Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <<Industrial Application Field>> This invention relates to an improvement of a reclining lever knob for a vehicle seat.

《Summary of the idea》 A stop wall that connects the horizontal wall and the vertical wall is integrated at the tip of the letter-shaped knob. The stop wall prevents the seat belt from getting caught on the knob, and also prevents the operator's fingers from being caught between the tip of the knob and the recess provided on the seat side.

<<Prior Art>> FIG. 4 shows a mounting structure of a conventional reclining device provided with a knob on a vehicle seat.

In the figure, on the side of the seat cushion 1,
A recess 2 is cut out. A reclining device 3 is fixed to the rear part of the seat cushion 1. A reclining lever 4 projects from the tip of the device 3, and a knob 5 is integrally provided at the tip of the lever 4. The knob 5 is fitted into the recess 2 in the normal non-operating state. During operation, the knob 5 can be operated by placing a finger on it.

The reason for this structure is that lever 4 and knob 5
This is to prevent the parts from getting tangled with the seat belt (not shown), and allows for good assembly of parts inside the vehicle interior, resulting in a compact appearance.

<<Problems to be solved by the invention>> Even with the above structure, the problem of seat belt entanglement remains. As is well known, since the seat belt is stretched diagonally upward from the rear of the seat cushion, it is likely to get caught at the tip of the knob 5 or be caught between the knob 5 and the recess. Furthermore, when operating the knob 5, there was a problem in that the fingers were likely to be caught between the tip and side of the knob 5 and the recess. Considering the spring force of the reclining device and the softness of the cushion, even if a finger were caught, there was no danger, but it was a nuisance.

《Means for solving the problem》 This invention was made to solve the above problem, and its gist is to change the structure of the reclining lever knob to a vertical wall fixed to the tip of the lever. , is characterized by consisting of a horizontal wall that is integrated laterally at the top of the vertical wall, and a stop wall that is located at the tip of the knob and is integrated and connects the walls.

<<Example>> Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a reclining lever knob according to this invention, and Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the attachment relationship between the reclining lever knob and the lever.

The knob 10 in the figure is an injection molded body made of relatively soft vinyl chloride, ABS resin, etc., and has a vertical wall 12 attached to the tip of the lever 16, and a vertical wall 12 at the top of the vertical wall 12, which is shaped like a letter toward the side. It consists of a horizontal wall 14 that projects integrally with the knob 10, and a triangular stop wall 15 that is located at the tip of the knob 10 and is integrated by connecting the walls 12 and 14.

The structure for attaching the knob 10 to the lever 16 is such that a recess 12a having the same thickness and outer shape as the lever 16 is formed on the back surface of the vertical wall 12, and a pair of positioning protrusions 20 are provided protrudingly within the recess 12a. A screw insertion hole 22 is formed in advance. On the other hand, a pair of positioning holes 161 that fit into the projections 20 are formed at the tip of the lever 16, and a screw hole 162 is formed in the center of each positioning hole 161. And lever 16
By fitting the recess 12a into the tip of the protrusion 20, each protrusion 20 fits into the hole 161, and in this state, the knob 10 can be fixed to the lever 16 by screwing the screw B from the surface side of the vertical wall 12.

When operating the knob 10, the finger is inserted into the lower surface of the horizontal wall 14 as shown in FIG. so that your finger is in the recess 2 (4th
(see figure) and the tip of the knob 10 can be prevented.

Further, since the stop wall 15 eliminates the seatbelt from getting caught, it is also possible to prevent the seatbelt from becoming entangled with the knob 10.

<<Effects>> As explained above, with this invention, fingers will not be caught when operating the knob, and entanglement of the seat belt can be completely prevented.
