Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a chassis such as a VTR and the like, and can be commonly used for models having different upper covers such as the VTR.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a VTR or the like, the height of an upper cover may differ depending on the model. FIG. 2 (a)
As shown in (b), the upper covers 1a, 1b
Is usually formed of a relatively thin plate and has a low strength. For this reason, the upper covers 1a and 1b are usually configured to wrap the chassis 2a and 2b.
The upper cover is provided with side plates 3a, 3 of chassis 2a, 2b.
b, 4a, 4b.

[0003]

Therefore, when manufacturing a VTR, it was necessary to prepare chassis 2a, 2b having different heights for upper covers 1a, 1b having different heights. This, of course, requires a new chassis mold, which adds cost. by the way,
In order to support the upper cover as described above, only the supporting portion of the chassis needs to have a height corresponding to the upper cover.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above, and has as its object to provide a chassis such as a VTR which can change a portion supporting the upper cover to a height suitable for the upper cover. is there.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a chassis such as a VTR of the present invention is a chassis made of a flexible material in which a side plate is integrally formed. In what supports the upper cover by the rim,
The upper edge of the side plate is provided with a notch that is open at the top, and a substantially central portion of the bottom of the notch is provided with a fitting notch that is open at the top, and the fitting notch and the notch are provided. A base of a bent member integrally formed with the chassis is fixed integrally with the side edge portion at the bottom of the bent portion, and a fitting portion capable of fitting with the fitting cutout is provided at a tip of the bent portion. The bent part is provided with a constricted part between the base and the base and the fitting part, and the fitting part of the bent part has the fitting notch and the bottom part at the bottom of the notch. When the bent part is located between the other side edge part and the bent part, the bent part does not exceed the upper edge of the side plate, and the fitting part is fitted into the fitting notch, thereby forming the bent part. Is bent at the constricted portion so as to protrude above the upper edge of the side plate. It is an feature.

[0006]

In a chassis such as a VTR constructed as described above, the fitting portion of the bent member is located between the fitting notch at the bottom of the notch and the other side edge at the bottom. Thereby, since the bent member does not exceed the upper edge of the side plate, it is possible to support the upper cover having a relatively low height. Further, by fitting the fitting portion into the fitting notch, the bending member is bent at the constricted portion and protrudes above the upper edge of the side plate to support the upper cover having a relatively high height. Becomes possible.
Since the bend is connected to the side plate through a constricted portion of the base, it is weak against a force in a direction penetrating the plate surface of the side plate, but the bend is easily bent at two places as described above. It is a fitting portion between the constricted portion and the fitting notch, and even if only these three points are bent, it is extremely resistant to downward force and can sufficiently support the upper cover.

[0007]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a chassis, of which only one side plate 3 is shown. The side plate 3 is formed integrally with the chassis 2 made of a flexible material, for example, a resin material, and supports an upper cover (not shown) by its upper edge. The upper edge of the side plate 3 is provided with cutouts 5a and 5b which are open at the top.
Fitting notches 7a and 7b whose upper parts are opened are provided at substantially the center of the parts a and 6b. This fitting notch 7a,
The bases 10a and 10b of the bent members 9a and 9b formed integrally with the chassis 2 are integrally fixed between the base 7b and the side edges 8a and 8b at the bottoms 6a and 6b of the cutouts 5a and 5b. The fitting portions 11a, 11b which can be fitted to the fitting notches 7a, 7b are provided at the tips of these bent members 9a, 9b.
Are formed. Then, the bases 10a and 10b of the bent members 9a and 9b and the bases 10a and 10b,
Constrictions 12a, 12b, 13a, 13b are provided between 10b and the fitting portions 11a, 11b, respectively. In the above description, only one side plate 3 has been described, but the other side plate (not shown) has the same configuration as the side plate 3.

The fitting portions 11a, 1 of the bent members 9a, 9b
1b, the fitting notches 7a, 7b at the bottoms 6a, 6b of the notches 5a, 5b and the other side edges 14a, 14b at these bottoms 6a, 6b as shown in FIG.
And the bent members 9a, 9b
Does not exceed the upper edge of the side plate 3. The fitting portions 11a and 11b are fitted into the fitting notches 7a and 7b as shown in FIG.
9b is bent at the constrictions 12a, 12b, 13a and 13b and protrudes above the upper edge of the side plate 3.

In the chassis 2 such as a VTR constructed as described above, the fitting portions 11a and 11b of the bent members 9a and 9b are used.
With the fitting notches 7a, 7b and the other side edges 14a, 14
b, the bent members 9a, 9
Since b does not exceed the upper edge of the side plate 3, it is possible to support the upper cover having a relatively low height.
Further, the fitting portions 11a, 11b are connected to the fitting notches 7a,
7b, the bent members 9a and 9b protrude above the upper edge of the side plate 3 and can support an upper cover having a relatively high height. The bent members 9a and 9b are provided with constricted portions 12a and 1 of bases 10a and 10b.
Since it is connected to the side plate 3 through the side plate 2b, it is weak against a force penetrating the plate surface of the side plate, but these bent members 9
The places where a and 9b are easily bent are the fitting portions between the two constricted portions 12a, 12b, 13a and 13b and the fitting notches 7a and 7b, and only these three points bend. As a result, it is extremely resistant to downward force and can sufficiently support the upper cover.

[0010]

According to the chassis of the present invention, the portion supporting the upper cover can be changed to a height suitable for the upper cover as described above.
