Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Use) The present invention relates to a shift lever knob attached to the upper end of a shift lever for a manual mission of an automobile or the like.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, a shift lever knob for a manual mission is
For example, as shown in FIG. 7, in order to enhance the design and improve the design, the surface of the core material 2 having the shift lever mounting hole 1a and the screw hole 1b which is mounted on the upper end of the shift lever is provided with a plurality of leathers 3a, 3b. , 3c, each leather 3a, 3b, 3c
The technique of forming the line groove 4 between them is used.

In order to form the groove 4 of the shift lever knob, the groove 4 is formed when the core material 2 is molded by injection molding of synthetic resin.
The recessed groove 5 is formed in advance corresponding to the position of
A method is used in which the ends of the leathers 3a, 3b, 3c are pushed into the groove 5 by a pushing jig and adhered.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional shift lever knob for a manual transmission as described above, a concave groove 5 formed at a right angle to the surface is formed in the core 2 due to the die cutting of the core 2. Since it is not possible to form the concave groove 5 that expands and slopes in the surface direction, and there is a gap for inserting a pushing jig for pushing the ends of the leathers 3a, 3b, 3c into the concave groove 5, the central position is required. There is an extreme step at the groove 4 between the leather 3a and the leathers 3b, 3c located on the sides, and the groove 4 cannot be formed in a tightly joined manner without a gap, which impairs the appearance. . Furthermore, since the force of sandwiching the ends of the leather 3a, 3b, 3c is weak, the heat shrinkage causes the leather 3a, 3b, 3c,
When 3c contracts, there is a problem that the terminals of the leathers 3a, 3b, 3c gradually rise, and in the worst case, they peel off.

In a shift lever knob for an automatic transmission, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-179033, the shift lever knob is divided into two parts from the center to the left and right, and the surface of each divided body is covered. There is a proposal to wrap the leather end inside the joint of both split bodies and to fix the two split bodies with an adhesive. However, applying this two-division structure to a shift lever knob for manual transmission is a manual operation. It is difficult to use a shift lever knob for missions because it has a screw hole for mounting the shift lever in the center, and it usually takes several hours to fix both split bodies with an adhesive, and due to the repulsive force of the leather, etc. Since the divided bodies are easily opened to each other, a jig for aligning and fixing the divided bodies is required.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and in a shift lever knob for a manual transmission, a central body having a screw hole for mounting the shift lever and a pair of side surfaces joined and attached to both sides of the central body. By dividing the body into three parts, the groove formed between the leather that covers the surface of the central body and each side body is formed without gaps, and the terminal of each leather is prevented from rising or peeling, Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to improve the workability by enabling the central body and both side faces to be aligned and fixed without using a jig or the like.
