Housing wall of a consumer electronics device with an outward through a flap enclosed niche

The invention relates to a housing wall of a device Consumer electronics with a niche closed off from the outside by a flap one of the preamble of the protection claim 1 specified 'Art.

In addition to operating elements such as rotary knobs, switching or sliding levers that are frequently used, entertainment electronics devices often also contain operating elements that only need to be used in very rare cases. Such rarely used controls, such as for setting preselectable transmitters or setting an average color image are often arranged in a niche in the housing wall of a radio or television receiver or other entertainment electronics device and covered by an open flap. In these devices, the flap closing the recess is generally rotatably mounted about two bearing pins which are arranged in a horizontal axis in the region of the lower edge of the flap. In many cases, the flap rests on the lower outer edge of the niche when it is open. There is a risk that open at a pressure of <ii ^e, resting on the recess edge flap break the journals ^.

The invention is based on the object, in the case of a niche covered by a flap in a housing wall, of the type specified at the beginning Kind to prevent a pressure on the open

Flap the bearing journals can break out. This object is achieved by the features specified in the license plate Schutzanspru- \ ches one technical measures according to the invention.

The measures required according to the invention to break out Avoiding the journal does not require any additional mechanical components. They are just appropriate Refinements of the existing components necessary. The forces on the bearing pin are determined by the measures the invention significantly reduced.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims. By the resilient mounting according to claim

2, in particular, inaccuracies in the design can be compensated so that an optimal support of the open flap is always achieved. The resilient storage can be in simple Way also for a closure of the flap according to claim

3 should be included.

The invention is explained below on the basis of an advantageous exemplary embodiment explained in more detail. Show in the drawing

shown in a vertical section. In the housing 1 of the television set with a vertical housing wall 2, a housing part 3 with a niche 4 in its housing wall 5 is inserted so that the housing wall 5 of the housing part 3 lies in the plane of the housing wall 2 of the television set. The niche 4 is closed off to the outside by a flap 6 which, in the closed state, also lies in the plane of the housing wall 2 of the television set. On the inside of the flap, in the region of the lower edge 7, ^{a bearing pin 8 is attached on both sides J e} , which is mounted in the bore 9 of a bearing element 1o. The bearing element is sheet-shaped and fastened in a pocket 11 of the housing part 3. A bearing shoe 13 with the bearing bore 9 is integrally formed on a spring arm 12 of the bearing element, whereby a spring travel of the bearing bore parallel to the plane of the housing wall 2 or 4 is created. In the area of the upper edge 14, the flap 6 contains at least one locking hook 15 on its inside, the nose 16 of which engages in a recess 17 in the inner wall 18 of the niche 4. The bottom of the niche 4 contains one or more openings 19 through which the operating elements, not shown in the drawing, protrude.

To open the flap 5, the flap is attached to a recess 2o in the upper edge 14 slightly pressed down until the nose 16 of the locking hook 15 is free, and the flap around the bearing pin 8 folded downwards until it rests with its outer surface 21 on the lower outer edge 22 of the niche 4. In this state, the flap 6 is also with an inner surface 23, which is between the bearing pin and the The lower edge 7 of the flap 6 is located on the underside 24 of a web 25 which is parallel to the axis of rotation of the flap 6 is molded on the bottom of the niche. It is advantageous that the inner surface 23 of the flap is beveled so that it is opened in the open State of the flap flat on the underside 24 of the

Rests. The contact point of the outer surface 21 of the flap 6 on the lower outer edge 22 of the niche 4 is substantially further away from the lower edge 7 of the flap than the bearing pins 8 are away from this edge. As a result of these measures, the main component of this pressure is absorbed by the lower outer edge of the niche and the web 25 when pressure is applied perpendicularly to the open and resting flap and only a significantly minor force component is transmitted to the bearing pin / so that the bearing pin 8 is accidentally broken off Loading of the open flap 6 is avoided.
