Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a power window switch for an automobile.

(Prior Art) In recent years, so-called power windows, in which a window glass provided on an automobile door is raised and lowered electrically, have come into widespread use. However, in this power window, the switch member that controls the drive of the operating member that raises and lowers the window glass is a one-touch seesaw type switch (1989-
24925 (see Publication No. 24925), there is a risk of malfunction if the installation location is incorrectly selected. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, it is known that switch members 3', 3', etc. are disposed on the upper surface of an armrest 2' provided on the inner surface of a door 1'.
In this case, although it is easy to operate the switch members 3', 3', etc., since they are easily touched by the body, malfunctions are likely to occur, and as a result, the part of the body between the window glass and the window frame There was an incident where I got caught in the middle of the room. Reference numeral 4' indicates an assist grip.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and aims to prevent erroneous operation of the power window switch due to physical contact and the danger caused by it.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, is a door that is provided on the inner surface of the door, bulges toward the inside of the vehicle interior, and is recessed toward the outside of the vehicle interior. A grip for operating the door is formed on one side of a frame-shaped assist grip having an opening, and a vertical wall surface or upper wall surface formed on the inner peripheral side of the assist grip is provided with a grip portion for freely raising and lowering a window glass provided on the door. A switch member is provided to electrically control the driving of the operating member.

(Function) In the present invention, by the above-mentioned means, the frame-shaped assist grip including the grip part has its cabin side opening restricted, so the frame-shaped part including the grip part obstructs the vertical wall surface of the inner periphery of the assist grip. Alternatively, it is possible to prevent an erroneous operation caused by a part of the driver's body unconsciously coming into contact with the switch member provided on the upper wall surface.

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the door 1
An assist grip 4 having an independent shape is provided on the front side of the armrest 2 on the inner surface thereof.

The assist grip 4 is, as shown in FIG.
Upper side 4a, lower side 4b, and front side 4 that bulge toward the inside of the vehicle interior
c and a rear side 4d, and has a frame top having an opening 6 recessed toward the outside of the vehicle interior,
The rear side 4d is formed in a shape in which the inner surface of the door is hollowed out, and serves as a grip portion 10 for operating the door.

On the other hand, the window glass 5 provided in the door 1
is constructed so that it can be moved up and down by an operating member (namely, a motor), not shown, built into the door 1. The interlocking mechanism between this operating member and the window glass 5 is not shown because it is well known as a power window device.

The operation member is driven by a known switch member 3.
(for example, a seesaw type switch).

In this embodiment, the switch member 3 is disposed on a vertical wall surface 7 on the inner surface of the front side 4c, which constitutes a part of the inner circumferential wall of the assist grip 4. Since this vertical wall surface 7 is a place that is difficult for the body to touch when not consciously pointing at it (that is, unconsciously), the switch member 3 disposed on the vertical wall surface 7
erroneous operation is prevented.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the gripping portion 10 of the assist grip 4 faces the vertical wall surface 7 (i.e., the switch member 3), and even when gripping the gripping portion 10, it is possible to accidentally contact the switch member 3. will disappear.

Furthermore, the assist grip 4 including the grip portion 10 has a frame shape, and by forming it in a frame shape,
As a result of limiting the opening area of the opening 6, a part of the driver's body, such as an elbow, is prevented from unconsciously entering the assist grip 4, and there is no fear of contact with the switch member 3. ing.

Note that the switch member 3 is attached to the upper wall surface 8 of the inner surface of the upper side 4a that constitutes a part of the inner circumferential wall of the assist grip 4.
Even if the vertical wall surface 7 is provided, the same effect as in the case of the vertical wall surface 7 can be expected.

In the drawing, numeral 11 is an inner knob for opening and closing the door;
12 is a door lock lever, and 13 is a pocket.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the assist grip is provided on the inner surface of the door and bulges toward the inside of the vehicle interior, and includes a grip portion formed on one side of the assist grip and extends toward the outside of the vehicle interior. It is formed into a frame shape with a recessed opening, so that the opening area of the opening on the passenger compartment side is limited, and furthermore, on the inner side, a window glass is installed on the vertical wall surface or the upper wall surface. Since a switch member is provided to control the drive of the operating member that raises and lowers the vehicle, the frame-shaped portion including the grip part may get in the way and a part of the driver's body or the like may unintentionally touch the switch member. This has the practical effect of reliably preventing erroneous operation of the switch member and significantly improving safety.
