BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fixing structure of a panel for fixing members such as jacks, connectors, switches and the like to a front or rear surface between a case and a chassis.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a panel on which a member such as a jack, a connector or a switch is mounted on a front surface or a rear surface between a case and a chassis has a problem that the panel moves or falls when these members are mounted. In order to prevent this, a panel 21 formed in a U-shape as shown in FIG. 4 is screwed 24 to a case 22 and a chassis 23 for use.

[0003]

In order to screw the panel in this way, the panel must be formed in a U-shape in order to make the panel abut on the screwed portion between the case and the chassis. Also, there are problems such as that screwing work is troublesome in the assembling process.

In view of the above, this invention minimizes screwing work when mounting the panel between the case and the chassis, and furthermore, the panel moves when attaching or detaching a member such as a jack or a switch to the mounted panel. As a result of studying the fixing structure of the panel that does not shift, the present invention has been achieved.

[0005]

That is, the present invention is directed to a panel for fixing members such as jacks and switches between a case and a chassis, the panel having an L-shape and having a bent portion in the middle. An engaging claw is integrally formed at both upper ends, the engaging claw is fitted into a notch hole formed in the case, and a bottom surface of the L-shaped panel is screwed to a chassis.

[0006]

According to the panel fixing structure of the present invention, the panel and the case are fixed by fitting engagement claws integrally formed at both upper ends of the panel into notches formed in the case. Can be minimized only between the bottom of the panel and the chassis, simplifying the assembly work, and adding force to the panel when attaching and removing members such as jacks and switches to the fixed panel. However, the panel does not move or fall.

Further, the L-shaped panel is bent at a bent portion perpendicular to the surface of the chassis in the middle thereof so as to have two different planes connected to the bent piece, thereby improving the verticality of the plane. Thus, the positional accuracy in the assembling process can be better maintained.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment thereof. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing an embodiment of the panel fixing structure of the present invention. In the figure,
Reference numeral 1 denotes a case fitted to the chassis 2;
Are provided with notched holes 3 at required positions. Reference numeral 4 denotes a panel which is inserted into the chassis 2 and fixed to the case 1 and the chassis 2, has an L-shape, and engaging claws 5, 5 are integrally formed at both upper ends thereof. The L-shaped panel 4 has different flat surfaces 12 and 13 which are bent at bending portions 15 and 16 perpendicular to the surface of the chassis 2 and continue to the bent pieces 14 in the middle thereof. This makes plane 1
The verticality of 2 and 13 is improved, and the positioning accuracy of the engaging claws 5 and 5 integrally formed at both upper ends of the panel 4 with respect to the notch holes 3 and 3 formed in the case 1 can be better maintained.
Assembly work can be performed smoothly. Further, by adopting such a shape, the notch holes 3, 3, 3
The engagement of the engagement claws 5, 5 with the first embodiment also helps prevent the panel from falling even before being fixed to the chassis.

Thus, the L-shaped panel 4 as described above has the engaging claws 5 at both upper ends thereof,
After being fitted into the chassis 3, the L-shaped bottom surface 6 and the chassis 2 are fixed by screws 7.

As described above, the panel 4 is fixed to the case 1 by fitting the engaging claws 5, 5 formed at both ends of the upper part into the notches 3, 3, so that the screwing work with the chassis 2 is not required. Only the fixing is performed, and therefore, the assembling work is greatly simplified, which also contributes to cost reduction. Members such as jacks, connectors, switches and the like are attached to the panel 4 fixed in this manner, but no problem was observed in the fixed panel even if a force was applied to the panel at this time.

Further, according to the present invention, since different planes 12 and 13 are formed on the panel 4, when mounting members such as jacks and switches as shown in FIG. The mounting location can be selected according to the presence or absence, and can be mounted in a good style. Note that the shape of the panel 4 is not limited to the shape having the bent pieces 14 which are substantially perpendicular to each other in FIG.
Panel 4a having a shape having

As described above, according to the present invention, a panel for fixing members such as a jack and a connector, which is fixed between a case and a chassis, is folded into an L-shape in the middle thereof and perpendicular to the surface of the chassis. 2 that has a bent piece and is connected to this bent piece
A panel with a flat shape, with engaging claws integrally formed on both ends at the top, fitting these engaging claws into cutout holes drilled in the case, and screwing only the bottom surface with the chassis With this structure, the position accuracy in the assembly process is better maintained, and the screwing work is minimized to simplify the assembling work. A fixing structure that does not hinder any mounting of the member to the fixed panel Was found.
