Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a push-button electronic lock switch for automobiles.

2. Description of the Related Art Electronic locks for automobiles have recently been developed that can unlock a door when a plurality of pushbutton switches are pressed in a predetermined order.

These push-button electronic locks are (1) easy to install in a car, (2) easy to see, (3) easy to operate the push-button switch, and (4) easy to access the outdoor handle from the push-button switch. It is desirable that the installation conditions such as ease of movement be met.

Currently, push-button switches are fixed to the horizontal surface of the door panel adjacent to the lower part of the window frame of large vehicles, but when they are fixed, a nut must be supported on the back side of this horizontal surface.

However, since the nut had to be supported by a worker reaching out through a hole in the inner door panel that was far from the supporting position, it was difficult to install the nut, making it unsuitable for mass production.

Furthermore, especially in the case of small cars, the width of the horizontal surface of the door panel to which the door trim is fixed is made small, making it impossible to secure a sufficient area for mounting the push button switch there.

Therefore, in this invention, an electronic lock switch is fixed to the outer end of a bracket having an inner end fixed to the outdoor handle escutcheon or door panel, and this switch is exposed to the outside through a recess formed in the outside handle. This eliminates the above drawbacks.

Hereinafter, the embodiment shown in the drawings will be described. As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, the mounting structure of the push-button electronic lock switch for automobiles is such that a recess 11 is formed in the outside handle 10 of the automobile, and a recess 11 is formed in the door panel 12. The inner end of the bracket 13 is fixed, and an electronic lock switch S is fixed to the outer end of the bracket 13, and the switch S is exposed to the outside from the recess 11 of the handle.

Handle 10 is rotatably mounted to door panel 12 by shaft 14 in conventional manner.

The bracket 13 is fixed to the door panel 12 by a fixing member 15 such as a bolt donut.

The mounting position of the fixing member 15 is in front of a working hole formed in an inner panel (not shown), and the mounting work is easy.

As shown in FIG. 3, the bracket 13 can also be fixed to the handle escutcheon 20.

In this case, the bracket 13 is the handle escutcheon 2.
It may be formed integrally with 0.

As mentioned above, this invention has a structure in which an electronic lock switch is fixed to the outer end of a bracket having an inner end fixed to the handle escutcheon or door panel ζζ, and this switch is exposed to the outside through a recess formed in the outside handle. This feature makes it extremely easy to install the switch, and the distance the hand has to move from the switch to the outside handle is short, making door opening operations smoother.
