2. Description of the Related Art Some cassette boxes and the like of tape recorders have, for example, a transparent window formed therein so that the tape winding amount can be grasped from the outside. The see-through window is formed by forming a window in the cassette box and attaching a transparent mounting member to the window.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a conventional mechanism for mounting a transparent window of a cassette box. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a cassette box which is a member to be mounted, and a window 2 is formed on the front side of the cassette box 1. A rib 20 is formed on the lower side and the left side of the window 2.

[0004] The cassette box 1 has a holder 3 for accommodating a cassette (not shown), and shafts 4 on the lower left and right sides of the holder 3. Then, the cassette box 1 is tilted by its shaft 4 being connected to a tape recorder cabinet (not shown).

[0005] Reference numeral 5 denotes a window body as an attachment member, and the window body 5 is formed of a transparent member. The window body 5 is provided with a silk paste (a paste applied by silk screen printing) or the like outside of a portion corresponding to the window portion 2 of the cassette box 1 (a portion indicated by a broken line in FIG. 3). Then, the window body 5 should be made so that the portion with the silk paste is not visible from the outside.
Black or the like is printed on the surface or the sticking surface of the device.

In the example of FIG. 3, in order to attach the window body 5 to the window 2 of the cassette box 1, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Positioning is carried out along the rib 20 of the window part 2 of FIG. Thereafter, the window body 5 is securely fixed to the cassette box 1 by a heat press or the like. In this mounting method, as described above, the silk paste is applied after black silk printing is performed so that the portion of the silk paste for attaching the window body 5 to the cassette box 1 is not visible from the outside.
Therefore, the work of applying a black glue or the like to the window body 5 and the work of applying a silk glue are required, so that the production of the window body 5 is troublesome. The window body 5 from which the mount 30 has been peeled off
Is positioned along the ribs 20 and then mounted by a heat press or the like.

In order to quickly attach the window body 5 to the window portion 2 of the cassette box 1, an attachment member attaching mechanism shown in FIG. 4 has been proposed. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 40 denotes a locking claw, and the locking claw 40 is formed on the window body 5. The cassette box 1 has an engagement hole 42 at a position corresponding to the locking claw 40.

The window 5 has a projection 41 for positioning.
Are formed. The cassette box 1 has a protrusion 41
An engagement hole 43 is formed in a portion corresponding to. In addition,
Other configurations are the same as those in the example of FIG.

The window 5 can be mounted on the window 2 of the cassette box 1 by inserting the locking claw 40 into the engaging hole 42. In addition, the protrusion 41 is formed by the engagement claw 40 with the engagement hole 4.

Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 4, the window body 5 can be mounted on the window 2 of the cassette box 1 only by inserting the locking claw 40 into the engaging hole 42, and the mounting can be performed quickly. it can.

[0011]

By the way, in the example of FIG. 4, the locking claws 40 and the like can be seen depending on the position where the window 5 is viewed. In addition, it is necessary to perform operations such as printing black or the like on the surface of the window body 5 outside the window portion 2, and the manufacture of the window body 5 is troublesome.

In order to eliminate this printing step, a mold for molding the window body 5 is subjected to a matte-like blast on a portion of the molded window body 5 outside the window 2. Work has been done. In this case, there is a disadvantage that the mold cost is increased because the mold is worked.

[0013] Therefore, the present invention aims at facilitating the work of mounting a mounting member for forming a see-through window by mounting a transparent mounting member on a window portion of a member to be mounted and easily manufacturing the mounting member. And

[0014]

According to the present invention, in a mounting mechanism of a mounting member in which a transparent mounting member is mounted on a window of a mounted member to form a see-through window, the mounting member does not face the window of the mounted member. A locking portion is formed at the portion, an engaging portion is formed at a portion corresponding to the locking portion of the mounting member, and a hinge portion is formed at a portion not facing the window, and the mounting member is formed of the mounted member. The connector is inserted into the window of the mounted member while being restricted by the hinge portion from the back side, so that the engaging portion of the mounted member is locked by the locking portion of the mounted member.

[0015]

In order to attach the window member 5 as an attachment member to the window portion 2 of the cassette box 1 as a member to be attached, the window member 5 is attached to the window portion 2 while being restricted by the hinge 6 from the back side of the cassette box 1. insert. Then, the engaging portions 6 a and 7 engage with the locking portions 9 and 10 to lock the window body 5 to the window portion 2. As a result, the window 5 is attached to the window 2 of the cassette box 1. The window body 5 can be attached to the window part 2 of the cassette box 1 only by inserting the window body 5 while being restricted by the hinge part 6, whereby the engaging parts 6a, 7 and the locking parts 9, 10 are engaged. Therefore, the mounting can be performed quickly and reliably. Further, since the engaging portions 6a and 7 are formed at portions not facing the window portion 2, the window portion 2 of the window
It is not necessary to print black or the like on the outside of the portion corresponding to, and the window body 5 can be easily manufactured.
