[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a structure of a fixture for temporarily fixing a brake pedal of an automobile to be used for electrical inspection of a brake light circuit of the automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A conventional method of electrically inspecting a brake light circuit of an automobile will be described with reference to FIG. 4, which is a side view showing a part of a driver's seat of an automobile. Reference numeral 10 denotes a steering wheel that is fixedly projected from the toe board 11 into the driver's seat, 12 is a brake pedal that is rotatably fixed to the lower surface of the dash board, and 13 is a brake pedal 12 that is disposed near the lower portion of the fixed portion. Shows the brake light switch that controls the blinking of the brake light by the movement of the vehicle.The combination on the left and right of the rear part of the preceding vehicle allows the following vehicle to check the braking state of the preceding vehicle when the brake pedal is operated. For safety reasons, it is necessary to check the lighting of the brake lights 15 that are built into the lamp or that are placed independently on the left and right sides. And workers to take the Rekipedaru, are carried out in collaboration with two people with other workers to verify the point lights of the vehicle body rear left and right brake light 15.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if measures such as employment are taken, repair and inspection costs are now fixed, personnel costs will be high and profitability will be difficult, and in addition, there will be noise at work sites. Occasionally, the confirmation by human voice could not be heard, and the worker was tired. Moreover, if another worker was temporarily diverted for confirmation, that worker would have to interrupt his own work. However, there is a drawback in that the workability is reduced and the workability is reduced accordingly. The present invention is intended to solve the drawbacks of deficiency, and the purpose thereof is to improve the work efficiency even if one worker inspects the blinking of the brake lights. Especially.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problem]

 According to the present invention, one rod-shaped body 2 having a contact portion 1 at the upper end, the other rod-shaped body 4 having a contact portion 3 at the lower end, and the length of each rod-shaped body between the two rod-shaped bodies 2 and 4 are provided. It is characterized in that it is composed of a central indirect plug 5 which can be pivotally fixed at an arbitrary position.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a side view showing a first embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a contact portion formed in a U-shape on the side of a steering wheel so as to maintain a stable contact, and 2 is the contact portion 1. The rod-shaped body 3 made of, for example, a hollow aluminum pipe fixed to the lower surface of the contact member 3 is a curved side surface so that the rubber pad of the brake pedal 3 (see FIG. 4) can be stably contacted. A rod-shaped body made of, for example, a hollow aluminum pipe is fixed to the upper surface of the portion 3, and has an inner diameter into which the rod-shaped body 2 can be inserted, and a screw is engraved on the upper end thereof as described later. Reference numeral 5 designates a cylindrical indirect plug, and as shown in the enlarged side view of the main part in FIG. ing . Reference numeral 8 is a hollow fastener made of synthetic resin or the like in the shape of a cylinder, and a flange 9 having a diameter larger than that of the cylinder is provided at the upper end of the fastener 8, and as shown in the figures, the inside of the rod-shaped body 4 is shown. Is inserted into the upper end of the rod-shaped body, and the rod-shaped body 2 has an inner diameter through which the upper rod-shaped body 2 is inserted. Next, the same parts as those in the above-described first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 3. Reference numeral 1 indicates a contact portion bent in an L-shaped plate-like shape. In addition, the recesses b to be engaged with the steering wheel are formed on the upper surface and the left and right sides, and 2 is a rod-shaped body made of, for example, hollow or solid aluminum or iron, and the contact portion 1 faces upward at the upper end. An upper rod-shaped body 4 fixed to the lower surface and having a lower end thereof engraved with a male screw 6 to be screwed into an indirect plug, which will be described later, is a lower rod-shaped body, and a lower end thereof has an L-shape facing downward. The upper surface of the contact portion 3 is fixed, and the upper end of the contact portion 3 is engraved with a male screw 6 which is screwed under the central joint plug. Reference numeral 5 is a middle rectangular indirect plug, which is generally called a turnbuckle, and has a rectangular shape, and female screws to be screwed into the male screws 6 and 6 of the rod-shaped members 2 and 4 are engraved on the upper and lower parts of the center. As shown in FIG. 3, the upper and lower rod-shaped bodies 2 and 4 are screwed together to be assembled.

[Effect of the device]

 The present invention is composed of a hollow structure. Next, the operation and effects will be described in detail together with the embodiment. First, in the first embodiment, the vehicle type to be inspected is a light vehicle, a small vehicle, a large vehicle, and each vehicle type. Since there is no great difference in the distance D (see Fig. 4) between the lower end of the steering wheel and the upper surface of the brake pedal, the fixing fixture of the present invention is extended to an appropriate length, and the contact portion 1 is attached to the lower end of the steering wheel 10. Apply the brake pedal and step on it so that the brake pedal is applied, and then the contact portion 3 comes into contact with the upper surface of the pedal. That is, the brake pedal 12 in the braking state is entrained by the lower end of the steering wheel 10, and the middle joint plug 5 may be rotated by this length. The female screw 7 formed on the inner diameter and the male screw 6 carved at the upper end of the rod-shaped body 4 are screwed into each other and gradually descend downward. The collar portion 9 of the fastener 8 made of a synthetic resin or the like fitted between the outer peripheral wall of the rod-shaped body 2 and the inner top surface t of the indirect plug and the top portion of the rod-shaped body 4 is compressed. Therefore, the escape area is lost and the outer peripheral wall of the upper rod-shaped body 2 is tightened, and thus the brake pedal 12 is restrained in the braking position. After this state, the worker should turn around the rear of the vehicle body and check that the left and right brake lights 15, 15 are on. If the brake light 15 does not light up, measure the continuity of the brake light. If there is no continuity, replace the brake light with a new one. If there is continuity, check the battery voltage from the brake switch 13. When the battery voltage is applied, check the contact state between the socket and the brake light, and if there is no abnormality, check the opening / closing operation of the brake switch. After that, it is good to remove the fixing device of the present invention. Next, the second embodiment will be described. As in the first embodiment described above, the recess b on the left side or the upper surface of the rod state 1 is applied to the lower end of the steering wheel 10, and the first embodiment described above is described. Similarly, the fixing device of the present invention may be attached to the brake pedal 12, and then the intermediate connector 5 may be rotated, and the same effect as that described in the first embodiment may be obtained. However, this embodiment is a simplification and low cost of the first embodiment, and when performing other inspection and repair while keeping the door and bonnet open in addition to the inspection of the brake lights. It can also be expected to have an incidental effect that can be used for. According to the present invention, as described above, since one worker can perform inspection and repair, labor cost can be saved, work efficiency can be improved, and even with a simple structure, it is an excellent target that can achieve the initial purpose of the plan sufficiently. You can expect the effect.
