Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] The present invention aims to reduce the number of parts of a parking brake release device of a vehicle such as an automobile and to improve the quality. [Structure] A rod 4 of a release knob 3 of a parking brake is slidably fitted to a cylindrical guide portion 11 integrally provided on a release knob mounting portion 2 of an instrument panel 1.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a parking brake release device for a vehicle such as an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a release knob mounting recess (2) is provided in an instrument panel (1) of a vehicle, and the release knob (3) is housed in the recess (2), and the release knob (3 ), The rod (4) extending from the root end is slidably inserted into the guide part (6) having the bracket (6A), and is supported by the bracket (5) by the guide part (6) and the screw (5A). Further, the bracket (5) is fixed to the bracket (9) of the instrument panel (1) with a screw (7) and a nut (8). Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the guide portion (6) integrally formed with the bracket (6A) of synthetic resin or the like, the rod (4) is slidably inserted into the guide portion (6) and the bracket (6A) is inserted. Is attached to the bracket (9) of the instrument panel (1) with a screw (7) and a nut (8). In the above structure, the rod (4) of the release knob (3) is slidably fitted in the guide portion (6) of the bracket (5), and when the release knob (3) is pulled, the rod (4) The parking brake is released via the operating wire (10) which is connected to

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above conventional configuration requires two brackets, the release knob (3) side bracket (5), the instrument panel (1) side bracket (9), and the number of parts is large, and there is a gap between the two brackets. There is also a risk of sticking or loosening. Furthermore, the quality of the alignment between the recess (2) of the instrument panel (1) and the release knob (3) is not stable.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention has a structure in which a vehicle-mounted instrument panel (1) has a release knob (3) and a mounting portion (2) which is integrally tubular with the instrument panel (1). A guide part (11) is provided, and a rod (4) extending from the root end of the release knob (3) is slidably fitted to the guide part (11), and the rod (4) is parked. To provide a parking brake release device that is in contact with a release mechanism.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the present invention, the tubular guide portion (1 1) for slidably supporting the rod (4) of the release knob (3) is provided integrally with the vehicle instrument panel (1), so the mounting bracket No need for screws, nuts, etc., reducing the number of parts, and eliminating rattling or loosening. In addition, the quality of alignment between the recess (2) and the release knob (3) is easy to stabilize.

[0006]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. (1) is an instrument panel of a vehicle such as an automobile, and a parking brake is provided at a predetermined position of a lower edge of the instrument panel (1). A recess (2) for accommodating the release knob (3) is formed, and a rod (4) protruding from the root end of the release knob (3) is formed from the rear surface of the recess (2). A tubular guide portion (11) that is slidably fitted is integrally provided.

In the above structure, the rod (4) of the release knob (3) is slidably fitted to the guide portion (11), and when the release knob (3) is pulled, The parking brake is released via the operating wire (10) which is connected to the rod (4).

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, in the present invention, the structure of the parking brake releasing device of a vehicle such as an automobile is simplified, the number of parts is reduced, and rattling and loosening are prevented, so that the quality is improved.
