Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To increase the rigidity of the side brake lever in the vehicle width direction so that the side brake lever can be operated reliably. A bracket 12 having a U-shaped cross section is fixed across a side wall 13 of a backbone 10 and an inner side wall 14 of a recess 11 of a vehicle, and is supported by the bracket 12 and extends in the vehicle width direction. A side brake lever 18 is pivotally supported at 20.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle side brake, and more particularly to a side brake lever mounting device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIG. 3, a side brake in a conventional vehicle has a bracket 3 vertically fixed to a top surface of a backbone 1 formed in a front-rear direction on a floor in a vehicle compartment by a bolt 2 and a bracket 3 thereof. The side brake lever 4 is pivoted so as to straddle the vehicle, but since the bracket 3 is vertically fixed on the horizontal plane, the rigidity of the side brake lever 4 pivotally supported by the bracket 3 in the vehicle width direction is low. Therefore, the operability of the side brake lever 4 is not always good.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 It is an object of the present invention to increase the rigidity of a side brake lever in a vehicle in the vehicle width direction with a simple structure so that a reliable operation of the side brake lever can be facilitated.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 For this reason, the brake attachment device according to the present invention has a bracket having a substantially U-shaped cross section that is fixed over at least a part of a back bone that extends in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and is supported by the side wall of the bracket so that it is substantially It has a support shaft extending in the width direction and a side brake lever pivotally supported on the support shaft.

[0005]

[Action]

 That is, since the bracket fixed across at least a part of the backbone has a substantially U-shaped cross section with both side walls spaced apart in the vehicle width direction, this bracket has a rigidity in the vehicle width direction. Since it is large, the side brake lever pivotally supported by the support shaft supported by the side wall of the bracket can easily increase the rigidity in the vehicle width direction.

[0006]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described. In FIGS. 1 and 2, a recess 11 is formed on the upper surface of a backbone 10 extending in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a bracket 12 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is provided between a side wall 13 of the backbone 10 and an inner side wall 14 of the recess 11. Both side walls 15 of the bracket 12 are welded or screwed to the side wall 13 and the inner side wall 14, respectively, and the pipe 16 penetrates the both side walls 15 substantially in the vehicle width direction. Is welded to.

On the other hand, bushes 19 are fitted from both sides into through holes of a ratchet plate 17 having a substantially L-shaped cross section bolted to the bottom of the recess 11 and a side brake lever 18 covered with the ratchet plate 17, and the pipe 16 and the bush A bolt 20 is inserted through a central hole 19 and is fixed by a nut 21. The brake actuating cable and the like connected to the side brake lever 18 are not shown.

As described above, since the both side walls 15 of the bracket 12 formed at intervals in the vehicle width direction are fixed to the backbone side wall 13 and the recess inner side wall 14, respectively, the bracket 12 with respect to the vehicle width direction. Since the side brake lever 18 has a large strength and is pivotally supported by the bolt 20 supported by the bracket 12 via the pipe 16, the rigidity in the vehicle width direction is significantly enhanced as compared with the conventional device. The operability of the side brake lever 18 is improved, and it becomes always easy to surely apply the side brake by the side brake lever 18.

In the above embodiment, the bracket for supporting the side brake lever is fixed across the side wall of the backbone and the inner side wall of the recess on the upper surface of the backbone, but when the lateral width of the backbone is narrow, etc. Can be configured such that the bracket is fixed across both side walls of the backbone. In addition, cut a screw on the inner surface of the pipe supported on both side walls of the bracket, and screw a bolt pivotally supporting the side brake lever into it so that the tip of the bolt does not protrude to the side of the backbone, It is also possible to prevent the danger of.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 In the brake attachment device according to the present invention, since the bracket having a substantially U-shaped cross section is fixed over at least a part of the backbone, the side brake lever pivotally supported by the support shaft supported by the bracket. Since the rigidity in the vehicle width direction is easily increased and the operability of the side brake lever is improved, it becomes easier to reliably apply the side brake, and the vehicle safety can be improved. .
