Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a metal operating lever having a resin cap attached to an operating portion of the operating lever to facilitate manual operation has been used. In the case of cars, for example, hoods, trunks,
An operation lever for opening a filler port or the like can be given. Conventionally, such a lever has been manufactured by integrally molding a resin cap portion on a metal lever by insert molding, or by attaching and fixing a separate resin cap to the lever. In the former case, the molding cost of insert molding is large, and burrs are generated at the time of molding, and there is a problem that a great deal of labor is required for removing the burrs. In the latter case,
When inserting a flat insertion end B of lever A into the insertion groove E of the cap D as shown in FIG. 5, the insertion groove E claw portion C cap D provided at the insertion end B of lever A And has a function of retaining the fitting. [0003] [INVENTION Problem to be Solved] In the conventional known 5, when inserting the cap D to the lever A, entering with the claw portion C of the lever A will push the insertion groove E of the cap D Suruga, claw portions which C has passed the insertion groove E groove width is scraped by the claw portion C becomes large, backlash occurs between the lever a and the cap D. For this reason, there is a problem that the feeling when the cap D is manually operated is not good, and the cap D comes off from the lever A in a severe case. The present invention seeks to solve the above problems. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
Is a metal lever, and 7 is a resin cap. The insertion end 2 of the lever 1 has a flat plate shape. In FIG. 2, the vertical direction indicates the width, and the direction perpendicular to the paper indicates the thickness. A claw 4 is formed on one end surface in the width direction, and an inclined surface 5 is provided on the tip 3 side of the claw 4. Projection 6 on the other end in the width direction
To form Insertion groove 8 is provided in the cap 7, the difference
Sectional shape of the write groove 8 is slightly larger than the cross-sectional shape of the end portion 2 to the end portion 2 of the lever 1 is inserted smoothly. 9 is a locking groove which communicates with the insertion groove 8, 12 is an operation unit for applying a finger. Numeral 11 denotes a hollow portion for preventing sink marks from being formed on the outside of the cap, and for making the wall 15 of the insertion groove 8 elastically deformable. Figure 2 shows a state in which finished inserting the end portion 2 of the lever 1 in the insertion groove 8 of the cap 7, the claw portion 4 of the lever 1 enters the locking groove 9 of the cap 7, projections 6 insertion groove 8 is in contact with the wall 15. [0005] inserting the claw portion 4 in a substantially central position of the length of the inserted end 2 into the insertion groove 8 provided, providing the projections 6 at a position closer to the end face 10 of the cap 7, the end portion 2 It can be easily inserted into the groove 8, and rattling after insertion can be completely prevented. If the length (L) of the locking groove 9 is smaller than the length (m) of the claw portion 4, the corner portion 13 of the locking groove 9 is difficult to insert into the inclined surface 5 of the claw portion 4, so that the horizontal direction and the vertical direction Play is further suppressed. The height of the claw portion 4 and the protrusion 6 of the lever 1 is appropriately determined according to the type of the resin material of the cap 7 and the thickness of the walls 14 and 15. According to the present invention, since the cap is held by the claw and the projection of the lever, the cap is fixed to the lever without rattling. Also, since the claw portion of the lever is located substantially at the center of the insertion length, and the protrusion is provided at a position close to the end face 10 of the cap, it is not necessary to apply excessive force when inserting the cap into the lever. The insertion groove of the cap is less likely to be cut off.
