Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a knob attached to the tip of a vehicle shift lever.

Conventionally, when the knob body was made of wood, a resin or metal caution plate with a shift range scale was fixed with adhesive to the recess formed on the top surface (top) of the knob body. Ta.
Therefore, a portion of the courseion plate tends to peel off due to poor adhesion of the courseion plate to the knob body, deterioration of the adhesive, or a difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the knob body and the courseion plate. It was hot. Further, there was a problem in that due to partial peeling of the courseion plate, the courseion plate vibrates and noise (abnormal noise) is generated.

In view of the above reasons, the object of this invention is to provide a knob for a shift lever for a vehicle that can eliminate noise generation due to vibration of a caution plate.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A fitting hole 2 corresponding to a holding member 3, which will be described below, is formed through the center of the wooden knob body 1 in the vertical direction.

a hard synthetic resin formed with a female thread 5 that is screwed onto the tip of a vehicle shift lever (not shown);
A holding member 3 holding an insert 4 made of metal or the like is fitted into a fitting hole 2 of the knob body 1. This holding member 3 is made of soft synthetic resin, and its upper surface 3a is exposed from the upper surface of the knob body 1. A shift range scale (shift pattern) is marked on the upper surface 3a of the holding member 3.

Further, in this embodiment, an annular groove 6 is formed between the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the holding member 3 and the inner peripheral surface of the upper end of the fitting hole 2 of the knob body 1.
A metal retaining ring 7 is press-fitted for both decoration and steadying. Furthermore, the fitting hole 2 of the knob body 1
A metal end ring 8 is fitted into the opening at the lower end for both decoration and reinforcement.

In the above structure, the upper surface 3a of the resin holding member 3 is exposed to the upper surface of the wooden knob main body 1, and the shift range scale is marked on the upper surface 3a, so that a caution plate is not required.

As shown in FIG. 3, the upper end 13 of the holding member 3 that holds the insert 4 may be made of a hard synthetic resin, and a shift range scale may be added to the upper surface 13a. In this case, the wear resistance and durability of the upper end portion 13 of the holding member 3, particularly the upper end surface (scale surface) 13a, can be increased.

As mentioned above, this idea has a fitting hole in the center of the wooden knob body that opens on both the top and bottom sides of the knob body, and an insert with a female thread that corresponds to a vehicle shift lever in the center. A resin holding member is fitted from the upper end to the lower end of the fitting hole, and a shift range scale is marked on the upper surface of the holding member exposed on the upper surface of the knob body. A retaining ring is press-fitted between the outer circumferential surface of the upper end and the inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the fitting hole of the knob body, and serves both as a steady rest and as a decoration. This is a vehicle shift lever knob with a metal end ring fitted into the lower opening for both decoration and reinforcement.

Therefore, according to this invention, unlike the conventional ones in which a resin or metal causion plate is attached to the top surface of the wooden knob body, the fitting hole is inserted through the center of the wooden knob body. By marking the shift range scale on the upper surface of the resin holding member fitted from the upper end to the lower end, it is possible to eliminate the noise caused by the vibration of the conventional caution plate.

In particular, according to this invention, the retaining ring press-fitted between the outer circumferential surface of the upper end of the retaining member and the inner circumferential surface of the upper end of the fitting hole of the knob body allows the retaining member and the knob body to be mutually connected. It is possible to prevent rattling and steady rest.

Furthermore, the wooden knob body can be reinforced by the metal end ring fitted to the lower end opening of the fitting hole of the knob body, and the wooden knob body can be inserted into the fitting hole. Durability can be improved by preventing damage to the lower end opening.

Furthermore, there is an effect that the retaining ring and the end ring can improve the external design of the knob.
