BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a vehicle instrument.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a vehicular instrument in which a submeter is provided with a fluorescent display tube, and numerals, characters, and the like displayed on the fluorescent display tube are reflected on a windshield provided on a main meter and displayed. Therefore, the driver reads numbers and characters reflected on the windshield of the main meter. For this reason, the sub meter is assembled to the main meter at a certain angle with respect to the windshield.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned vehicle instrument, since the submeter is mounted on the vehicle side in a state where the submeter is mounted on the main meter, the mounting workability is poor and a large mounting space is secured. There was a problem that necessity arises.

The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting structure for a vehicle instrument which has good mounting workability and requires a small mounting space.

[0005]

Can be engaged when assembled from a predetermined angle.
After that, it is provided rotatably with respect to the support portion. Follow
After the submeter engages the engaging portion with the supporting portion,
Rotate the holding part to the specified mounting position
Attached. At the mounting position of this submeter,
Section cannot be removed from the support section.
This engaging portion to only work with a take of others, such as detached from the support portion
Of the submeter during installation
Stabilize.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment showing a mounting structure of a vehicle instrument according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing a mounting structure of a vehicle instrument.

In this embodiment, a submeter 1, which is a vehicle instrument of the present invention, is mounted on a vehicle supported by a main meter 2 incorporated in an instrument panel (not shown) of a driver's cab.

The submeter 1 includes a fluorescent display tube 4 (a display unit of the present invention) for emitting and displaying information such as a vehicle speed and an engine speed inside a submeter case 3. The main meter 2 accommodates various valves 6, switches 7, a printed wiring board 8, and the like inside a main meter case 5, and is displayed on the surface of the main meter case 5 by the fluorescent display tube 4 of the sub meter 1. A windshield 9 for reflecting information such as numbers and letters is provided. Therefore, the driver reads information reflected on the windshield 9.

For this reason, the sub meter 1 is mounted on the vehicle at a certain angle with respect to the windshield 9 of the main meter 2 while being supported by the main meter 2.

The main meter 2 supporting the sub-meter 1 is provided with two sets of supporting portions at an upper position of the main meter case 5. As shown in FIG. 2, the support portion includes a pair of support plates 10 protruding from the driver-side surface of the main meter case 5, and a support rod 11 provided between the support plates 10. The support bar 11 is provided in a semicircular shape whose cross section is convex toward the driver.

Meanwhile, Submeter 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the hook 12 (the present invention for hooking the support rod 11
Of the submeter case 3 with the screw 13.
It is attached to the side of. In addition, a projection 14 facing inward is provided at the tip of the hook 12, and the distance a between the projection 14 and the inner surface of the hook 12 is set to be slightly larger than the sectional width b of the support rod 11. (See FIG. 3).

Next, the attachment of the submeter 1 to the vehicle will be described. Hook 12 and support rod 1 shown above
From the relationship between 1, Submeter 1, desorption particular position of the hook 12 relative to the support rod 11, i.e. the main meter 2
Ri Do to be held at a predetermined angle, is desorbed at a position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 positioned approximately parallel to the windscreen 9 it allows for.

After the hook 12 is engaged with the support rod 11, the sub-meter 1 is centered on the support rod 11 to a predetermined position (position indicated by a solid line in FIG. 1) as an attachment position.
Is rotated (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1) and fixed to the vehicle side.

In this mounting position, the projection 14 provided at the tip of the hook 12 is locked on the peripheral surface of the support rod 11,
Since the hook 12 cannot be attached to or detached from the support bar 11, the sub meter 1 supported by the main meter 2 does not fall off.

As described above, the sub-meter 1 can be attached and detached at a specific position with respect to the main meter 2 and cannot be attached and detached at a predetermined position to be attached to the vehicle. There is no need to mount it on the vehicle side in the assembled state. Therefore, unlike the related art, there is no need to secure a large mounting space, and the mounting workability is excellent.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the hook 12 shown in the first embodiment is bent in the opposite direction. Therefore, the attachment / detachment position (specific position) of the submeter 1 can be changed.

[0018]

[Effect of the invention] In this invention, the main meter
It depends on the relationship between the support part and the engagement part provided on the submeter.
The sub meter at a predetermined angle to the main meter.
Is possible, and cannot be attached or detached at the mounting position on the vehicle side.
Become. Therefore, as before, the sub meter is
It is not necessary to attach the meter to the vehicle with the
No. Also, fix the submeter to the vehicle side with screws etc.
In this case, the engagement part of the sub meter is
Because it is supported in a non-removable state,
The attitude of the submeter during operation is stabilized. This allows the sub
The workability of mounting the meter can be improved. Further, it is not necessary to secure an unnecessarily large mounting space.
