして利用することも期待できる。
Since the shape of the present invention is compact, it can be expected to be used as a steering of a futuristic electric vehicle such as an autonomous driving vehicle by making it a foldable or retractable occupant operation member.
実施例４、実施例5の乗員操作部材１の上の部分には視界を遮るリム部分はないので、ハブの位置がより上になるように乗員操作部１を配置し、前方視界のすぐ下にハブ部分が見えるようにすれば、ハブ部分に設置した計器類、スイッチ、モニターなどの運転中での視認が容易になるステアリングを構築できるであろう。
Since there is no rim portion that obstructs the view in the upper part of the occupant operation member 1 of Examples 4 and 5, the occupant operation unit 1 is arranged so that the position of the hub is higher, and just below the front view. If the hub part can be seen, it will be possible to construct a steering system that makes it easy to see the instruments, switches, monitors, etc. installed in the hub part while driving.
