Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce an occupied space for arrangement and to reduce cost without damaging attractiveness by fixing a flat casing to be back of a pedal mainbody by means of hooks, a lever and a part of the pedal mainbody. CONSTITUTION:A flange part 8 is formed on the periphery of the back of the pedal mainbody 6 and a pair of confronting hooks 9a and 9b are provided near the flange part 8 on one side. Then, the lever 10 is arranged at the back of the pedal mainbody 6 along the arrangement direction of the hooks 9a and 9b in a longitudinal direction and the bent terminal of the lever 10 is freely rotatably supported to a fitting part 11 which is integrally formed on the lower hook 9b. The flat and metallic measure 14 is fitted to a part surrounded by the hooks 9a and 9b, the flange part 8 of the pedal mainbody 6 and the lever 10. Thus, an appearance quality can be improved, the space of the rear part of the pedal mainbody can be small and cost can be reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mass fixing structure for pedals such as an accelerator pedal of an automobile.

Prior Art For example, as shown in Fig. 5.6, the accelerator pedal of an automobile has two parts (2) of a lever 2 on which a pedal body I is supported.
Alternatively, there is one in which a cylindrical mass 3 is fixed at the bottom).

The approximate center of the lever 2 is supported by the vehicle body S by a bracket 4, and by depressing the pedal body ■, the operating cable 5 is pulled, but due to the engine vibration transmitted from the vehicle body S and the operating cable 5. Lever 2
The mass 3 functions as a damper to prevent vibration. This structure is from TOYOTA MARKn new model car manual 5-7 published by Toyota Motor Corporation in August 1982.
Shown on page 1.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the bipedal square 3 is fixed to the lever 2 by welding, there are problems in that the cost is high and the appearance is spoiled.

On the other hand, if you take the above square 3 on the back side of the pedal body I, it will not spoil the appearance (for example, the 6th square
1), it is necessary to secure space on the back side of the pedal body 1, resulting in a problem that the engine room becomes narrow.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a mass fixing structure for pedals that does not impair the appearance, occupies less space for arrangement, and can reduce costs.

Means for Solving the Problem A pair of opposing staggered hooks are arranged on the back of the pedal body, and a part of the lever supported by the pedal body is arranged along each hook on the back of the pedal body, and the hooks and the lever are connected to each other. A plate-shaped mass is fixed to a part of the pedal body.

The mass is covered by the action pedal body, and the mass is held and fixed by the hook, the lever, and a part of the pedal body, and the plate-shaped mass reduces the installation space on the back surface of the pedal body.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the pedal body 6 of the accelerator pedal
is a substantially rectangular shape made of resin or the like, and has a non-slip uneven portion 7 formed on its surface side.

A flange portion 8 is formed around the back surface of the pedal body 6, and a pair of opposing hooks 9a and 9b are provided near the flange portion 8 on the minus side.

The hooks 9a and 9b are used to hold a mass I4, which will be described later, between the hooks 9a and 9b and the back surface of the pedal body 6, as shown in FIG.

Further, on the back surface of the pedal body 6, a lever IO is arranged in the longitudinal direction of the pedal body 6 along the arrangement direction of the hooks 9a and 9b, and the bent end of the lever 10 is integrated with the lower hook 9b. It is rotatably supported by a molded attachment part 11.

A presser part 12 of the lever 10 is formed on the pedal body 6 on the side of the upper hook 9a, and this presser part 12
A cap 13 is attached to the lever 10 to hold the lever 10.

A plate-shaped metal mass 14 is attached to a portion surrounded by the hooks 9a, 9b, the flange portion 8 of the pedal body 6, and the lever 10.

Here, the mass 14 is held with its lower corner closer to the lever 10 in contact with the bent portion of the lever IO.

In addition, in Figure 2.4, the square 14 is drawn with hatching for convenience of illustration.

Next, the procedure for attaching the mass I4 will be explained. First, the mass 14 is inserted between the hooks 9a and 9b until it contacts the flange portion 8. Then, the end of the lever 10 is inserted into the attachment part 11 integrally formed with the hook 9b and fitted into the presser part I2, and the cap 13 is locked to the presser part 12 to perform attachment.

Therefore, since the mass I4 is not visible from the outside by the pedal body 6, the appearance is not spoiled, and the mass 14
Since it is plate-shaped and is compactly stored on the back side of the pedal body 6, there is no need to secure space on the back side of the pedal body 6, and the engine room space can be secured accordingly.

In addition, since the mass I4 is held by the hooks 9a, 9b provided on the pedal body 6, the flange portion 8, and the lever IO,
The cost can be reduced compared to the case where the mass 14 is fixed by welding.

Since the two-legged hook 9b is integrally provided with the attachment part 11 that receives the end of the lever 10, the rigidity of the hook 9b is increased, and the reliability of holding the mass I4 in the downward direction is increased.

Further, the mass 14 is arranged in the bending direction of the lever 10,
Since it is in contact with the bent part of the lever 10, the mass 14 is pressed diagonally (J), and therefore the mass 14 is securely held in the horizontal, vertical, and horizontal directions, causing the mass 14 to wobble and generate abnormal noise. can be prevented.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be applied to pedals other than the accelerator pedal, for example.

Alternatively, the end of the hook opposite to the lever may be bent, and the lateral movement of the mass may be restricted by this bent portion.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the plate-shaped mass is fixed to the back side of the pedal body using the hook, the lever, and a part of the pedal body, so that the mass is not attached to the outside. to 11 (=t <<), which has the effect of improving the appearance quality.In addition, the space behind the pedal body is small, and the engine room space can therefore be expanded. It has the effect of being able to

Since the mass is fixed by the pedal body and the lever, there is an effect that costs can be reduced compared to the case where the mass is attached by welding.
