Description

本発明は、車両等において、各種ペダルの踏面に取り付けられるペダルパッド、とくに、ペダルを踏み込んだ靴がすべりにくいペダルパッドの構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a pedal pad attached to the tread surface of various pedals in a vehicle or the like, and more particularly to a structure of a pedal pad in which a shoe with a pedal depressed is difficult to slip.

図５〜図７に例示されているように、車両におけるペダルの踏面にデザイン性等を考慮して取り付けられる従来のペダルパッド１は、アルミ基板２に複数の丸孔部３が適宜形成されている一方、アルミ基板２の裏面側を覆うゴム材４に、各丸孔部３内を挿通してアルミ基板２の表面側へわずかに突出する略円柱部５が一体的に形成され、ゴム材４の裏面側における鍵状部６がペダル本体７に嵌められて、ペダルの踏面にペダルパッド１が取り付けられるが、このとき、ペダルパッド１の表面でアルミ基板２に占めるゴム材製略円柱部５の配置及び頂面形状によって、ペダルを踏み込んだ靴がすべりにくいようにすると共に、ペダル踏面の見栄えを向上させるようにしている。 As illustrated in FIGS. 5 to 7, a conventional pedal pad 1 attached to a pedal tread surface in a vehicle in consideration of design and the like has a plurality of round hole portions 3 formed in an aluminum substrate 2 as appropriate. On the other hand, a substantially cylindrical portion 5 is formed integrally with the rubber material 4 covering the back side of the aluminum substrate 2 so as to pass through each round hole portion 3 and slightly protrude toward the front surface side of the aluminum substrate 2. 4 is fitted to the pedal body 7 and the pedal pad 1 is attached to the tread surface of the pedal. At this time, the substantially cylindrical portion made of rubber material occupying the aluminum substrate 2 on the surface of the pedal pad 1 The arrangement of 5 and the shape of the top surface make it difficult for the shoe with the pedal depressed to slip, and improve the appearance of the pedal tread.

しかしながら、とくに、雨天時等で運転者の靴底が濡れていたような場合に、ペダルの各側部、すなわち、ペダルパッド１の各側部８にそれぞれ片寄って運転者が踏み込むと、アルミ板２で構成されたペダルパッド側部８でそれぞれ図５の各矢印方向Ａに靴底が滑りやすくなるため、運転者が意図したとおりにペダルを踏み込みにくくなるというおそれがあった。 However, in particular, when the driver's soles are wet, such as in rainy weather, if the driver steps on each side of the pedal, that is, each side 8 of the pedal pad 1, the aluminum plate 5, the shoe soles easily slip in the respective arrow directions A in FIG. 5, which may make it difficult to step on the pedal as intended by the driver.

なお、出願人は、本出願時点において、本発明に関連する適切な先行技術文献情報の存在を知らないものである。 The applicant does not know the existence of appropriate prior art document information related to the present invention at the time of this application.

本発明は、ペダルの側部に片寄って踏み込まれても、ペダルの踏面に取り付けられたペダルパッドで靴底がすべることを抑制しようとするものである。 The present invention is intended to prevent the shoe sole from slipping with the pedal pad attached to the tread surface of the pedal even when the pedal is stepped on the side of the pedal.

このため、本発明にかかるペダルパッドは、ペダルの踏面を覆うように上記ペダルに取り付けられ、金属基板の表面側に配置されたゴム材が上記金属基板の側部にまで連続的に延びている。 For this reason, the pedal pad concerning this invention is attached to the said pedal so that the tread surface of a pedal may be covered, and the rubber material arrange | positioned at the surface side of a metal board is continuously extended to the side part of the said metal board. .

すなわち、ペダルの踏面を覆うようにペダルに取り付けられたペダルパッドは、金属基板の表面側にゴム材が配置されていて、ゴム材の配置及び形状によりペダル踏面の見栄えを容易に向上させることができると同時に、金属基板の表面側に配置されたゴム材が金属基板の側部にまで連続的に延びているため、ペダルの側部に片寄って踏み込まれるようなことがあっても、金属基板側部のゴム材が靴底の滑りを抑制することができるので、ペダルの踏込み操作を常に容易化できるという長所がある。 That is, the pedal pad attached to the pedal so as to cover the tread surface of the pedal has a rubber material arranged on the surface side of the metal substrate, and the appearance and the appearance of the pedal tread can be easily improved by the arrangement and shape of the rubber material. At the same time, since the rubber material arranged on the surface side of the metal substrate continuously extends to the side of the metal substrate, even if the rubber material is stepped on the side of the pedal, the metal substrate Since the rubber material on the side portion can suppress the slipping of the shoe sole, there is an advantage that the stepping operation of the pedal can always be facilitated.

以下、本発明の実施例について説明する。
図１〜図４において、車両等におけるペダルの踏面に取り付けられるペダルパッド１０は、アルミ基板１１とゴム材１２とで構成され、アルミ基板１１には複数の丸孔部１３と、アルミ基板１１の表面側からアルミ基板１１の側面と交叉するように斜めに延びてアルミ基板１１の側部にまで達する複数の筋状のスリット１４とが形成されていると共に、スリット１４を横切る架橋部１５が一体的に形成されている。 Examples of the present invention will be described below.
1 to 4, a pedal pad 10 attached to a tread surface of a pedal in a vehicle or the like includes an aluminum substrate 11 and a rubber material 12, and the aluminum substrate 11 includes a plurality of round hole portions 13 and an aluminum substrate 11. A plurality of streak-like slits 14 extending obliquely from the surface side so as to cross the side surface of the aluminum substrate 11 and reaching the side portions of the aluminum substrate 11 are formed, and a bridging portion 15 crossing the slit 14 is integrated. Is formed.

また、ゴム材１２は、アルミ基板１１の裏面側を覆い、その鍵状部１６がペダル本体１７に嵌められて、ペダルの踏面にペダルパッド１０が取り付けられる一方、アルミ基板１１の各丸孔部１３内を挿通してアルミ基板１１の表面側へ一体的に延び出し、上記表面側にわずかに突出する略円柱部１８が形成されていると共に、各スリット１４内を充填してアルミ基板１１の表面側及び側面側へ一体的に延び出し、アルミ基板１１の各スリット１４に沿って、アルミ基板１１の表面側でアルミ基板１１の側面と交叉するように斜めに延びてアルミ基板１１の側部にまで達し、アルミ基板１１の表面側にはわずかに突出すると同時に、アルミ基板１１の側面とは略同一平面の側面を形成する筋状部１９が形成されており、略円柱部１８及び筋状部１９がペダルパッド１０表面側の対角線に対し略対称的に配置されている。 The rubber material 12 covers the back surface side of the aluminum substrate 11, and the key-shaped portion 16 is fitted into the pedal body 17, and the pedal pad 10 is attached to the tread surface of the pedal. 13 is formed so as to extend integrally to the surface side of the aluminum substrate 11 through the inside of the aluminum substrate 11, and a substantially cylindrical portion 18 that slightly protrudes to the surface side is formed. It extends integrally to the front surface side and the side surface side, and extends obliquely along each slit 14 of the aluminum substrate 11 so as to cross the side surface of the aluminum substrate 11 on the front surface side of the aluminum substrate 11. A streak portion 19 is formed which protrudes slightly on the surface side of the aluminum substrate 11 and at the same time forms a side surface substantially flush with the side surface of the aluminum substrate 11. Part 9 is substantially symmetrically disposed with respect to the diagonal line of the pedal pad 10 surface.

この場合、ペダルの踏面を覆うようにペダルに取り付けられたペダルパッド１０は、アルミ基板１１の表面側にわずかに突出して配置された略円柱部１８と、アルミ基板１１の表面側でアルミ基板１１の側面と交叉するように斜めに延びてアルミ基板１１の側部にまで達する筋状部１９とのバランスがとれた配置及び頂面形状の組合せによって、ペダル踏面の見栄えを容易に向上させることができる。 In this case, the pedal pad 10 attached to the pedal so as to cover the tread surface of the pedal has a substantially cylindrical portion 18 disposed slightly protruding on the surface side of the aluminum substrate 11 and the aluminum substrate 11 on the surface side of the aluminum substrate 11. It is possible to easily improve the appearance of the pedal tread surface by combining the arrangement and the top surface shape in a balanced manner with the streak portion 19 extending obliquely so as to cross the side surface of the aluminum substrate 11 and reaching the side portion of the aluminum substrate 11. it can.

また、アルミ基板１１の表面側に配置されたゴム材１２の筋状部１９がアルミ基板１１の側部にまで連続的に延びていて、ペダルパッド１０の側部にもゴム材１２が配置されているため、車両の運転者等がペダルの側部に片寄って踏み込むようなことがあっても、ゴム材１２の側部が靴底の滑りを抑制することができるので、ペダルの踏込み操作を容易化して、車両の運転等を簡便にできる大きな長所がある。 Further, the streaks 19 of the rubber material 12 arranged on the surface side of the aluminum substrate 11 extend continuously to the side of the aluminum substrate 11, and the rubber material 12 is also arranged on the side of the pedal pad 10. Therefore, even if the driver or the like of the vehicle deviates from the side of the pedal, the side of the rubber material 12 can suppress the slipping of the shoe sole. There is a great advantage that the vehicle can be easily driven and the like.

しかも、アルミ基板１１の表面側には、アルミ基板１１の側面と交叉するように斜めに延びてアルミ基板１１の側部にまで達するようにゴム材１２の筋状部１９が配置されていて、前記従来装置の場合と比較すると、アルミ基板１１の表面側におけるゴム材１２の表面積を容易に大きくすることができるので、ペダルを踏み込む際の靴底の滑りをそれだけ容易に抑制することができる特色がある。 Moreover, on the surface side of the aluminum substrate 11, the streaks 19 of the rubber material 12 are arranged so as to extend obliquely so as to cross the side surface of the aluminum substrate 11 and reach the side of the aluminum substrate 11. Compared to the case of the conventional device, the surface area of the rubber material 12 on the front surface side of the aluminum substrate 11 can be easily increased, so that slipping of the shoe sole when the pedal is depressed can be easily suppressed. There is.

さらに、アルミ基板１１にスリット１４が設けられていても、スリット１４にはそれを横切る架橋部１５が形成されていて、アルミ基板１１におけるスリット１４近傍の剛性を確実に高めることができるので、アルミ基板１１の成形時に部品としての形状安定化を容易に図ることが可能となり、かつ、アルミ基板１１に対して図示のようにゴム材１２を加硫成形する場合に、スリット１４の開きによりアルミ基板１１自体が変形することを確実に防止することができて、ペダルパッド１０の品質安定化を容易に実現させることが可能となる。 Furthermore, even if the slits 14 are provided in the aluminum substrate 11, the slits 14 are formed with bridging portions 15 that cross the slits 14 and the rigidity in the vicinity of the slits 14 in the aluminum substrate 11 can be reliably increased. It is possible to easily stabilize the shape as a component when the substrate 11 is molded, and when the rubber material 12 is vulcanized and molded to the aluminum substrate 11 as illustrated, the aluminum substrate is formed by opening the slit 14. 11 can be reliably prevented from being deformed, and the quality of the pedal pad 10 can be easily stabilized.

なお、上記実施例ではアルミ製の基板を使用しているが、必要に応じてこれを他の金属に置換することができ、また、ペダルパッド表面側におけるゴム材の配置、形状を上記各実施例から適宜変更できるのはいうまでもない。 In addition, although the board made from aluminum is used in the above-mentioned embodiment, it can be replaced with another metal if necessary, and the arrangement and shape of the rubber material on the pedal pad surface side are each described above. Needless to say, the example can be changed as appropriate.
