Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mechanism for removing a regulator handle knob.

There is a regulator handle as shown in FIG. 1 that is generally attached to the door of an automobile.

A knob 2 is attached to a plate 3 at the tip of the handle body 1.
They are connected via a shaft 4 or the like.

That is, the bottom wall of the knob 2 is open, and a plate 3 that engages with the handle body 1 is provided to cover this opening.

The outer peripheral end of the plate 3 is embedded in the knob 2 so that the plate 3 is fixed to the knob 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, this outer peripheral end is provided with a notch 5 shaped into a plurality of pieces, and the embedded part of the base piece is curved inside so as to be firmly connected to the knob 2. There is.

Through holes 6 and 7 through which the shaft 4 passes are bored in the center of the plate 3 and the tip of the handle body 1, and the through holes 6 have, for example, a square shape.

In addition, the shaft 4 has flanges 8 at both ends that hold the plate 3 against the handle body 1 and prevent the shaft 4 from falling off so that the knob 2 can be supported at the tip of the handle body 1 via the plate 3. ,9.

As described above, the conventional regulator handle does not have any mechanism for removing the knob due to its structure.

Therefore, conventionally, when an occupant hits the knob 2 due to a car collision or the like, it has not been possible to alleviate the impact force applied to the occupant, and the occupant is therefore likely to be injured, which is extremely inconvenient.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the occurrence of the above-mentioned injuries, and its structure is such that a shaft whose both ends protrude from the handle body is passed through a hole provided in the plate of the knob, and one of the flanges formed at both ends of the shaft. In the regulator handle, the plate is clamped to the handle body by a flange of the handle body, and the other flange is engaged with the handle body to fasten the knob to the handle body, the handle body having a through hole of the shaft of the handle body. A slit with a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the shaft is formed continuously at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the slit on the tip side of the handle body is opened, and a slit with a diameter larger than the flange of the shaft is formed at the base end of the slit on the proximal side. The handle is characterized in that a hole is provided so that when an impact force is applied to the knob, the shaft is moved together with the knob along the slit so that the knob can fall off from the handle body.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a schematic plan view of an embodiment of the regulator handle knob drop-off structure of the present invention.

The present invention is a drop-off structure provided between the handle body 13 and the shaft 4, in which a drop-off hole 14 is provided at the distal end 13a of the handle body 13 on the side closer to the proximal end 13b than the through hole 7. perforated.

Further, the tip portion 13a has slits 15a and 1
5b is provided in the longitudinal direction of the handle body 13 from the through hole 7 to the distal end of the handle body 13 and the dropout hole 14.

As a method of providing the sleeves H5a and 15b, for example, the tip of the handle body 1 is cut in the longitudinal direction of the body 1 from the tip to the dropout hole 14, so that the shaft 4 is From through hole 7 to slit 15
The sleeves h15a and 15b are pressed so that they can be pushed apart and moved to the tip or dropout hole 14.
This improves the flexibility of the tip 13a, and the slits 15a, 15b have a width d slightly smaller than the diameter D1 of the shaft 4.

Further, the diameter D2 of the dropout hole 14 is sufficiently larger than the flange 9 of the shaft 4 so that the shaft 4 falls off from the dropout hole 14 when the shaft 4 moves to the dropout hole 14.

According to this embodiment, when the impact force acts from the base end side to the distal end side of the handle body 13, the shaft 4 passes through 7L7.
The knob 2 moves along with the shaft 4 from the handle body 13 to the tip while pushing out the slit 15a.
can fall off.

Conversely, when the impact force acts from the distal end side to the proximal end side, the shaft 4 moves from the through hole 7 to the dropout hole 14 while pushing out the sleeve h15b. Since the shaft 4 has a hole diameter D2 that allows the flange 9 to be fitted loosely while maintaining a sufficient gap between the knob 2 and the handle body 13, the shaft 4 can be easily removed from the dropout hole 14, and the knob 2 can be dropped together with the shaft 4 from the handle body 13.

As described above, according to the regulator handle of the present invention, when an occupant hits the knob due to the collision, etc., the knob can be caused to fall off from the handle body by the impact force applied to the knob, so that the impact force applied to the occupant is reduced to the knob. This can be alleviated through

Therefore, the occurrence of injury to the occupant due to a collision with the knob can be eliminated, and the effect of protecting the occupant can be enhanced.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A shaft having both ends protruding from the handle body is passed through a hole provided in the plate of the knob, and the plate is clamped to the handle body by one of the flanges formed at both ends of the shaft, and the plate is clamped to the handle body by the other flange. In the regulator handle, in which the knob is fastened to the handle body by engaging with the handle body, a slit having a width slightly smaller than the diameter of the shaft is continuous with both ends of the handle body in the longitudinal direction of the through hole of the shaft of the handle body. A slit on the tip side of the handle body is opened, and a dropout hole with a diameter larger than the flange of the shaft is provided at the base end of the slit on the proximal side, so that when an impact force is applied to the knob, the shaft along with the knob is formed. A falling structure for a regulator handle knob, characterized in that the knob can be moved along a slit and dropped from the handle body.
