Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the capacity of steering by fitting an instrument part equipped with steering devices on the upper part of a stand part fast fixed on a hull to be rotatable toward the front and the rear and providing an angle adjustment means for the instrument part between both parts. CONSTITUTION:A steering box 10 is divided into a stand part 11 fast fixed on a hull 2 and an instrument part 12. The instrument part 12 is fitted to the outside of the upper part of the stand part 11, and fixed at the upper front side of the stand part 11 by a pin 13 to be rotatable forward and backward. Between both parts 11 and 12, an angle adjustment means 15 for the instrument part 12 is furnished. This angle adjustment means 15 is composed of a rod 16 fixed to ride on both rear side walls of the instrument part 12, and rod-catching parts 17 and 18 shaped into multiple stages on the upper edge part on both sides of the stand part 11. This construction permits to adjust the angle and the height of a steering wheel 3 properly in accordance with the sitting or standing position of a steersman.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a steering box for a marine vessel such as a motor boat.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a conventional steering box for ships. A steering box 1 is fixed on a hull 2, and a steering wheel 3 is attached to the upper side of the box 1 via a mounting member 4. It is. The steering shaft 5 extends inside the box 1, has a drive gear 6 attached to its end, and is connected to the steering wheel 3.
The drive gear 6 converts the rotational motion of the steering cable 7 into a linear motion of the steering cable 7.
This will operate the rudder (not shown).

However, in the conventional steering box 1, since the tilt angle and height of the steering wheel 3 are properly set, the steering performance is not sacrificed in one of the above-mentioned postures. I didn't get it.

In view of the conventional situation, the present invention has been developed in such a manner that the helmsman is seated,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a steering box that can appropriately adjust the inclination angle and height of a steering wheel, regardless of whether the steering is performed in an upright position or in an upright position.

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, the steering box is divided into a stand part fixed on the hull and an instrument part to which steering devices are assembled, and this instrument part is attached to the upper part of the stand part. The instrument part is assembled so as to be rotatable in the front and rear directions, and an angle pll of the instrument part is provided between the instrument part and the stand part.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in which the same parts as those of the conventional structure are denoted by the same reference numerals.

In Figures 3 and 4, reference numeral 10 indicates a steering box, and the steering box 10 is divided into a stand part 11 fixed on the hull 2, and an instrument part 12 to which a steering handle 3, etc. is assembled. Ash,
This instrument part 12 is fitted onto the upper part of the stand part 11 and is attached to the upper front part 11411 of the stand part 11 by a pin 13 so as to be rotatable in the front and back direction. The pin insertion hole 14 of the instrument section 12 is elongated in the front-rear direction. These instrument sections 12
An angle adjusting means 15 for the instrument section 120 is provided between the stand section 11 and the instrument section 120.

In this embodiment, the angle adjustment means 15 is comprised of a rod 16 attached across both rear side walls of the instrument section 12, and a multi-stage first rod 16 formed on the upper edge of both sides of the stand section 110.
．． It consists of the 20th rod engaging portions 17 and 18.

A stopper 19 is fixed to the upper edge of the 20th rod engaging portion 18 to completely prevent the rod 16 from crossing over. Here, the rod 16 and the first. The relationship between the 20th rod engaging portions 17 and 18 is set according to the sitting posture and standing posture of the helmsman, and when the rod 16 is engaged with the 10th rod engaging portion 17, The angle and height of the steering wheel 3 are appropriate when the driver steers the vehicle in a seated position, and the steering wheel 3 becomes appropriate when the driver steers the vehicle in a standing position with the rod 16 engaged with the 20th rod engaging portion 18. 3
Set the angle and height to be appropriate.

According to the structure of the above embodiment, when the driver steers the vehicle in a seated position, the rod 16 is connected to the tenth rod as shown in FIG. 3A.
If the steering wheel 3 is inserted into the head engaging portion 17 and engaged, the angle and height of the steering wheel 3 will be at a position that exactly corresponds to the seating position, and good steering performance will be obtained. Next, when the helmsman steers in a standing position, the instrument section 12
When the pin is lifted and slid forward, the rear toe of the elongated hole 14 engages with the pin 13, as shown in FIG. 3B.
When the rod 16 engages with the 20th hand holding portion 18, the height of the angle hook of the steering wheel 3 becomes suitable for steering in an upright position.

In addition, if a butterfly screw or the like is used as the pin 13, after adjustment,
The instrument part can be easily identified to the stand part. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, the instrument section 2 may be extended to the side thereof, and a meter addition, a switch 21, an accelerator lever n, etc. may be provided in this extended section. The stand portion 11 does not necessarily have to be configured in a box shape, and may have a frame structure using a pipe material 11ai, as shown in FIG. 6, for example.

Furthermore, the rod 16 and the first. The second retaining parts 17 and 18 are
In the opposite relationship to that described above, that is, as shown in FIG. 7, first . second engagement part 17,
Rods 16 may be provided protruding from both sides of the upper rear side of the stand s11 and the stand s11.

As described above, according to the present invention, the angle and height of the steering wheel can be controlled appropriately according to the sitting and standing postures of the steering person, and therefore, it is possible to further improve steering performance and improve safety. It has an uplifting effect.
