A locking hole 80b into which the head of the bolt 48 is loosely fitted is formed at the lower part of the bracket 80, and locking holes 80b are also formed at appropriate positions in the middle part and the upper part.
[0030]
A soft material plate (for example, rubber) 82 is fitted along the outer surface of the bracket 80 in the recessed step portion 34b on the outer surface of the shift lever 34, and the soft material plate 82 includes a plurality of hooks formed on the inner surface. By fitting the portion 82a while being bent into each locking hole 80b of the bracket 80, the portion 82a is locked and fixed to the bracket 80 to cover the outer surface of the bracket 80. The outer surface of the soft material plate 82 is set so as to slightly protrude from the outer surface of the shift lever 34 so as to give a soft feeling to the touch of the shift lever 34. Further, on the upper portion of the soft material plate 82 touched by the outer surface, fine uneven portions 82b for preventing slipping are formed vertically and horizontally.
[0031]
As shown in FIG. 4B, the cam plate 35 is formed with a plurality of moderation recesses 35b for the shift lever 34, and a moderation spring 49 is engaged with one of the moderation recesses 35b. Further, moderation is given to each forward operation (F), neutral (N), and reverse (R) of the shift lever 34. As shown in FIG. 5A, marks 53 indicating the forward (F), neutral (N), and reverse (R) rotational operation directions of the shift lever 34 are attached to the upper surface of the handle housing 30A. It is attached.
[0032]
The cam plate 35 is formed with a link shaft portion (engaging member) 35c that overhangs a throttle shaft 37, which will be described later, from the upper surface direction of the handle housing 30A and protrudes to the side. 4A, the other end of the shift cable 51 having one end connected to the shift device built in the propulsion unit 22 is connected, and the shift lever 34 is operated to rotate forward and backward. Thus, the rotation of the shift lever 34 is converted into a linear motion of the shift cable 51 by the cam plate 35, and the shift device in the propulsion unit 22 moves forward (F) and neutral (N) via the shift cable 51. , It is switched to each reverse (R) shift state.
[0033]
In the handle housing 30A, a throttle shaft 37 is disposed along the center line C in the length direction thereof, and the front end portion of the throttle shaft 37 extends forward from the front end portion 30b of the handle housing 30A. The throttle shaft 37 extends into the grip holding portion 30g and is rotatably supported by the front bearing member 52 in the throttle grip holding portion 30g. The rear end portion of the throttle shaft 37 is a base end portion 30a of the handle housing 30A. It extends to the vicinity and is rotatably supported by the rear bearing member 53 in the handle housing 30A. The throttle shaft 37 is connected to the throttle grip 33 so as to rotate in conjunction with the rotation operation of the throttle grip 33.
[0034]
A friction member 54 is engaged with a throttle shaft 37 between the throttle grip 33 and the shift lever 34, and the friction member 54 is not specifically illustrated, but is operated by rotating the throttle friction adjustment knob 40. As a result of expansion and contraction, friction is applied to the rotation of the throttle shaft 37.
[0035]
A stopper 38 having a quadrilateral tip is fixed to a throttle shaft 37 in the vicinity of the cam plate 35 of the shift lever 34.
[0036]
The stopper 38 is set so as to be positioned substantially beside the link shaft portion (engaging member) 35c of the cam plate 35 when the cam plate 35 is rotated to the neutral (N) together with the shift lever 34. In this state, even if the throttle grip 33 is rotated to increase the throttle opening, the stopper 38 is engaged with the link shaft portion (engaging member) 35 c of the cam plate 35, and the throttle operation of the throttle grip 33 is performed. (Throttle opening restriction mechanism).
[0037]
When the cam plate 35 is rotated forward (F) or backward (R) together with the shift lever 34, the stopper 38 is operated when the throttle grip 33 is rotated to increase the throttle opening. Since 38 does not engage with the link shaft portion (engaging member) 35c of the cam plate 35, the throttle operation of the throttle grip 33 is not restricted.
[0038]
When the cam plate 35 is rotated forward (F) or backward (R) together with the shift lever 34, the shift lever 34 is moved to the neutral (N) when the throttle operation exceeds the restriction of the throttle operation of the throttle grip 33. When the shift operation is to be performed, the link shaft portion (engagement member) 35c of the cam plate 35 comes into contact with the tip side surface portion of the stopper 38 rotated together with the throttle shaft 37, and the shift lever 34 is moved to the neutral (N). Cannot be shifted.
[0039]
In order to prevent the deflection of the throttle shaft 37, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the throttle shaft 37 in the vicinity of the stopper 38 is stopped against the rectangular shape that regulates the deflection of the throttle shaft 37 in the direction perpendicular to the axis. A flat leaf spring material (deflection regulating member) 56 is provided.
[0040]
A concave step 30h is formed in the handle housing 30A so that the rear portion of the leaf spring material 56 is fitted from above. The rear portion of the leaf spring material 56 is fitted into the concave step portion 30h and is prevented from rotating. The rear portion of the leaf spring material 56 is fixed to the concave step portion 30h by a single bolt 57, and the throttle shaft 37 is stopped by abutting the outer periphery of the throttle shaft 37 at the front portion of the leaf spring material 56. Deflection is controlled.
[0041]
As shown in FIG. 4A, a pulley 58 is fixed to the rear end portion of the throttle shaft 37 rotatably supported by the rear bearing member 53, and the propulsion unit 22 is attached to the pulley 58. The other end portion of the throttle cable 59 having one end connected to the throttle device built in is wound and connected, and the throttle shaft 37 is rotated by the throttle grip 33. The movement is converted into a linear motion of the throttle cable 59 by the pulley 58, and the throttle valve opening of the throttle device in the propulsion unit 22 is adjusted via the throttle cable 59.
[0042]
In the above-described configuration, the front handle housing 30A in the vicinity of the shift lever 34 with respect to the shift lever 34 disposed in the vicinity of the throttle grip 33 on the inner side surface (the surface facing the operator) of the handle housing 30A of the steering handle 30. A throttle friction adjustment knob 40 and a trim control up / down switch 41, which are relatively frequently used, are disposed on the inner surface of the handle housing 30A. Since a relatively small number of stop switches 42 are arranged, the shift lever 34, the throttle friction adjustment knob 40, the trim control up / down switch 41, the stop switch 42, the warning lamp 45, etc. are all provided in the steering handle 30. Within the housing 30A It means that is disposed on a surface (surface facing the rider side), thereby improving the operability and visibility.
[0043]
Further, the throttle friction adjustment knob 40 and the trim control up / down switch 41, which are relatively frequently used, are arranged in the vicinity of the shift lever 34 and on the inner surface of the front handle housing 30A. The operability and visibility are particularly improved by becoming closer to a ship operator.
[0044]
Further, the throttle friction adjustment knob 40, the trim control up / down switch 41, the stop switch 42, the warning lamp 45, and the like are operated when the shift lever 34 is rotated from the neutral N to the forward F or reverse R. Since it is arranged in the vicinity of the shift lever 34 that is not obstructed by the operator, at each shift position N, F, R of the shift lever 34, the throttle friction adjustment knob 40, the up / down switch 41 for trim control, and the stop switch 42 are provided. The operation and visibility of the warning lamp 45 and the like are not hindered, so that the operability and visibility are further improved.
[0045]
Further, the operability and visibility of the throttle friction adjustment knob 40 and the trim control up / down switch 41, which are relatively frequently used, are particularly improved, and erroneous operation of the stop switch 42, which is relatively rarely used, can be prevented. become. Further, when the shift lever 34 is rotated forward to the forward (F) shift, the shift lever 34 moves away from the stop switch 42. Therefore, when the kill switch plate 43 is fitted to the stop switch 42, the kill lever It is possible to prevent a problem that the curl cord 43a or the like connecting the switch plate 43 and the operator is caught by the shift lever 34.
[0046]
Furthermore, an up / down switch 41 for trim control is arranged inwardly in the handle housing 30A almost directly below the throttle friction adjustment knob 40, and on the inner surface of the handle housing 30A in front of the stop switch 42, Since the warning lamp 45 for the remaining oil amount and the cooling water temperature is arranged, even if the throttle friction adjustment knob 40 and the up / down switch 41 for trim control are arranged close to each other in the vertical direction, the throttle friction adjustment knob 40 for rotational operation is used. There is no possibility that the up / down switch 41 for push control trim control will be erroneously operated.
[0047]
In addition, a concave portion 30c that is flattened outward is formed on the inner side surface of the handle housing 30A behind the shift lever 34, and an inverted V-shape is formed on the rear side of the inner surface of the concave portion 30c. Since the bulging portion 30d that rises in a shape is formed and the stop switch 42 is disposed on the inclined surface 30e on the shift lever 34 side of the bulging portion 30d, the stop switch 42 is operated by the V-shaped bulging portion 30d. Therefore, the operability and visibility of the stop switch 42 are further improved.
[0048]
Furthermore, since the width (thickness) W of the handle housing 30A is narrowed outward by the flat concave portion 30c, the steering handle 30 is rotated from the front to the rear by 180 degrees with the base end portion 30a as a rotation fulcrum. In the case of folding, the inner surface of the handle housing 30A does not interfere with the outer surface of the cowling (engine mounting portion) 61 on the upper portion of the propulsion unit 22 by the recess 30c.
[0049]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the steering handle of the outboard motor of the first means of the present invention is frequently used on the inner surface of the housing in front of the shift lever disposed on the inner surface of the housing of the steering handle. Since a relatively large number of operation members are arranged, and an operation member that is relatively infrequently used is arranged on the inner side surface of the rear housing, all of the various operation members including the shift lever are the housing of the steering handle. Therefore, the operability and visibility are greatly improved.
[0050]
In addition, because the throttle friction adjustment knob and trim control up / down switch, which are relatively frequently used operating members , are arranged near the shift lever and on the inner side of the front housing, the boat operator grips the throttle grip. As a result, the operability and visibility of these operating members are particularly improved , and erroneous operation of the stop switch, which is an operating member that is used less frequently, can be prevented. In addition, when the shift lever is rotated forward to the forward shift, the shift lever is moved forward from the stop switch. Therefore, when the kill switch plate is fitted to the stop switch, the kill switch plate and the operator are connected. The problem that the curled cord or the like to be caught by the shift lever can be prevented.
[0051]
When each of the operation members is arranged in the vicinity of the shift lever that does not hinder the operation by the operator when the shift lever is rotated forward or backward from neutral (claim 2), the shift lever Since there is no hindrance to the operation and visual recognition of each operation member at each shift position, the operability and visibility are further improved.
[0052]
An up / down switch for trim control is placed inwardly in the housing almost directly below the throttle friction adjustment knob, and a warning lamp for the remaining oil and cooling water temperature is placed on the inner surface of the housing near the front of the stop switch. (Claim 3 ), even if the throttle friction adjustment knob and the up / down switch for trim control are arranged close to each other vertically, the throttle friction adjustment knob for rotation operation and the trim for push operation are arranged. There is no risk of misoperation of the control up / down switch.
[0053]
A recess is formed on the inner side surface of the housing behind the shift lever, and a stop switch is arranged on the inclined surface on the shift lever side of the bulging portion formed in an inverted V shape inwardly on the inner side surface of the recess. If it is configured (claim 4 ), the V-shaped bulging portion makes the stop switch face the operator, so that the operability and visibility of the stop switch are further improved, and the width of the housing is improved by the flat recess. (Thickness) becomes thinner outward, so when turning the steering wheel from front to back by 180 degrees and folding it, the inner surface of the housing is the upper part of the cowling (engine mounting part) of the propulsion unit. No interference with the outside surface.
[0054]
Since the steering handle of the outboard motor according to the second means of the present invention is arranged with the stop switch on the inner surface of the housing behind the shift lever arranged on the inner surface of the housing of the steering handle, An erroneous operation of the stop switch, which is a relatively small number of operation members, can be prevented. In addition, when the shift lever is rotated forward to the forward shift, the shift lever is moved forward from the stop switch, so when the kill switch plate is fitted to the stop switch, the kill switch plate and the operator are connected. The problem that the curled cord or the like to be caught by the shift lever can be prevented.
[0055]
Further, the inner surface of the rear than the shift lever, forming a bulging portion which got up inwardly, from placing the stop switch to the expanded portion, the operability and visibility of the stop switch by bulging portion Become more improved.
[0056]
When the bulging portion is raised in an inverted V shape and a stop switch is arranged on the inclined surface of the bulging portion on the shift lever side (Claim 6 ), the stop switch is formed by the V-shaped bulging portion. Since it becomes suitable for the operator, the operability and visibility of the stop switch are further improved.
