Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle seat having an ISO-FIX compatible anchor that can hold an ISO-FIX type child seat.

  There is an international standard ISO-FIX as a method for fixing a child seat to a vehicle seat, and a vehicle seat having an ISO-FIX compatible anchor that can fix the ISO-FIX type child seat is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-105580. It is disclosed in publications and the like.

  In this type of ISO-FIX child seat, left and right locking members are provided at the rear thereof, and an anchor that receives the locking member (an ISO-FIX compatible anchor) is used for a rear end of a cushion of a vehicle seat or a seat back. Arranged at the lower end.

  An anchor is known that is formed by bending a wire material (solid bar) into a substantially U-shape in plan view in which the front ends of the left and right sidebars that extend parallel to each other in front are connected by a front bar. ing. The child seat has left and right engaging members extending rearward, for example, in the lower part of the back, and the engaging members are formed in a substantially bifurcated shape in side view with a long groove-like notch (engagement port) at the tip. The child seat is held by the anchor by engaging the joint with the front bar of the anchor. Usually, the lower arm of the bifurcated engagement member is formed shorter than the upper arm so that the engagement member smoothly engages with the front bar.

  Usually, the anchor is provided at the rear end of the seat cushion or the lower end of the seat back. Both the seat cushion and seat back are covered with a pad (seat pad) made of foamed material such as foamed urethane, and the pad is covered with a trim cover. Is formed on the pad. The case where the anchor is provided at the rear end of the seat cushion will be described. The seat cushion frame is formed in a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view in which the front and rear ends of the left and right side frames are connected by, for example, a connecting pipe. It is fixed to the connecting pipe at the back of the seat and is arranged in the pad recess at the rear end of the seat cushion.

Since the appearance design is impaired when the pad recess and the anchor disposed therein are visible, a configuration has been proposed in which a box-shaped bezel with an open upper end is placed on the pad recess to hide the pad recess.
If a cap that covers the opening of the bezel is attached when the child seat is not attached, the anchor in the pad recess is not visible, and the appearance design is not impaired. However, when the cap is provided so as to be separable from the bezel, it is easily lost when the cap is separated. Therefore, a configuration in which the cap is swingably attached to the bezel is well known.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-105580 describes a configuration in which a bezel is covered with a pad recess and an opening of the bezel is covered with a swingable cap. The anchor extends from the hole (bottom hole) formed in the bottom wall (back surface) of the bezel to the pad recess.
In this configuration, the pad recess is concealed by the bezel, and when the child seat is not attached, the cap covers the pad recess and conceals the anchor in the pad recess. When the child seat is mounted, the child seat is mounted on the vehicle seat by swinging the cap of the bezel to expose the anchor and engaging the child seat engaging member with the front bar of the anchor in the pad recess.

  German patent DE200006692U1 describes a cap that can be stored in a bezel. That is, the cap has a substantially T-shape in a side view with a pair of left and right side walls extending rearward in the center of the back surface, and two pairs of hinge pins that are slightly separated in the front-rear direction from the pair of left and right side walls respectively protrude outward. Yes. A pair of left and right guide grooves extending in the front-rear direction are formed on the left and right inner surfaces of the bezel, and the hinge pin of the cap is slidably fitted into the guide groove, and the front hinge pin is guided by the biasing force of the leaf spring provided in the bezel. By pressing the front end of the cap, the cap is held at a position covering the opening of the bezel. Here, since the two hinge pins are fitted in the guide groove apart from each other in the front-rear direction, the cap is held under the biasing force of the leaf spring at a position covering the opening of the bezel without swinging.

  When the child seat engaging member is pushed into the pad recess when the child seat is mounted, the engaging member presses the cap against the biasing force of the leaf spring, and the two hinge pins of the cap slide along the guide groove of the bezel. . Since the guide groove has an arc shape that rises toward the rear (bezel bottom direction), when the hinge pin is slid along the guide groove by being pushed by the engaging member, the cap has the hinge pin as the swing center. Swinged up and moved up, moved from the tip of the engagement member to the upper surface, pressed against the upper surface of the engagement member by the biasing force of the leaf spring, and the rear hinge pin was in contact with the rear end of the guide groove Stored in the bezel.

JP 2008-105580 A German utility model DE200006692U1

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-105580 requires a means for fixing the cap in a state where the cap is swung and the bezel opening is opened when the child seat is mounted. Further, a space for securing a swing locus for swinging the cap is required around the opening of the bezel, and the shape and arrangement of the peripheral parts of the bezel opening are restricted in design.

In German Patent DE200006692U1, if the child seat engaging member is pushed into the pad recess, the cap is flipped up and stored in the bezel in a state of being pressed against the upper surface of the engaging member. . In addition, since the cap swings in the bezel, there is no need to provide a space around the opening of the bezel to secure the swing trajectory of the cap, and the shape and arrangement of the peripheral parts of the bezel opening are not restricted in design. .
Furthermore, when the child seat is attached, the cap is stored in the bezel, so that the appearance is good, and further, no external force is applied, so that the child seat is not damaged.

  However, the front surface of the cap (front) is pressed against the biasing force of the leaf spring by the tip of the child seat engaging member pushed into the bezel when the child seat is attached, and the front surface of the cap is also subject to the biasing force of the leaf spring. Are pressed against the upper surface of the engaging member, and are flipped up and stored while sliding on the upper surface of the engaging member. Further, when the engagement member is pulled out from the pad recess by releasing the engagement with the anchor, the front surface of the cap is pressed against the upper surface of the engagement member under the biasing force of the leaf spring as the engagement member is pulled out. It slides on the upper surface to reach the tip of the engaging member, and is returned to and held at a position covering the opening of the bezel while being pressed against the tip of the engaging member under the biasing force of the leaf spring.

  In this way, the tip of the child seat engagement member pushed into the pad recess is pressed against the front surface of the cap against the biasing force of the leaf spring, and is slid up on the top surface, and the same operation when removing it. Therefore, the front face of the cap may be damaged by contact with the engaging member, and the appearance design of the cap may be impaired. Further, if an ISO-FIX anchor mark (pictogram) or the like is drawn on the front surface of the cap, the surface of the cap may be abruptly damaged, and it is difficult to attach the mark (pictogram) to the front surface of the cap.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat that stores a cap in the bezel without damaging the front surface (front surface) of the cap that covers the opening of the bezel.

Therefore, in the present invention, the cap is held at a position covering the opening of the bezel without applying a biasing force, the cap is pulled out and swung, and when the cap is pushed in, the cap is regulated by a regulation pin provided on the bezel. It is configured to be flipped up and stored in the bezel.
That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the recess for storing the anchor used for holding the child seat is formed in the pad covered with the trim cover, and the bezel having the opening is put on the pad recess, and the cap is In the vehicle seat in which the opening of the bezel is covered, the cap is held at a position covering the opening of the bezel by the engaging holding means provided between the bezel and the cap, and the guide groove extends linearly in the front-rear direction. Is provided on the left and right side surfaces of the bezel, and a hinge pin is provided on the cap and is slidably fitted into the guide groove, and the regulating pin abuts against the back surface of the cap covering the opening of the bezel to cap the bezel inward. The control pin protrudes inward from the left and right side surfaces of the bezel so that the swinging of the bezel can be controlled, and the control pin pushes the hinge pin into the guide groove to When pushing force to de is applied to the cap covering the opening of the bezel, the back of the cap to the regulating pin is sliding cap swings swung about the hinge pin, is stored so as to be flipped up bezel.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, when the cap is pushed in, the cap is rocked by being regulated by the regulating pin provided on the bezel and stored in the bezel, and rocks regardless of the pushing of the child seat engaging member into the pad recess. Thus, the cap can be stored in the bezel without damaging the front surface.

The schematic side view of the vehicle seat which concerns on one Example of this invention is shown. The perspective view of the bezel and cap of a vehicle seat is shown. The right side view of the bezel and cap of the vehicle seat is shown. (A), (B), and (C) are sectional views of the cap and the cap at the initial position (position covering the opening of the bezel), the intermediate position, and the retracted position, respectively, along line XX in FIG. . Sectional drawing along line YY of FIG. 4 (A) is shown. (A) and (B) are the bezel and cap in the initial position of the cap corresponding to (A) and (C) of FIG. 4 in the vehicle seat according to another embodiment (Example 2) of the present invention. FIG.

  The cap is held at a position that covers the opening of the bezel by engaging the bezel, the engagement hole provided in the cap, and the engagement protrusion. A linear guide groove extending in the front-rear direction is provided on the left and right side surfaces of the bezel, and a hinge pin is provided on the cap and slidably fitted in the guide groove. When the restricting pin comes into contact with the back of the cap covering the opening of the bezel and protrudes inward from the left and right side surfaces of the bezel so that the swing of the cap can be restricted, and the pushing force to push the hinge pin into the guide groove and slide is applied to the cap, The back surface of the cap is brought into sliding contact with the regulating pin, the cap swings around the hinge pin as a swing center, is flipped up and stored in the bezel.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic side view of a vehicle seat according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a bezel and a cap of the vehicle seat. The front, rear, left, and right refer to the directions viewed from the driver seated on the driver seat, and are indicated by Fr, Rr, L, and R.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle seat 10 includes a seat back 12 and a seat cushion 14, and a seat belt (not shown) is attached to the seat. The seat cushion 14 is configured by covering a cushion frame (not shown) with a pad (seat pad) 14-1 made of a foamed material such as foamed urethane, and covering the pad with a trim cover 14-2. It becomes the composition of.

  A pad recess 14-1a is formed by notching the pad 14-1 at the rear end of the seat cushion 14, and a trim cover (not shown) covering the pad is opened above the pad recess. In addition, although the pad recessed part 14-1a is formed in the seat cushion rear end in FIG. 1, it is not limited to this structure, You may provide a pad recessed part in a seat back lower end.

For example, at the rear end of the seat cushion 14, left and right anchors 30 corresponding to the left and right ISO-FIX for holding the ISO-FIX type child seat 20 on the seat cushion are predetermined in the left-right direction of the vehicle seat 10. They are arranged at intervals.
The child seat 20 has, for example, left and right engaging members 24 extending rearward from the lower portion of the rear surface 22 thereof, and the engaging member has an engaging port 24a formed of a long groove-like notch at the tip. The anchor 30 is formed by bending a wire material into a substantially U-shape in plan view in which front ends of left and right side bars 30a extending in parallel to each other are connected by a front bar 30b. It is fixed to a connecting pipe (not shown) installed in the left-right direction between the rear ends (not shown) and extends forward.

  Normally, the child seat 20 is such that the left and right engaging members 24 are brought close to the corresponding anchors 30 from the front in a state where the rear side sinks and is inclined, and the engaging holes (notches) 24a of the engaging members are engaged with the front bar 30b. Thus, the child seat 20 is held by the anchor and disposed on the seat cushion 14. The anchor front bar 30b is engaged until it reaches the end of the engagement port 24a of the engagement member, whereby the child seat 20 is completely held by the anchor 30.

The pad recess 14-1a is covered with a box-shaped bezel 40 having a substantially rectangular cross section with an open front, and a cap 50 is attached to the bezel opening (front opening) 40F so as to cover the opening. For example, the bezel 40 and the cap 50 are formed from a thermoplastic resin or the like.
In the embodiment, the bezel 40 is integrally formed with the flange 41 around the opening 40F, but is not limited thereto. However, if the bezel 40 is provided with a flange, the bezel can be easily attached to the trim cover by sewing the trim cover terminal around the pad recess 14-1a on the lower surface of the flange.

The bezel 40 has a shape in which the rear surface (rear surface) is also opened. When the bezel is put on the pad recess 14-1 a, the anchor is extended and positioned in the bezel, and when the bezel opening 40 F is covered by the cap 50, the anchor 50 is anchored. 30 is hidden and the position of the anchor is difficult to understand. Therefore, an ISO-FIX anchor mark (pictogram) M may be drawn on the front face (front face) of the cap to clearly indicate the position of the anchor (see FIG. 2).
The bezel 40 may be a bottom, an insertion hole through which the anchor 30 is inserted may be provided on the bottom wall (back surface), and the anchor may protrude from the insertion hole into the bezel.

FIG. 3 is a right side view of the bezel and cap of the vehicle seat.
The front surface of the bezel 40 is formed in, for example, a slope shape in which the lower portion of the front surface is positioned in front of the upper portion, and the cap 50 is formed in a substantially U shape in plan view with left and right sleeves (side portions) 50S.
A pair of left and right guide grooves 42 linearly extending in the front-rear direction are provided at the upper part of the left and right side surfaces 40S of the bezel, and a pair of left and right guides that are fitted in the guide grooves and are slidable along the guide grooves. The hinge pin 52 protrudes outward from the upper portion of the sleeve 50S, and the cap is attached (incorporated) to the bezel by fitting the hinge pin into the guide groove.
The guide groove 42 has a through groove shape extending substantially horizontally in the front-rear direction, and the length of the cap in the front-rear direction so as to secure a space for storing the cap 50 between the ceiling surface (upper surface) 40Up of the bezel. It is formed away from the ceiling surface of the bezel by a distance corresponding to the thickness (thickness).

A pair of left and right restricting pins 44 project inwardly from the left and right side surfaces 40S of the bezel at the front and below the front end 42Fr of the guide groove, and the restricting pins are provided on the back surface of the cap, for example, the back surface 50Sa of the cap sleeve. By the contact, the swing of the cap is restricted.
For example, the regulation pin 44 and the hinge pin 52 are both cylindrical.

  It is sufficient that the regulation pin 44 abuts on the back surface of the cap 50 to regulate its swinging, and the position where the regulation pin abuts on the back surface of the cap is not limited to the back surface of the sleeve. However, in the configuration in which the cap 50 is formed in a substantially U shape in plan view with the left and right sleeves 50Sa and the regulation pin is in contact with the back of the cap on the back of the left and right sleeves, the left and right can be uniformly contacted. The twist of the cap in the direction is difficult to occur, and the hinge pin 52 can slide smoothly along the guide groove. Further, the protruding length of the regulation pin 44 can be shortened, and the configuration is not complicated.

4 (A), (B), and (C) are sectional views of the cap, the bezel at the initial position of the cap (position covering the opening of the bezel), the intermediate position, and the retracted position, along the line XX in FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line YY in FIG.
Between the bezel 40 and the cap 50, there is provided holding means 60 for holding the cap on the bezel at a position covering the opening of the bezel. The holding means 60 includes a pair of left and right engagement protrusions 54 protruding outward at the lower portions of the left and right sleeves 50S of the cap, and a pair of corresponding left and right engagements formed on the left and right side surfaces 40S of the bezel below the restriction pin 44. A combination with the hole 46 is used. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the engagement protrusion 54 is a partially spherical protrusion, the engagement hole 46 is a hole (through hole) that penetrates the side surface of the bezel, and the engagement protrusion fits into the engagement hole. By (engaging), the cap is held on the bezel. Instead of the through hole, a partially spherical recess corresponding to the partially spherical engaging protrusion 54 may be used as the engaging hole.

  The holding means 60 is not limited to a combination of the engaging protrusion 54 and the engaging hole 46 as long as the cap 50 is held at a position covering the opening 40F of the bezel. However, if the holding means is composed of the combination of the engaging protrusion 54 and the engaging hole 46, the holding means is simplified, and the opening 40F of the bezel is covered by the engagement of the engaging protrusion and the engaging hole. The cap can be quickly and easily held in the position (initial position).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the cap 50 is aligned with the opening 40F of the bezel and pushed in the direction of the arrow (rearward) to engage the engagement protrusion 54 with the engagement hole 46 on the side surface of the bezel, Is held at a position covering the front opening 40F of the bezel, and the anchor 30 in the bezel is hidden by the cap.

When the cap 50 is pushed into the bezel 40, the engaging protrusion 54 is engaged with the engaging hole 46 on the side surface of the bezel, and the hinge pin 52 is fitted into the guide groove 42. At this position, the cap 50 covers the opening 40F. It is attached to the bezel 40 (initial position; FIG. 4 (A)). The engaging projection 54 located on the lower half of the cap is not only engaged with the engaging hole 46 on the side of the bezel, but the hinge pin 52 located on the upper half is fitted in the guide groove 42 on the side of the bezel. The cap 50 is securely held at its initial position covering the opening 40F because it is attached to the bezel at two locations, upper and lower.
And since the cap 50 is hold | maintained in an initial position, without requiring independent members, such as a holding leaf | plate spring, a member count does not increase and it does not cause complication of a structure.

In the initial position of the cap (FIG. 4A) in which the cap 50 is attached to the bezel 40 so as to cover the opening 40F (FIG. 4A), the cap hinge pin 52 is fitted into the guide groove 42 of the bezel and the cap engaging projection 54 is The pin 50 is engaged with the engagement hole 46 of the bezel. The hinge pin, the guide groove, and the restriction pin are in such a positional relationship that the back surface 50Sa of the cap contacts the restriction pin 44 of the bezel and the hinge pin is pressed against the front end 42Fr of the guide groove. , Engaging protrusions and engaging grooves are set.
Thus, the movement (swing) of the cap 50 to the rear is restricted by the restriction pin 44, and the movement (swing) of the cap to the front is restricted by pressing the hinge pin 52 against the front end 42Fr of the guide groove. In addition, since the cap is held without play, it is possible to prevent the generation of noise due to play when the vehicle is running.

  Even when a pressing force for pushing the cap 50 into the bezel 40 is applied to the lower half portion thereof, the regulating pin 44 positioned below the hinge pin 52 abuts against the back surface 50Sa of the cap, and the cap swings around the hinge pin as a swing center. The cap is held in its initial position without being pushed into the bezel.

  In the present invention, the cap 50 cannot be retracted simply by pushing it in, and an operation of pulling the cap 50 upward and swinging it before pushing is required. That is, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. 4A, the cap 50 is pulled out and swinged upward, and the cap is pushed into the bezel 40 while being flipped up (FIG. 4B). Is removed from the position that covers (initial position). Then, the child seat engaging member 24 is engaged with the anchor 30 in the bezel, and the child seat 20 is mounted on the seat 10.

  The storage of the cap 50 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 4 (A), since the cap covers the opening of the bezel 40F leaving a space below, the finger inserted from the space below the cap is placed at the lower end of the cap. If it is pulled forward as shown by an arrow, the engagement protrusion 54 of the cap is detached from the engagement hole 46 of the bezel and the engagement is released. Then, if the cap 50 is lifted as it is and the cap is pushed into the bezel 40 from its upper end while the back surface 50Sa is in sliding contact with the regulating pin 44, the hinge pin 52 slides along the guide groove 42, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the cap rides on the restriction pin, swings around and is flipped up.

  Even if a space is left below the cap 50, the anchor 30 is located in the back of the bezel 40, so that the anchor is not visible and the appearance design is not impaired. Of course, the cap 40 may be formed in a shape that covers the entire surface of the opening 40F of the bezel. In this case, for example, a locking groove for locking a finger may be provided in the lower front portion of the cap.

The back surface 50Sa of the cap that abuts against the regulation pin 44 has an upper end (1/3 to 1/4 of the total length) of the back surface so that the cap rides on the regulation pin and swings smoothly around it. After that, it is parallel to the front surface of the cap, and thereafter, the guide surface has a slope shape (cam surface) that moves away from the front surface of the cap as it goes downward.
When the cap 50 is flipped up until the rear end of the back surface 50Sa of the cap rides on the restriction pin 44, the hinge pin 52 that has slid along the guide groove 42 comes into contact with the rear end 42Rr of the guide groove and is prevented from sliding. At this position, the front surface of the cap 50 is slightly separated from the ceiling surface 40Up of the bezel, the lower end of the cap is substantially flush with the opening 40F of the bezel, and the cap is stored in the bezel 40 ( Storage position: FIG. 4 (C)).

  In this manner, when the cap 50 is pushed in, the cap is regulated by the bezel regulating pin 40, and the cap swings and is flipped up and stored in the bezel regardless of the pushing of the engaging member 24. Further, even when the engaging member 24 is pushed into the bezel 40 in order to engage with the anchor 30 in the bezel (specifically, the front bar 30b) when the child seat is mounted, the cap 50 is stored in the bezel and engaged. The engagement member does not press the front surface of the cap and does not contact the front surface of the cap.

Since the engaging member does not press the front surface of the cap and does not contact when the engaging member 24 is pushed in, the front surface of the cap is not damaged by the engaging member. Further, since the front surface of the cap is not damaged by the engaging member, the appearance design of the cap is not likely to be damaged. Since the front surface is stored away from the ceiling surface 40Up of the bezel, the front surface of the cap is not damaged from this point.
Further, since the engaging member 24 does not press the front surface of the cap 50 and the front surface of the cap does not contact the engaging member, the ISO-FIX anchor mark M can be drawn on the front surface of the cap to clearly indicate the position of the anchor.

  Since the cap 50 swings in the bezel 40, there is no need to provide a space for securing the swing trajectory of the cap around the opening 40F of the bezel, and the shape and arrangement of the peripheral parts of the bezel opening can be reduced. Not restricted by design.

The cap 50 makes the hinge pin 52 abut on the rear end 42Rr of the guide groove of the bezel and the back surface 50Sa rides on the regulation pin 44 and is stored immediately below the ceiling surface 40Up of the bezel, so that the cap 50 is detached from the storage position. The cap can be held in its retracted position.
If necessary, the rear end 42Rr of the cap rear surface 50Sa can be set in the retracted position so that the lower end of the front surface of the cap is located above the upper end, and the guide groove 42 does not extend horizontally in the front-rear direction. If the guide groove is formed in a linear shape inclined in the front-rear direction so as to be positioned below the front end 42Fr, the cap can be prevented from being detached from the storage position.
Further, as shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 3, an engagement hole 50Sa ′ that can engage the restriction pin 44 is provided at the rear end of the back surface 50Sa of the cap, and the restriction pin 44 is engaged with the engagement hole at the retracted position. By doing so, the cap is not easily detached from the storage position and can be securely held in the storage position. For example, the engagement hole 50Sa ′ has an arc shape.

  Further, when the child seat is mounted, the cap 50 is stored in the bezel 40, so that the appearance is good, and further, no external force is applied to the cap, so that it is not damaged.

Instead of storing the cap in its upper part (below the ceiling surface) in the bezel, it may be stored in its lower part (above the lower surface) in the bezel.
FIGS. 6A and 6B are bezels at the initial position and the retracted position of the cap corresponding to FIGS. 4A and 4C in a vehicle seat according to another embodiment (embodiment 2) of the present invention. The cross-sectional views of the cap are shown respectively. In the second embodiment, constituent members that are the same as those in the first embodiment (the first embodiment) are denoted by the same reference numerals, the description thereof is omitted, and a different configuration from the first embodiment will be mainly described.
In the first embodiment, the guide groove and the regulation pin are provided on the upper part of the bezel and the hinge pin is provided on the upper part of the cap in order to store the cap in the upper part (below the ceiling surface) in the bezel. In the second embodiment, the second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that a guide groove and a regulation pin are provided at the lower portion of the bezel and a hinge pin is provided at the lower portion of the cap for storing in the lower portion (on the lower surface).

  In the second embodiment, the guide groove 42 is provided in the lower part of the left and right side surfaces of the bezel 40, and a pair of left and right hinge pins 52 provided in the lower part of the cap 50 are slidably fitted in the guide groove. Here, the guide groove 42 is separated from the lower surface of the bezel by a distance corresponding to the length (thickness) of the cap in the front-rear direction so as to secure a space for storing the cap 50 on the lower surface 40Lo of the bezel. Is formed.

  A pair of left and right restricting pins 44 project inward from the left and right side surfaces of the bezel above and behind the front end 42Fr of the guide groove. A holding means 60 is provided between the bezel 40 and the cap 50, and the holding means includes a partially spherical engaging protrusion 54 and a through groove engageable with the engaging protrusion, as in the first embodiment. The engaging projections are provided in the upper portions of the left and right sleeves of the cap, and the engaging holes are provided in the upper portions of the left and right side surfaces of the bezel.

  The cap hinge pin 52 is fitted into the corresponding guide groove 42 of the bezel, and the cap engaging projection 54 is engaged with the corresponding engaging hole 46 of the bezel so that the cap is positioned so as to cover the front opening 40F of the bezel. 50 is held (initial position; FIG. 6A), and the regulation pin 44 abuts against the back surface 50Sa of the cap and regulates the swinging of the cap 50 around the hinge pin 52.

In order to store the cap 50 in the bezel 40, first, the cap is pulled forward and the engagement by the holding means 60 is released. In the second embodiment, the cap 50 covers the entire surface of the opening 40F of the bezel without leaving a gap for locking the finger in the upper part of the cap. It is good to provide in the upper part of the front of the.
Then, the cap 50 is swung around the hinge pin 52 while sliding the regulating pin 44 to the rear ends 50Sa of the left and right sleeves of the cap, and the hinge pin is slid until it contacts the rear end 42Rr of the guide groove. 50 is stored in the bezel on the lower surface 40Lo (storage position; FIG. 6B).
