  The present invention relates to a lever boot mounting structure for a vehicle, and more particularly to a technique for preventing a lever boot from bulging into a passenger compartment during lever operation.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, levers such as a parking brake lever and a shift lever of a vehicle are provided in an opening formed in a vehicle interior such as a center console. The peripheral edge of the opening and the lever are usually covered with a flexible lever boot made of synthetic leather or the like.

  The lever boot connects the lever operation part provided in the protruding part of the lever side of the lever to the peripheral part of the opening, and the lever is provided between the lever operation part by lever operation and the peripheral part of the opening. In order to absorb the change in distance, an extra length portion is provided.

Thereby, since the rotation locus | trajectory of the hook body 25 is located below the opening part 5e, it can prevent that the hook body 25 protrudes above the opening part 5e at the time of parking brake lever 1 operation. Further, since the hook body 25 extends along the circumferential direction of the rotation shaft 19 of the parking brake lever 1, the distance between the hook body 25 and the rotation shaft 19 can be kept constant when the parking brake lever 1 is operated. . Therefore, regardless of the position of the lever grip 15, the hook body 25 can be displaced from the opening 5 e at a substantially constant position, and the hook body 25 can be brought close to the periphery of the opening 5 e.
