Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of use] The present invention relates to a connector for connecting a control cable and a lever, and more particularly to a structure for holding a washer on a bush.

[Prior Art] An operation lever of an automatic transmission and a control cable will be described as an example.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 8, the connecting pin 103 is inserted from above the insertion hole 102 formed in the operating lever 101, and the control cable (not shown) is fixed from below the shaft 103a of the connecting pin 103. The rubber bush 105 with the rod 104 installed around
From below 05, insert a metal plate washer 106,
Finally, the locking pin 107 was attached to the shaft 103a to connect the operation lever 101 and the control cable.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the conventional connector has the washer 106 as described above.
If is located below the bush 105, the washer 106 tends to fall during assembly. Therefore, the washer 106
The washer 106 was poorly assembled, and in some cases, the washer 106 might drop and be lost, resulting in a missing item.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a connector for a control cable which is excellent in assembling a washer.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the connector for a control cable of the present invention employs the following technical means.

The connector for a control cable includes a lever having an insertion hole, a shaft inserted in the insertion hole, a connection pin having a head through which the insertion hole cannot pass, and a rubber bush inserted in the shaft. A rod to which a control cable fitted around the bush is fixed, a washer inserted into the shaft and sandwiching the bush together with the lever, and a washer attached to the shaft and inserted into the shaft. It consists of a locking pin that prevents it from coming off.

The bush is provided with two rubber protrusions at opposing positions on the periphery. Further, the washer includes opposing pieces that sandwich the bush, and each of the pieces includes a projection insertion hole that inserts the projection.

[Operation] The protrusion of the bush is elastically deformed, and the protrusion is inserted into the protrusion insertion hole of the washer piece. The washer is held by the bush by inserting the two protrusions of the bush into the two protrusion insertion holes of the washer.

[Advantage of the Invention] As described above, the present invention holds the washer by the bush when the washer is attached.
For this reason, the washer is prevented from falling, and the assembling property of the washer is improved.

[Embodiment] Next, a connector for a control cable of the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

(Structure of Embodiment) The connector shown in this embodiment is for connecting an operation lever of an automatic transmission and a control cable, and FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an essential part and FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the essential part. Indicates.

The connecting tool 1 connects the operating lever 2 and the rod 3 to which the control cable is fixed.
It comprises a bush 5, a washer 6, and a locking pin 7.

Next, the connecting pin 4, the bush 5, the washer 6, and the locking pin 7 will be sequentially described.

The connecting pin 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 8 formed in the operation lever 2,
It is inserted from above, and is composed of a portion of the shaft 9 that is inserted into the insertion hole 8 and a portion of the head portion 10 through which the insertion hole 8 cannot be inserted. In addition, a hole 11 through which the locking pin 7 is inserted is opened at the end of the shaft 9.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the bush 5 has a rubber tubular shape, and a tubular metal sleeve 12 is fixed to the inner circumference by baking. A groove 13 into which the rod 3 is fitted is formed in the central portion around the bush 5. Further, two protrusions 14 are formed at opposing positions around the end of the bush 5 on which the washer 6 is mounted. The two protrusions 14 are made of rubber integrally with the bush 5 and are elastically deformable.

The washer 6 sandwiches the bush 5 together with the operation lever 2. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a metal plate material is pressed into a U-shaped cross section. Opposing pieces 15 formed by press work sandwich the bush 5, and each piece 15 has a projection insertion hole 16 for inserting the projection 14 formed on the bush 5. Reference numeral 17 shown in the figure is a hole through which the shaft 9 is inserted.

The locking pin 7 is attached to the hole 11 formed in the shaft 9, and the washer 6 attached to the shaft 9 is
It is a daruma pin that prevents it from coming off.

Next, the assembling of the connecting tool 1 will be described.

The connecting pin 4 is inserted into the insertion hole 8 from above the insertion hole 8 of the operation lever 2.

On the other hand, the rod 3 is attached around the bush 5, and the washer 6 is attached to the bush 5. That is, the protrusion of the bush 5
14 is elastically deformed, and the projection insertion hole 16 of the piece 15 of the washer 6
To insert. As a result, the washer 6 is held by the bush 5. (The rod 3 may be attached to the bush 5 to which the washer 6 is attached.) Then, the bush 5 to which the rod 3 and the washer 6 are attached is attached around the shaft 9 from below the connecting pin 4. Finally, the locking pin 7 is inserted into the hole 11 of the shaft 9 to complete the assembly.

(Effects of Embodiment) As shown in this embodiment, the washer 6 is held by the bush 5 when the washer 6 is attached, so that the washer 6 is prevented from falling. As a result, the assemblability of the washer 6 is improved.

Further, even if each bush 5 is dropped, the washer 6 is held by the bush 5, so that the washer 6 is prevented from being lost due to the drop.

(Modification) In the above embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a portion where the operation lever 2 of the automatic transmission and the control cable are connected is shown. However, other levers such as a manual transmission and the control cable are connected. May be used for.
