Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to a skidproof covert for the automobile pedal, and more particularly to a structure for fastening the skidproof cover to the automobile pedal.
2. Description of Related Art
As shown in
FIG. 1
, a prior art skidproof cover
11
has a plurality of fastening straps
12
and skidproof rings
13
. The cover
11
is fastened to the automobile pedal
10
by the fastening straps
12
. The cover
11
cannot be securely fastened with the automobile pedal
10
by the fastening straps
12
.
As shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3
, another prior art skidproof cover is fastened to the automobile pedal by a fastening seat
21
in conjunction with an actuating member
22
, a confining member
23
, and a plurality of fastening screws. The automobile pedal is held in the confining member
23
. This prior art fastening structure is complicated in construction and is therefore not cost-effective. In addition, the confining member
23
fits only automobile pedals of certain sizes and specifications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION EMBODIMENTS
As shown in
FIGS. 4-8
, a skidproof cover embodied in the present invention is intended to cover an automobile pedal and is formed of a cover piece
31
, a holding member
34
, two locating rods
35
, and two locating bolts
36
.
The cover piece
31
is provided with a skidproof upper surface
33
and a fixation wall
32
extending downward from one end of the skidproof upper surface
33
such that the fixation wall
32
is perpendicular to the skidproof upper surface
33
. The cover piece
31
is provided with a guide surface
321
, a guide slot
311
, and two through holes
322
.
The holding member

has a long side which is slidably disposed in the guide slot
311
of the cover piece
31
.
An automobile pedal
30
is covered by the cover piece
31
in conjunction with the holding member
34
, the two locating rods
35
, and two locating bolts
36
. The holding member
34
is adjustably joined with the cover piece
31
such that the cover piece
31
and the holding member
34
are held between the two locating rods
35
in conjunction with the two locating bolts
36
which are put through the through holes
322
of the holding member
34
and the cover piece
31
.
The embodiment of the present invention described above is to be regarded in all respects as being merely illustrative and not restrictive.
