Abstract
Description
図1~図10は、本発明の実施の形態の第1例を示している。本例のステアリングコラム6bは、それぞれが筒状であるアウタコラム20aの前端部とインナコラム19aの後端部とを、軸方向の相対変位を可能に嵌合させることにより構成される、テレスコピックステアリングコラムである。そして、ステアリングコラム6bの内側にステアリングシャフト5aを、単列深溝型の玉軸受などの軸受27により、回転自在に支持している。ステアリングシャフト5aは、円杆状のインナシャフト17aの後端部と、円管状のアウタシャフト18aの前端部とをスプライン係合させることにより、トルクの伝達を可能に、かつ、全長の伸縮を可能に構成されている。なお、アウタコラム20aの外面には、吊り合いばねを係止するための係止部28を設けている。また、アウタシャフト18aの中間部に、ステアリングロック装置を構成するキーロックカラー29を外嵌している。なお、これらの構造およびその効果は、従来のステアリングコラム装置のものと同様である。
図11~図13は、本発明の実施の形態の第2例を示している。本例の場合には、アウタコラム20bの前端部に被挟持ブラケット部30aを、実施の形態の第1例の場合とは逆に、アウタコラム20bの下方に向けて膨出形成している。すなわち、被挟持ブラケット部30aは、左右1対の被挟持板部31aの下端部同士を、底板部49により連続させることにより構成される。そして、被挟持板部31aに、それぞれ前後方向長孔部34と切り欠き部35とからなる透孔33を、実施の形態の第1例とは、上下方向を逆向きにした状態で設けている。すなわち、切り欠き部35は、前後方向長孔部34の前後方向両端から上方に突出する。そして、被挟持ブラケット部30aの内側に、実施の形態の第1例と同様のスペーサ37を、上下方向を逆向きにした状態で組み付けている。凸部41(図6、図9参照)は、底板部49の上面に当接する。アウタコラム20bに対する被挟持ブラケット部30aの形成箇所などの上下方向が逆になったこと以外の構成および作用は、実施の形態の第1例と同様である。
図14および図15は、本発明の実施の形態の第3例を示している。本例の構造は、本発明を、ステアリングホイールの前後位置を調節するためのテレスコピック機能を省略し、チルト機能のみを備えた構造に適用する場合について示している。すなわち、アウタコラム20cの端部とインナコラム19aの端部とを、軸方向の相対変位を不能に嵌合させている。そして、テレスコピック機構を省略したことに伴って、本例の場合には、左右1対の被挟持板部31bに形成した透孔を、被挟持板部31bの前後方向中間部の互いに整合する部分に形成された、円孔50としている。また、被挟持板部31bの前後両端寄り部分で、円孔50よりも少し下寄り部分に、スペーサ37の係止凸部42を係合させるための係止孔51を、それぞれ形成している。このようなアウタコラム20cと組み合わせるスペーサ37は、実施の形態の第1例および第2例と同様のものを使用することができるため、部品の共用により低コスト化を図ることができる。ただし、スペーサに設ける挿通孔を、単なる円孔とすることもできる。なお、本例の場合には、テレスコピック機能を省略したことに伴い、ステアリングホイールの位置調節時にも、ロッド15(図2、図4、図5および図11参照)が透孔(円孔50)に対し大きく変位することはない。したがって、ロッド15の外周面と透孔(円孔50)の周縁との擦れ合い防止のための配慮は不要である。テレスコピック機能を省略したことに伴い、透孔を単なる円孔50とした点以外は、実施の形態の第1例と同様である。
図16および図17は、本発明の実施の形態の第4例を示している。本例の場合には、アウタコラム20dの前端部に被挟持ブラケット部30bを、実施の形態の第3例の場合とは逆に、下側に向けて突出形成している。この点に関しては、実施の形態の第1例に対する第2例の構造の場合と同様である。アウタコラム20dに対する被挟持ブラケット部30bの形成箇所などの上下方向が逆になったこと以外の構成および作用は、実施の形態の第3例と同様である。
