特許第５１３５７８５号公報Japanese Patent No. 5135785

筐体の外周面に、十分に広い平面が存在しないことがある。この場合、ラベルの一部は、筐体の湾曲部に貼り付けられることがある。ラベルの一部を湾曲部に貼り付けた場合、ラベルには、平らな状態に戻ろうとする復元力が生じる。経時変化や熱環境のため、粘着層の粘着力が復元力を下回ると、ラベルの一部が筐体から剥がれ、さらには、折れ曲がる。ラベルの一部が折れ曲がると、ラベルから情報を読み取ることが困難になる。 There may not be a sufficiently wide flat surface on the outer peripheral surface of the housing. In this case, a part of the label may be attached to the curved portion of the housing. When a part of the label is attached to the curved portion, the label has a restoring force to return to a flat state. If the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer is less than the restoring force due to aging or the thermal environment, a part of the label will be peeled off from the housing and further bent. If part of the label is bent, it will be difficult to read the information from the label.

本開示の１つの局面では、ラベルの一部が筐体から剥がれたり、折れ曲がったりすることを抑制できる筐体を提供することが好ましい。 In one aspect of the present disclosure, it is preferable to provide a housing that can prevent a part of the label from being peeled off or bent from the housing.

本開示の１つの局面は、筐体（１）であって、外周面（５Ａ）が平面である平面部（５）と、前記平面部に接続し、一軸方向に湾曲した湾曲部（７）と、前記平面部における前記湾曲部側の端部（１５）から、前記平面部と平行に延びる延出部（１１）と、を備える筐体である。 One aspect of the present disclosure is the housing (1), which is a flat surface portion (5) having a flat outer peripheral surface (5A) and a curved portion (7) connected to the flat surface portion and curved in the uniaxial direction. A housing including an extending portion (11) extending in parallel with the flat surface portion from an end portion (15) on the curved portion side of the flat surface portion.

本開示の１つの局面である筐体は延出部を備える。延出部が存在することにより、筐体の外周面のうち、平面である部分が拡大する。そのため、例えば、ラベルの全体を、筐体の外周面のうち、平面である部分に取り付けることができる。その結果、ラベルの一部が筐体から剥がれたり、折れ曲がったりすることを抑制できる。 The housing, which is one aspect of the present disclosure, includes an extension. Due to the presence of the extending portion, the flat portion of the outer peripheral surface of the housing is enlarged. Therefore, for example, the entire label can be attached to a flat portion of the outer peripheral surface of the housing. As a result, it is possible to prevent a part of the label from being peeled off or bent from the housing.

The housing 1 can be manufactured, for example, by a method of molding using a mold.

図１に示す筐体１は、車両用計器の筐体である。筐体１は、表示面３を備える。表示面３は、表示が行われる面である。筐体１は、平面部５、湾曲部７、反対側平面部９、延出部１１、及び壁部１３を備える。 The housing 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a housing for a vehicle instrument. The housing 1 includes a display surface 3. The display surface 3 is a surface on which display is performed. The housing 1 includes a flat surface portion 5, a curved portion 7, a flat surface portion 9 on the opposite side, an extension portion 11, and a wall portion 13.

平面部５は、外周面５Ａが平面である部分である。図１に示す事例では、平面部５は、車両用計器を車両に取り付けたとき、上側の面となる。
湾曲部７は、平面部５に接続している部分である。湾曲部７は、一軸方向に湾曲している。 The flat surface portion 5 is a portion where the outer peripheral surface 5A is a flat surface. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the flat surface portion 5 becomes an upper surface when the vehicle instrument is attached to the vehicle.
The curved portion 7 is a portion connected to the flat surface portion 5. The curved portion 7 is curved in the uniaxial direction.

反対側平面部９は、外周面９Ａが平面である部分である。反対側平面部９は、平面部５とは反対側から、湾曲部７に接続している。図１に示す事例では、反対側平面部９は、表示面３とは反対側に位置する。また、図１に示す事例では、反対側平面部９の法線と平面部５の法線とは直交する。 The opposite flat surface portion 9 is a portion where the outer peripheral surface 9A is a flat surface. The opposite flat surface portion 9 is connected to the curved portion 7 from the side opposite to the flat surface portion 5. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the flat surface portion 9 on the opposite side is located on the opposite side to the display surface 3. Further, in the case shown in FIG. 1, the normal line of the flat surface portion 9 on the opposite side and the normal line of the flat surface portion 5 are orthogonal to each other.

延出部１１は、端部１５から、平面部５と平行に延びる部分である。端部１５は、平面部５における湾曲部７の側の端部である。延出部１１は一定の厚みを有する板状部材である。外周面５Ａと、延出部１１の外周面１１Ａとは、連続した１つの平面（以下では拡大平面１６とする）を構成する。延出部１１が延びている方向は、端部１５から離れる方向である。 The extending portion 11 is a portion extending from the end portion 15 in parallel with the flat surface portion 5. The end portion 15 is an end portion of the flat surface portion 5 on the curved portion 7 side. The extending portion 11 is a plate-shaped member having a certain thickness. The outer peripheral surface 5A and the outer peripheral surface 11A of the extending portion 11 form one continuous plane (hereinafter referred to as an enlarged plane 16). The extending direction of the extending portion 11 is a direction away from the end portion 15.

拡大平面１６の法線方向Ｎから見たとき、延出部１１は、湾曲部７と重なる位置にある。拡大平面１６の法線方向Ｎから見たとき、延出部１１の形状は、例えば、長方形である。図２に示すII-II断面で見たとき、延出部１１と湾曲部７との距離は、端部１５から離れるほど大きくなる。 When viewed from the normal direction N of the enlarged plane 16, the extending portion 11 is at a position overlapping the curved portion 7. When viewed from the normal direction N of the enlarged plane 16, the shape of the extending portion 11 is, for example, a rectangle. When viewed in the II-II cross section shown in FIG. 2, the distance between the extending portion 11 and the curved portion 7 increases as the distance from the end portion 15 increases.

外周面９Ａが属する平面を、基準面１７とする。図２に示すように、延出部１１の端部１１Ｂは、基準面１７よりも、平面部５の側の位置、又は、基準面１７の上にある。端部１１Ｂは、延出部１１の端部のうち、端部１５とは反対側にある端部である。平面部５の側とは、図２における左側である。 The plane to which the outer peripheral surface 9A belongs is defined as the reference surface 17. As shown in FIG. 2, the end portion 11B of the extending portion 11 is located on the side of the flat surface portion 5 or above the reference surface 17 with respect to the reference surface 17. The end portion 11B is an end portion of the end portion of the extension portion 11 that is on the opposite side of the end portion 15. The side of the flat surface portion 5 is the left side in FIG.

壁部１３は、湾曲部７とは反対側から、平面部５に接続している。図１に示す事例では、壁部１３は平面部５と直交している。
筐体１は、ラベル１９をさらに備える。図２に示すように、ラベル１９は、本体層２１と、粘着層２３とを備える。本体層２１は、例えば、紙、樹脂フィルム等から成る。本体層２１は、様々な情報を表示している。情報として、例えば、製品の品番、識別記号、２次元バーコード等が挙げられる。本体層２１に情報を書き込む方法として、例えば、印字の方法がある。 The wall portion 13 is connected to the flat surface portion 5 from the side opposite to the curved portion 7. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the wall portion 13 is orthogonal to the flat surface portion 5.
The housing 1 further includes a label 19. As shown in FIG. 2, the label 19 includes a main body layer 21 and an adhesive layer 23. The main body layer 21 is made of, for example, paper, a resin film, or the like. The main body layer 21 displays various information. Examples of the information include a product part number, an identification symbol, a two-dimensional bar code, and the like. As a method of writing information on the main body layer 21, for example, there is a printing method.

粘着層２３は、本体層２１の一方の面に形成されている。ラベル１９は、粘着層２３の粘着力により、拡大平面１６に取り付けられている。ラベル１９は、例えば、外周面５Ａ及び外周面１１Ａに跨って取り付けられている。すなわち、ラベル１９の一部は外周面５Ａに取り付けられ、ラベル１９の残りの部分は外周面１１Ａに取り付けられている。例えば、ラベル１９は、拡大平面１６の外側にははみ出していない。 The adhesive layer 23 is formed on one surface of the main body layer 21. The label 19 is attached to the enlarged plane 16 by the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 23. The label 19 is attached so as to straddle the outer peripheral surface 5A and the outer peripheral surface 11A, for example. That is, a part of the label 19 is attached to the outer peripheral surface 5A, and the remaining part of the label 19 is attached to the outer peripheral surface 11A. For example, the label 19 does not protrude outside the enlarged plane 16.

図１に示すように、筐体１は、延出部１１とは反対側にリブ２５を備える。リブ２５は、延出部１１とは反対方向に延びる板状部材である。作業者は、延出部１１とリブ２５とに指をかけて筐体１を持つことができる。この場合、作業者が筐体１を誤って落とすことを抑制できる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the housing 1 is provided with a rib 25 on the side opposite to the extending portion 11. The rib 25 is a plate-shaped member extending in the direction opposite to the extending portion 11. The operator can hold the housing 1 by putting his / her finger on the extending portion 11 and the rib 25. In this case, it is possible to prevent the operator from accidentally dropping the housing 1.

２．筐体１が奏する効果
（１Ａ）筐体１は延出部１１を備える。延出部１１は、端部１５から、平面部５と平行に延びる部分である。延出部１１が存在することにより、外周面５Ａよりも広い拡大平面１６が生じる。ラベル１９の全体を、拡大平面１６に取り付けることができる。そのため、ラベル１９の一部が湾曲部７の上に取り付けられることを抑制できる。その結果、ラベル１９の一部が筐体１から剥がれたり、折れ曲がったりすることを抑制できる。 2. Effect of the housing 1 (1A) The housing 1 includes an extension portion 11. The extending portion 11 is a portion extending from the end portion 15 in parallel with the flat surface portion 5. The presence of the extending portion 11 creates an enlarged plane 16 wider than the outer peripheral surface 5A. The entire label 19 can be attached to the enlarged plane 16. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a part of the label 19 from being mounted on the curved portion 7. As a result, it is possible to prevent a part of the label 19 from being peeled off or bent from the housing 1.

（１Ｂ）端部１１Ｂは、基準面１７よりも、平面部５の側の位置、又は基準面１７の上にある。そのため、反対側平面部９が下側になるように筐体１を台等の上に置いた場合に、延出部１１に荷重が加わり難い。その結果、延出部１１の破損を抑制できる。また、反対側平面部９が下側になるように筐体１を台等の上に置いた場合に、反対側平面部９の全体が台等に接地するので、台等の上で筐体１が安定する。
＜他の実施形態＞
以上、本開示の実施形態について説明したが、本開示は上述の実施形態に限定されることなく、種々変形して実施することができる。 (1B) The end portion 11B is located on the side of the flat surface portion 5 or above the reference surface 17 with respect to the reference surface 17. Therefore, when the housing 1 is placed on a table or the like so that the flat surface portion 9 on the opposite side is on the lower side, it is difficult for a load to be applied to the extending portion 11. As a result, damage to the extending portion 11 can be suppressed. Further, when the housing 1 is placed on a table or the like so that the opposite flat surface portion 9 is on the lower side, the entire opposite flat surface portion 9 is grounded on the table or the like, so that the housing is placed on the table or the like. 1 is stable.
