Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the fitting margin of base end part of a boot and as well to make the wall thickness thereof thin, by providing a double seal condition to the attaching section of the boot with the use of a seal member and the lip part of the boot. CONSTITUTION:A seal member 9 is disposed along the joint section between a floor panel 3 and a floor cover 7 secured to the peripheral edge of an opening section 5 in the floor panel 3 from which a shift lever 1 is projected. Meanwhile a shift lever boot 11 is fitted onto the shift lever 1, and the base end side of the boot 11 is fixed to the cover 7 by means of screws 13. With this arrangement, the opening section 5 in the panel 3 is closed. The base end side of the boot 11 is composed of a boot base part 15 made in contact with the upper surface of the cover 7, a boot base end part 17 made in contact with the rear surface of the cover 7 and having a small fitting margin (1), and a lip 19 extended from the base end part 17 and made in contact with a seal member 9.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to a shift lever boot mounting structure.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a structure for attaching the base end side of a shift lever boot to the opening periphery of a floor panel, for example,
There is a publication No. 6-127137.

That is, as shown in FIG.
5 is fixed, and the proximal end side of the shift lever boot 109 is fixed 111 to the open end 107 of the cover 105.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In such a mounting structure, the floor hole cover 105
The floor hole cover 10 includes a boot base 113 along the top surface and a boot base end 115 along the back surface of the cover 105.
It is in an engaged state in which the open end 107 of No. 5 is clamped. For this reason, the boot base 113 has a thick wall shape to prevent waving (deformation) during assembly. Further, the boot base end 115 is long and thick to ensure a large fitting allowance to prevent splash from entering from below due to wear during assembly.

Therefore, the shift lever boot 10 is formed thick.
The proximal end of No. 9 is sometimes difficult to deform when assembled, making it very troublesome to assemble, which is not desirable in terms of workability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a shift lever/boot mounting structure that facilitates assembly of the shift lever/boot and ensures good sealing.

[Means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes 70
A floor hole cover is attached to the upper surface of Abanel via a sealing body, and a shift lever is attached to the opening periphery of the cover with a boot base along the upper surface of the periphery and a boot base end continuous with the base and along the back surface of the opening periphery. - In a structure in which the proximal end of the boot is attached, a lip portion extending from the proximal end of the boot is elastically contacted with the opening edge of the sealing body or the floor panel.

[Function] In this configuration, the boot base in contact with the upper surface of the opening periphery of the floor hole cover and the boot base end in contact with the back surface and having a small fitting margin are engaged and fixed, and the assembly portion is engaged with the seal body. A double seal is formed with the lip part.

[Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings of FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, numeral 1 indicates a shift lever for selecting each shift position.

A floor hole cover 7 is fixed to the periphery of the opening 5 of the floor panel 3 from which the seat lever 1 protrudes.
A seal body 9 is interposed at the joint between the floor panel 3 and the floor panel 3 along the joint.

On the other hand, a shift lever boot 11 is attached to the shift lever 1, and the base end side of the boot 11 is attached to the floor hole cover 7.
It is fixed at 13. As a result, the opening 5 of the floor panel 3 is in a closed state.

The base end side of the shift lever boot 11 includes a boot base part 15 that is in contact with the upper surface of the floor hole cover 7, a boot base part 17 that is in contact with the back surface of the cover 7, and has a small fitting clearance, and the base end. It consists of a lip portion 19 extending from the portion 17, and the lip portion 19 is in contact with the seal body 9.

In order to install the shift lever boot 11 configured in this way, the shift lever boot 11 fitted into the shift lever 1 must be attached.
The boot base 15 and boot base end 17 of the boot 11 are assembled to the open end 7a of the floor hole cover 7. At this time, since the fitting allowance of the boot base end portion 17 is small, it can be easily assembled, and the lip portion 19 in elastic contact with the seal body 9 provides a double seal.

Therefore, the splash from below is blocked by the lip portion 19 and the seal body 19, and the noise generated from the transmission side is also blocked at the same time.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the boot base 15 and boot base end 17 of the shift lever boot 11 are connected to the open end 7a of the floor hole cover 7.
The assembly is the same as in the previous embodiment, but the lip portion 19 extending from the base end portion 17 of the boot is brought into elastic contact with the opening edge 3a of the floor panel 3.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, in addition to ensuring double sealing performance, the opening end 3a of the floor panel 3
The sub-shift lever boot 21 attached to the shift lever 1 interferes with the boot 2 because it is covered by the shift lever 1.
1 damage can be prevented.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the shift lever boot mounting structure of the present invention has a double seal structure, so it is possible to reduce the fitting allowance at the base end of the boot and to make it thinner. Assembly becomes easier. Furthermore, the double seal structure can reliably prevent splashes from entering.
