Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a manually operated lever such as a brake lever or clutch lever for a two-wheeled vehicle.

As shown in FIG.
Since the handle lever bracket 06 is bent in the direction away from the handle lever bracket 06, the manual operation lever 01 whose base portion 03 is swingably supported via the shaft 07 can be moved against the tension of the inner 09 of the wire cable 08. If the manual operation lever 01 is then pulled toward the handle grip 05 side, the manual operation lever 01 may come into contact with the passenger's fingers.

Therefore, the present applicant proposed in Utility Model Application No. 112617-1983 (publication of Utility Model Publication No. 17343-1981) a manual operation lever configured to reduce the load applied to the fingers of an occupant when the lever collides with the fingers of the passenger. has been done.

The present invention is based on the above-mentioned Utility Application No. 112617 (1983).
The present invention relates to an improvement of Japanese Patent Publication No. 17343), and provides a manual operating lever that reduces the load applied to the fingers of an occupant when the manual operating lever collides with the fingers of the occupant.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2 to 6.

1 is a handle pipe, and a handle grip 2 is integrally fitted to the tip of the handle pipe 1.

Further, a handle lever bracket 3 is integrally attached to the handle pipe 1 toward the front, and a base 9 of a manual operating lever 5 is pivotably attached to the bracket 3 via a shaft 4.

Furthermore, a swollen portion 6 is formed at the tip of the manual operating lever 5 toward the handle grip 2, a hollow hole 7 is provided in the swollen portion 6, and a finger 15 is provided on the finger rest 8 of the operating lever 5. When the operating lever 5 is operated around the shaft 4 so as to approach the handle grip 2 by applying the lever, the enlarged portion 6 collides with the handle grip 2, and the finger 15 is pressed between the finger hook portion 8 of the lever and the handle grip 2. A gap is formed to allow for loose insertion.

Furthermore, on the surface of the operating lever finger hook 8 that faces the handle grip 2, a base piece 12 of an elongated elastic member 11 made of a material such as sponge rubber is attached to the lever 5.
It is attached integrally along the longitudinal direction.

Therefore, the base piece 12 is attached to the elongated elastic member 11.
A narrower and taller protruding strip 13 is formed perpendicularly to the center in the width direction.

Furthermore, a wire cable inner binding fitting 10 is attached to the base 9 of the manual operation lever 5, and the tip of an inner wire cable 14 (not shown) is tied to the metal fitting 10.

Since the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 are constructed as described above, the manual operation lever 5 can be operated by hooking the finger 15 on the finger hook 8 of the manual operation lever 5 and bringing it close to the handle grip 2. 5, the wire cable inner 14 is pulled out, and the operating force applied to the operating lever 5 is transmitted via the wire cable inner 14 to clutch means or brake means (not shown).

Furthermore, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, even if the manual operation lever 5 is strongly operated, the enlarged part 6 collides with the handle grip 2, and the finger hook part 8 approaches the handle grip 2 more than shown by the solid line. Therefore, the elastic member 11 does not come into close contact with the handle grip 2, and a constant gap is maintained.

Furthermore, even if the finger 15 that is not hooked on the finger hook 8 of the manual operation lever 5 is pinched between the manual operation lever 5 and the handle grip 2, as shown in FIG. Since the piece 13 begins to curve and deform, and the protruding strip 13 buckles as shown in FIG. 6, the force applied to the finger 15 is small.

Furthermore, since the contact area of the protruding strip 13 that contacts the finger 15 becomes wider, the pressure applied to the finger 15 is greatly reduced.

In this way, according to the elastic member 11, the collision between the manual operation lever 5 and the finger 15 is soft at first;
As the degree of collision increases, the contact area between the finger 15 and the protruding strip 13 increases, and a buffering effect is performed in which the surface pressure applied to the finger 15 is reduced.

In the present invention, in a manually operated lever that is swingably mounted adjacent to the handle grip of a two-wheeled vehicle, a long elastic member having at least a narrow tip end is attached to the side of the lever opposite to the handle grip. When the manual operation lever collides with a finger on the handle grip, the elasticity of the elastic member and the buckling action of the tip of the elastic member can reduce the load applied to the finger, and
It is also possible to reduce the weight of the member.
