Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to an assembly structure of a shift lever boot for automobiles, etc.

Conventional technology The assembly structure of the conventional shift lever boot is based on the actual construction.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 60-23213 and shown in FIG. A boot 25 formed of an elastic body and surrounding the shift lever 21
A convex fitting part 26 is formed at the upper end of the boot 25, and the convex fitting part 26 of the boot 25 is fitted into the concave fitting part 24 of the lock nut 23.

Problems that the invention aims to solve: This conventional shift lever boot assembly structure poses no functional problems because the boot is made of an elastic material such as rubber, but in order to give it a more luxurious feel, When boots sewn from leather are used, wrinkles 27 occur at the upper end of the boot 29 as shown in FIGS.
Even if the boots were placed as close to the upper end as possible, the chicks 27 generated on the periphery could not be hidden, and the wrinkles 27 were conspicuous and the appearance of the boots was not good.

This invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional shift lever boot assembly structure, improves the appearance of the boot without causing a chick at the upper end of the sewing boot, and fixes the folded piece of the sewing boot by crimping. It is intended for such purposes.

Means for solving the problem The assembly structure of the shift lever boot of this invention is provided with a tapered surface in a widening shape above the shift lever.
A widening tapered hole is provided at approximately the center of the tapered ring, and a plurality of protrusions are provided that are at the same height as the top surface of the tapered ring and protrude inwardly above the tapered hole. Fold the upper end of the boot back to the inner side of the tapered hole, insert the tapered hole of the tapered ring into the tapered surface of the shift lever, and press the tapered ring with the knob screwed onto the shift lever to open the folded piece of the boot. The side and top surfaces are crimped and fixed with a taper ring, knob, and shift lever.

Function The assembly structure of the shift lever boot of this invention is that the upper end of the boot is folded back onto a tapered ring that is at the same height as the upper surface and has multiple protrusions that protrude inwardly above the tapered hole. The wrinkles on the boot are absorbed by the ridges of the taper ring, giving the boot a good appearance without causing wrinkles. The folded pieces are crimped and fixed.

Embodiment Next, an embodiment of the shift lever boot assembly structure of this invention will be described.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a truncated conical taper 2 is provided above the shift lever 1,
A male screw 3 is provided at the upper end of the shift lever 1.

Shift lever 1 approximately in the center of taper ring 4
A tapered hole 5 that matches the taper 2 of is provided and is at the same height as the top surface of the taper ring 4.
In addition, two protrusions 6, 6 are provided that protrude from the upper inner side of the tapered hole 5.

The knob 7 is provided with a female screw 8 inside. The sewing boot 9 covers the shift lever 1, and the upper end of the boot 9 is folded back from the upper surface of the tapered ring 4 along the inner side surface of the tapered hole and further folded back to the outer side surface of the tapered ring 4 to provide a folded piece 10. .
The upper end of the boot 9 is tightened with a rubber band 11 on the outer side surface of the tapered ring 4.

Insert the taper ring 4, which is obtained by folding the upper end of the boot 9 along the taper ring 4, into the taper 2 of the shift lever 1, and then screw the female screw 8 of the knob 7.
This is an assembly structure of a shift lever boot which is screwed onto the male screw 3 of the shift lever 1 and tightened.

In the shift lever boot assembly structure of this embodiment, when tension is applied by folding the upper end of the sewing boot 9 from the upper surface of the tapered ring 4 along the inner side surface of the tapered hole, each protrusion of the tapered ring 4 Since the wrinkles can be absorbed on both sides of the tapered ring 4 as shown in the third figure, the sewn boot 9 on the peripheral edge of the tapered ring 4 does not have wrinkles. Also, by screwing the female screw 8 of the knob 7 into the male screw 3 of the shift lever 1 and tightening it, the taper ring 4 is gradually pushed down to the taper 2 of the shift lever 1, so that the side surface of the folded piece 10 of the sewing boot 9 is tapered. The tapered hole 5 of the ring and the taper 2 of the shift lever 1 are gradually firmly crimped and fixed, and the upper surface of the folded piece 10 of the sewing boot 9 is crimped and fixed by the taper ring 4 and the knob 7.

Since the folded piece 10 of the sewing boot 9 is crimped and fixed at two places in this manner, there is no fear that the upper end of the sewing boot will protrude from the lower end of the knob 7 even when the shift lever is operated.

What is shown in FIGS. 5 to 8 is another tapered ring 12, which is at the same height as the upper surface of the tapered ring 12 and has a 4-shaped ring projecting inwardly above the tapered hole.
The tapered ring 12 is provided with two protruding parts 13 and a step 14 on the upper surface of the tapered ring 12. The purpose of providing this step 14 is to absorb the thickness of the overlapping seam part 16 of the sewing boot 15 as shown in FIG. The thick overlapped seam 16 is absorbed by the step 13 and becomes almost flat on the upper surface of the tapered ring 12, and the flattened sewing boot 15 and tapered ring 12 can be pressed down in the same way with a knob and fixed by crimping. can.

Effects of the invention The assembly structure of the shift lever boot of this invention has a truncated conical taper above the shift lever, a tapered hole that matches the taper of the shift lever approximately at the center of the taper ring, and a tapered hole that matches the taper of the shift lever. A plurality of protrusions are provided at the same height as the upper surface and protrude inwardly above the tapered hole, and the upper end of the shift lever boot is folded back from the upper surface of the tapered ring to the inner side surface of the tapered hole. Insert the tapered hole of the taper ring into the taper of the lever, press the taper ring with the knob screwed onto the shift lever, and press the side and top surface of the folded piece of the shift lever boot between the taper ring, knob, and shift lever. After crimping and fixing, when the upper end of the boot is folded back from the upper surface of the tapered ring to the inner side of the tapered hole, the periphery on the tapered ring is folded to absorb the wrinkles of the boot on both sides of each protrusion of the tapered ring. The boot does not have wrinkles, improving the appearance of the boot, and the side and top surfaces of the folded piece of the boot can be firmly crimped and fixed by the taper, taper ring, and knob of the shift lever.
