[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the object is to connect a shaft 1 having a locking step 10 to the shaft 1.
A handle for operating the shaft, which is a handle for the operation of
In the shaft holding portion 3 having the clip holding groove 30, the handle body 2 for externally fitting the shaft 1 and a pair of elastic legs 41, 41 extending from the base 40 are fitted into the clip holding groove 30. The locking step 42 of the shaft 1 is locked by the locking portion 42 attached to the shaft body holding portion 3 and protruding inward of the shaft body holding portion 3 to prevent the handle body 2 from coming off from the shaft body 1. And a connection clip 4. The engagement portion 42 of the connection clip 4 is formed near the free end of the elastic leg 41, and the connection clip 4 is inserted into the clip holding groove 30 on the base 40 side. This is achieved by providing a shaft operating handle in which a shaft body insertion portion 43 that allows the insertion of the locking step portion 10 when the shaft body 1 is shifted along the shaft body 1 is formed.

The handle for operating the shaft is formed by attaching the connecting clip 4 to the handle body 2. Handle body 2
Is provided with a shaft body holding portion 3 for externally fitting the shaft body 1, and a pair of clip holding grooves 30 are formed in the shaft body holding portion 3.

The connecting clip 4 is formed by extending a pair of elastic legs 41, 41 from a base 40. A locking portion 42 is provided near the free end of the elastic leg 41, and a shaft body is inserted through the base 40. A part 43 is formed. The connecting clip 4 is made of an elastic leg 41.
Are fitted in the clip holding groove 30 and mounted on the handle main body 2, and are shifted along the clip holding groove 30, so that the locking portion 42 and the shaft body insertion portion 43 can correspond to the shaft body 1.

The distance between the elastic legs 41, 41 in the locking portion 42 is reduced, and at the connection position where the locking portion 42 is made to correspond to the shaft 1, as shown by a solid line in FIG. The locking portion 42 protrudes inward of the shaft holding portion 3 and
To the locking step 10. The locking portion 42 is formed, for example, by bending two elastic legs 41, 41, or by bending only one elastic leg 41 (not shown), as shown in FIG. Can be.

On the other hand, the shaft insertion portion 43 is formed at a position closer to the base 40 side than the locking portion 42, and shifts the connecting clip 4 to the free end side as shown by a chain line in FIG. Shaft 1 held by shaft holder 3 in the disconnected position
Corresponding to The shaft body insertion portion 43 is provided with the locking step portion 10 of the shaft body 1.
The shaft body insertion portion 43 is made to correspond to the shaft body 1 so that the locking of the shaft body 1 with the locking step portion 10 is released. Desorption from the shaft 1 is allowed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the elastic leg 41 abuts against the base side wall surface 30a of the clip holding groove 30 at the connection position, and the locking portion 42 engages with the small diameter portion 12 of the shaft body 1. Inadvertent detachment from the handle main body 2 due to pressure contact is prevented, and accidental movement to the uncoupling position is prevented by the engagement of the locking portion 42 with the free end side wall surface 30 b of the clip holding groove 30. .

As shown in FIG. 1A, when the connection clip 4 is elastically deformed at the connection release position,
It is sufficient that the shaft body insertion portion 43 has a width that evades the locking step portion 10 in a state where the shaft body insertion portion 43 is expanded by elastic deformation.

In the present invention, the handle main body 2 is connected to the shaft 1 with the above-described configuration. After the connecting clip 4 is set to the uncoupling position, the handle main body 2 is connected to the shaft 1.
Then, the connecting clip 4 is shifted along the clip holding groove 30 to the connecting position.

As shown in FIG. 1 (b), when attaching to the shaft body 1 having the tapered portion 13 at the top, the connecting clip 4 is set at the connecting position, and the handle body 2 is moved in this state. It is possible to cover the shaft body 1 and wear it.
In this case, when the handle body 2 is pressed along the shaft 1, the tapered portion 13 of the shaft 1 causes the elastic legs 41 of the connecting clip 4 to elastically deform outward so that the distance between the locking portions 42 is reduced. Then, the small-diameter portion 12 elastically returns to the original position, and the locking portion 42 is locked to the locking step portion 10. By locking the locking portion 42 to the locking step portion 10, the handle main body 2 is prevented from falling off and connected to the shaft body 1.

In order to release the connection of the handle main body 2 to the shaft 1, the base 40 is pressed to shift the connecting clip 4 to the free end side so that the shaft insertion portion 43 corresponds to the shaft 1. By pushing the base portion 40 toward the free end, the locking portion 42 abuts against the free end side wall surface 30b of the clip holding groove 30, and then the elastic leg 41 gets over the wall surface 30b while being elastically deformed. The wall 30b is held at the connection release position by holding the wall surface 30b by the elastic restoring force of the elastic leg 41.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is not necessary to pull out the connecting clip 4 from the handle main body 2 when removing the handle main body 2 from the shaft 1, so that the connecting clip 4 can be prevented from being lost, and further, the connection releasing operation can be performed. Since the operation is performed in the direction in which the connecting clip 4 is pushed in, the operation of hooking a tool on the connecting clip 4 becomes unnecessary, and workability is improved. When the handle main body 2 is detached, the connecting clip 4 moves to the free end side, and the base 40 is connected to the shaft holder 3 during an overstroke.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connecting clip 4 from being accidentally dropped even when it is used in a place where it cannot be seen.

When the elastic leg 41 is moved to the uncoupling position.
Is bent such that when the locking portion 42 abuts against the free end side wall surface 30b of the clip holding groove 30, the locking portion 42 obtains a component force in the bending direction from the free end side wall surface 30b. Although it is possible to provide an inclined surface on either the portion 42 or the free end side wall surface 30b, it is desirable to form the inclined portion 42a on the locking portion 42 side as described in claim 2. . That is, when the inclined surface is locked to the free end side wall surface 30b side, it is necessary to guide the moving path of the connecting clip 4 so that the locking portion 42 matches the inclined surface. When the inclined portion 42a is formed on the clip 4 side, since the inclined portion 42a can be formed in a relatively large area, the fluctuation of the moving path of the connecting clip 4 in the clip holding groove 30 is absorbed. be able to.

Therefore, in the present invention, when the connection clip 4 is moved from the connection position to the connection release position, the inclined portion 42a of the locking portion 42 abuts on the free end side wall surface 30b of the clip holding groove 30, and Upon receiving an inward component force from the end wall surface 30b, the elastic leg 41 bends inward, and the locking portion 42 gets over the free end wall surface 30b.

The connecting clip 4 can be formed of various materials. However, when the connecting wire 4 is formed by bending a wire having a spring property, it is inexpensive and the handle body 2 can be formed. Can be improved in withdrawal strength.

As described above, the connecting clip 4 in the connecting position is moved to an unintentional connection releasing position because the inclined portion 42a of the locking portion 42 abuts against the free end side wall surface 30b of the clip holding groove 30. In addition, by appropriately selecting the inclination angle of the inclined portion 42a, the force at the time of movement can be adjusted. However, as described in claim 4, the resistance portion 5 is attached to the handle main body 2. By forming, unintentional movement to the connection release position side can be reliably prevented, and the reliability of connection can be further improved.

That is, the resistance portion 5 interferes with the base portion 40 of the connection clip 4 to increase the resistance when the connection clip 4 moves from the connection position to the connection release position,
The connection clip 4 can be moved to the connection release position only when an operating force that overcomes the resistance is applied.

The handle for operating a shaft according to the present invention may be constituted as the above-described regulator handle of an automobile,
Alternatively, a serration formed on the side of the shaft body 1 when the shaft body 1 is a rotating shaft can be configured as an inside handle mounted on a slide door of an automobile as described in claim 5. By forming the serration groove 31 to be fitted into the processing portion 11 on the inner peripheral wall of the shaft body holding portion 3, idling between the handle body and the shaft body 1 is prevented.

Parts mounted on the panel of the vehicle, such as the inside handle or the regulator handle, are not running when the connecting clip 4 is dropped inside the panel because the panel is formed in a hollow bag shape. Of the connecting clip 4, for example, from a narrow gap between the panel and the handle body. However, by using the present invention, the handle body 2
It is possible to prevent the connection clip 4 from falling off during the detaching operation and to move the connection clip 4 to the connection release position by a pushing operation.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a connecting clip 4 which can be used when connecting various connecting members to the shaft body 1. That is, the connecting clip 4 is formed on the base 40 side by bending the elastic wire 41 having a circular cross section from the center and bending near the free ends of the pair of elastic legs 41, 41. , The locking step 10 of the shaft body 1
And a shaft body insertion portion 43 that can be inserted.

The connecting clip 4 is attached to the handle main body 2.
The engaging member 42 is fitted and fitted into a pair of clip holding grooves 30 formed in the shaft holding portion 3 of the connecting member, and the engaging portion 42 protrudes from the clip holding groove 30 to the inside of the shaft holding portion 3. The locking step 10 of the shaft body 1 inserted into the body holding portion 3 is locked to prevent the connecting member from coming off from the shaft body 1, and the base portion 40 corresponds to the shaft body insertion portion 43. By pushing the connecting member to the position to be disengaged, detachment of the connecting member from the shaft body 1 is allowed.
