Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a structure of a leather wrapped grip in a parking brake lever of an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, under the influence of the high-class orientation of automobiles, it has been attempted to cover the grip portion of the parking brake lever or the chain lever with a skin made of leather to give a high-class feeling. By the way, in these grips, a push button for releasing the operation is usually arranged so that the push button can be retracted from the grip.Therefore, when manufacturing the grip, how to treat the skin of the push button is a problem. Become.

Here, the conventional processing method will be described by taking the grip 3 of the parking brake lever 1 shown in FIG. 5 as an example. The parking brake lever 1 has an inside of a cylindrical portion 21 formed at a front end portion of the lever body 2. Is provided with a push button 4 for pushing and pulling the operating rod 5 in a state of being urged by a spring 8, and a pad having a predetermined shape surrounding the outer peripheral side of the tubular portion 21 outside the tubular portion 21. A grip 3 is attached to the pad 31 and a leather skin 32 covering the surface of the pad 31. An opening 33 is formed at the tip of the pad 31 to allow the push button 4 to project and retract, and the push button 4 projects to the outside through the opening 33.

In this case, at the opening 33 portion, the skin 32 is wound into the opening 33, and a C-shaped collar member having a predetermined elastic restoring force is provided inside the winding portion 32 a of the skin 32. 50 is press-fitted, and by the expansion restoring force of the collar member 50, the skin 32 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the pad opening 33 to prevent the curling of the winding portion 32a, and to prevent the collar member 50 itself from turning. We are trying to prevent it from falling off.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the case where the winding portion 32a of the outer skin 32 is fixed to the opening 33 side of the pad 31 by the C-shaped collar member 50 having a predetermined elastic restoring force, the collar member is Since it is necessary to fit the collar member 50 into the opening 33 in a state where the collar member 50 is reduced in diameter when the collar 50 is mounted, it is difficult to perform the work. It is hard to say, and there is room for improvement.

In view of this, the present invention does not propose a grip structure that can improve workability by surely performing the treatment of the wound portion of the epidermis with one touch.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, as a concrete means for solving such a problem, the surface of a pad having a predetermined shape having an opening for inserting a push button at one end thereof is covered with an epidermis, while at the opening portion, the epidermis is formed. In the inner peripheral surface side of the opening, and a ring-shaped collar member is attached to the inside of the wound portion of the outer skin, wherein the collar member is attached to the inner peripheral surface of the wound portion of the outer skin. The outer peripheral surface has substantially the same diameter, and the outer peripheral surface gradually increases from the rear end surface located on the back side of the opening of the collar member to the front end surface located on the front side. It is characterized by the formation of an inclined wedge-shaped ridge that increases the amount of protrusion from the surface.

[0008]

[Action]

 In the present invention, the color member is press-fitted and inserted into the inside of the wound portion of the skin wound in the opening portion of the pad from the back end face side thereof. In this case, since each of the ridges formed on the outer peripheral surface of the collar member has a wedge-like shape that inclines upward from the rear end surface toward the front end surface, the collar member is located inside the opening. As the ridges are pushed in, the ridges push the rolled-in portion 32a of the outer skin 32 radially outward to bring it into pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the opening, thereby generating a predetermined contact pressure with the inner peripheral surface. Excuse me. Further, at this time, the protrusions of the collar member are pushed into the wound portion of the epidermis while being pushed in, and because the protrusions of the collar member have a wedge-like shape, the collar member retreats, that is, from the opening. It will be surely prevented from falling off. As a synergistic effect of such a pressing action of the collar member against the opening side of the wound portion of the skin and the position holding action of the collar member by each ridge, the "inflection" of the wound portion of the skin can be reliably and long-term. It is properly maintained over the entire length, and the aesthetic appearance of the push button portion of the grip is secured.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, according to the grip structure of the present invention, the collar member can be securely prevented from being “turned up” by the collar member by press-fitting the collar member inside the wound portion of the skin wound in the opening of the pad. Therefore, as compared with the conventional configuration in which the collar member is inserted into the opening in a state where the collar member is reduced in diameter, for example, the mounting work of the collar member (that is, the work of processing the wound portion of the skin is performed). ) Is further simplified, and by extension, the number of work steps can be reduced, which can contribute to cost reduction.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the grip structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1A shows a parking brake lever 1 of an automobile to which the grip structure of the present invention is applied. This parking brake lever 1 has a basic structure similar to that of the conventional one (see FIG. 5), and although it partially overlaps with the parts already described, the structure will be briefly described. 2 is a lever body. The lever body 2 has a lock mechanism X composed of a sector 7 and a ratchet 6 on the side of the base end 2a which is the center of rotation thereof, while the tip 2b of the lever main body 2 has a cylindrical portion 21 having a predetermined diameter. In addition, the guide portion 42 of the push button 4 including the pressing portion 41 and the guide portion 42 is assembled in the tubular portion 21 so as to be retractable and retractable in a state of being biased by the spring 8. The displacement of the push button 4 is transmitted to the ratchet 6 via the operation rod 5.

On the other hand, the tubular portion 21 of the lever body 2 has a pad 31 made of a synthetic resin material having an appropriate elasticity and having an opening 33 formed at one end thereof, and a leather member integrally covering the surface of the pad 31. The grip 3 including the outer skin 32 is attached. The outer skin 32 is wound around the inside of the opening 33 along the inner peripheral surface of the opening 33. A collar member 10 to be described later is press-fitted and fixed to the inside of the winding portion 32a in order to prevent the winding portion 32a of the outer skin 32 from being turned over.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the collar member 10 is an annular body made of a synthetic resin material, and the inner peripheral side thereof is a substantially rectangular shape that allows the pressing portion 41 of the push button 4 to be inserted therethrough. The button insertion hole 11 has a shape. The outer peripheral surface 10a has a diameter dimension substantially the same as the inner diameter of the opening 33 of the pad 31, and a plurality of ridges 13, 13 ,.・ Is integrally formed. When the collar member 10 is press-fitted into the opening 33 side, the height and the width of the protrusion 13 are increased from the rear end surface 10b located at the back to the front end surface 10c located at the front. It has a wedge-like morphology with increasing dimensions. In addition, reference numeral 12 is a positioning projection for positioning the pad 31 in the circumferential direction.

As shown in FIG. 2, the collar member 10 thus configured is press-fitted into the opening 33 through the pressing portion 41 of the push button 4 with the rear end surface 10 b thereof facing forward. Finally, as shown in FIG. 1B, it is arranged at the inner part of the opening 33. When the collar member 10 is press-fitted into the opening 33 in this manner, as the collar member 10 enters the opening 33, the protrusions 13, 13, ... In the state where it is pushed into a predetermined position (state of FIG. 1B), the winding portion 32a is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the opening 33 at a portion corresponding to each of the protrusions 13, 13 ,. A predetermined contact pressure is generated in the meantime, and the outer peripheral surface 10a of the collar member 10 is in contact with the winding portion 32a over the entire circumference thereof to prevent the winding portion 32a from hanging inward in the radial direction. Further, the collar member 10 has a wedge-like shape in which the protrusions 13, 13, ... Engage in the winding portion 32a, and the protrusions 13, 13 ,. As a result, the collar member 10 is reliably prevented from falling out of the opening 33. As a synergistic effect of each of these actions, the "turning" of the winding portion 32a is reliably prevented for a long period of time, and the aesthetic appearance of the push button 4 portion is maintained well.

As described above, according to the grip structure of this embodiment, the above-described operational effects can be obtained only by the extremely simple work of simply press-fitting the collar member 10 into the opening 33. As compared with the case where the collar member is inserted into the opening 33 in a state in which the collar member is reduced in diameter against its elastic restoring force, the post-processing work of the winding portion 32a of the skin 32 becomes easier and easier, The better the quality, the lower the cost.

In this embodiment, the grip 3 portion of the parking brake lever 1 is targeted, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to, for example, a grip portion of a shift lever. Is.
