Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] Even if the change lever of the transmission bends in the middle, the cover can easily follow the displacement. A bellows-shaped upper half portion 4, a bellows-shaped lower half portion 5 having a small pitch, and a cylindrical portion 6 of a cover 3 made of a rubber-like elastic body are integrally molded, and a bellows of the cover 3 is used for shifting and selecting the change lever 1. When the change lever 1 bends in the intermediate portion 2 when the lower half portion 5 is deformed following it, the cover 3
The bellows-shaped upper half portion 4 of the following deforms.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a cover of a change lever for performing shift and select operations on a vehicle transmission or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In a change lever that performs shift and select operations for a vehicle transmission, a rubber-like elastic cover that is conventionally used has a substantially conical shape and the entire slope has a bellows shape with substantially the same pitch. In the case of a change lever that can be bent in the middle so that it is convenient for occupant movement between vehicle seats, the upper half of the change lever has a large bending angle and the cover cannot follow the change of the change lever. However, there was no choice but to attach a cover only to the lower half of the change lever, and there was a problem with the upper half of the change lever being dirty or the appearance of the vehicle interior.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention is intended to provide a cover that can follow the displacement of the change lever with respect to the change lever that can be bent in the middle portion.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the change lever cover according to the present invention has an upper half portion and a lower half portion each made of a rubber-like elastic body having a substantially conical shape and a bellows-like slope, and the upper half portion has a bellows pitch. The pitch is smaller than the bellows pitch of the lower half.

[0005]

[Action]

 That is, in a change lever whose middle portion can bend, the cover follows the displacement of the change lever due to the deformation of the bellows-shaped lower half of the cover during normal shift and select operations. When the middle part bends, the bellows-shaped upper half with a small pitch of the cover can be largely deformed, so that the cover can sufficiently follow the large displacement stroke of the upper half of the change lever. it can.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be specifically described. A change lever 1 for performing shift and select operations for a vehicle transmission is configured to be bendable at an intermediate portion 2 for convenient movement of passengers between vehicle seats sandwiching the change lever 1. The cover 3 has an upper half portion 4 and a lower half portion 5 each made of a rubber-like elastic body having a substantially conical shape and a bellows-like slope, and the bellows pitch of the upper half portion 4 has a lower half portion 5. Since the pitch is smaller than the bellows pitch, the upper half portion 4 can easily be largely deformed.

Further, the cylindrical portion 6 connecting the upper half portion 4 and the lower half portion 5 is elastically fitted to the outer periphery of the dust plate 7 to perform a sealing action, and the upper end portion of the upper half portion 4 is checked. A cover 3 attached to the upper portion of the change lever 1 and integrally forming an upper half portion 4, a lower half portion 5 and a cylindrical portion 6 covers most of the change lever 1. For normal shift and select operations of the change lever 1, the cover 3 can follow the displacement of the change lever 1 due to the deformation of the bellows-shaped lower half 5, while the two-dot chain line in FIG. As shown, when the change lever 1 is bent at the intermediate portion 2, the flexible bellows-shaped upper half portion 4 of the cover 3 is deformed and can easily follow a large displacement of the change lever 1. it can.

As described above, the cover 3 covers most of the change lever 1 to prevent the change lever 1 from getting dirty, and to adjust the appearance of the vehicle interior. At the same time, the upper half 4 and the lower half of the cover 3 are covered. The parts 5 can be deformed in response to the bending and the normal operation at the intermediate part 2 of the change lever 1, respectively, and the cover 3 is integrally molded, so that the cover 3 can be manufactured at low cost. Have Also, the upper half 4 and the lower half 5 may have different shapes such that the upper half 4 of the cover 3 has a substantially circular cross section and the lower half 5 has a substantially rectangular cross section. Thus, the appearance of the cover 3 can be improved.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 In the cover for the change lever according to the present invention, the bellows-shaped lower half portion is deformed when the change lever is shifted and selected, and the bellows-shaped upper half portion is deformed when the change lever is bent in the middle portion. Since it can be greatly deformed, the change lever can be prevented from getting dirty and the appearance inside the vehicle can be adjusted by covering the change lever by integrally molding the whole, and the manufacturing cost of the cover can be easily reduced. It can be done, and the practical benefit is great.
