Abstract

PURPOSE:To mount in good workability a pad member not generated in its tilt by forming in a bracket a long hole opposed to a thread hole formed in a mounting part, screwing to the thread hole from this long hole a mounting screw, adapting its point end to the inner side upper and providing a guide plate tilting toward the inner side upper. CONSTITUTION:Two or more mounting parts 7 are protrusively provided toward the upper in a boss plate 6, drilling a thread hole 8. A bracket 12 is protrusively provided toward the bottom corresponding to each mounting part 7 in a base plate 11, and the bracket 12 provides a long hole 13, opposed to the thread hole 8, to be drilled. A guide frame 14, formed by a spring material, is secured to the inner side of the bracket 12, and a guide plate 15, opposed facing to the long hole 13 and tilted toward the inner upper side, is formed and cut rising in an inner side surface part of the guide frame 14. And inserting the mounting part 7 between the bracket 12 and the guide plate 15 in the guide frame 14, a mounting screw 16 is screwed to the thread hole 8 from the long hole 13. Accordingly, eliminating the necessity for performing screw stopping work while pressing a pad member, its improper tilt is suddenly decreased, even for mounting every one side with the mounting part arranged in both sides, while improving workability.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a steering wheel for a vehicle, and particularly to a mounting structure for a pad body.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in a steering wheel for a vehicle, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-69658, a steering wheel is mounted on the steering wheel body side. The pad body is attached to the steering wheel body by fixing a bracket protruding from the pad body to the 1 part of the handle ζ with mounting screws.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) In the above structure, it is difficult to attach the bracket of the pad body to the screw hole of the mounting part on the steering wheel body side.
Align the holes and take it out from the side] It is fixed by screwing together the screws, but the mounting structural parts are often made of metal presses.
Due to the accumulation tolerance of each part, it is difficult to completely match the mounting surface and the mounting point, and if they are fastened with the mounting screws without matching, the pad body may tilt with respect to the steering wheel body, and as a result, the During work, the pad body must be pressed strongly against the steering wheel body, resulting in poor work efficiency.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to prevent the pad body from tilting and to allow the pad body to be mounted with good workability.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In the present invention, a plurality of mounting portions 7 are provided protrudingly on the side of the steering wheel main body 1, and a bracket 12 protruding from the pad body 10 is attached to the mounting portion 7 with a mounting screw 16. In a fixed steering wheel, a long hole 13 is formed in the bracket 12 of the pad body 10 opposite to the screw hole 8 formed in the mounting portion 7 on the side of the steering wheel main body 1, and A screw 16 screwed into the screw hole 8 of the mounting part 7 from the Q hole 13 of the bracket 12
The guide plate 15 is provided with a guide plate 15 that is inclined toward the inner side and upward, and the tip of the guide plate 15 comes into contact with the guide plate 15.

(Function) In the present invention, the pad body 1 is attached to the steering wheel body 1.
0, insert each mounting part 7 between the corresponding bracket 12 and guide plate 15, and
Screw the mounting screw 16 into the screw hole 8 from above. Then, as the mounting screws 16 are screwed together and tightened, their tips abut against the guide plate 15 and push the bracket 12 downward together with the guide plate 15 on the inclined surface, thereby causing the pad to move against the steering wheel body 1. The tightening is fixed while pushing the body 10 downward.

(Example) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a steering wheel body, and the steering wheel body 1 has a central boss 4 connected to a rim portion 2 via spoke portions 3. A boss plate 6 connected to the spoke core metal 5 is fixed to the outer circumference of the upper end of the boss 4, and at least two or more mounting portions 7 are provided on the boss plate 6 to protrude upward. , a screw hole 8 is bored in this mounting portion 7 .

Reference numeral 10 denotes a pad body disposed on the central portion of the steering wheel body 1, and a bracket 12 is provided downwardly protruding from a base plate 11 on the bottom side of the pad body 10 in correspondence with each of the mounting portions 7. A long hole 13 facing the screw hole 8 is bored in the bracket 12. Further, a guide frame 14 made of a spring material is fixed to the inside of the marking bracket 12, and a guide brake 1-15 is provided on the inner side surface of the guide frame 14 and is inclined inwardly and upwardly, facing the elongated hole 13. is cut and formed.

Then, when the pad body 10 is attached to the steering wheel body 1, the winter mounting portion 7 is attached to the corresponding bracket 12 and the guide plate 15 in the guide frame 14.
and insert the mounting screw 16 into the screw hole 8 from the long hole 13.
Screw together. Then, as the mounting screws 16 are screwed together and tightened, their tips abut against the guide plate 15, and the inclined surface pushes the guide frame 14 and bracket 12 downward together with the guide plate 15, thereby controlling the steering. The pad body 10 is tightened and fixed while being pressed down against the wheel body 1.

At this time, the contact surface 1 is placed on the top surface of the steering wheel body 1.
8 and a part of this contact surface 18, and an engagement convex part 20 is formed in the base plate 11 of the pad body 10, so that the base plate 11 of the pad body 10 can be attached to the steering wheel body. 1, and the engagement convex portion 2 is in contact with the engagement recess 19.
0 is engaged, and the pad body 10 can be reliably fixed at a predetermined height position.

By doing this, the pad body 1
It frees you from having to tighten screws while pressing 0, for example.
Mounting parts 7 are placed on both sides, so even if you install it on one side at a time,
Problems such as inclination of the pad body 10 can be drastically reduced. Moreover, it is particularly effective in securing clearance when a horn mechanism or the like is provided on the pad body 10.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, it is not necessary to perform screw tightening work while pushing the pad body as in the past, and work efficiency can be improved. Even during installation, problems caused by tilting the pad body can be drastically reduced.
