In the cover member mounting structure as described above, the base is first fixed to the left and right side surfaces of the top plate by the bolts, and then the side covers are attached to the base. As described above, the work is divided into two stages, and the mounting of the base is done with multiple bolts, so when tightening the bolts, it is a relatively difficult work while pushing the base to the left and right side surfaces, and at the same time, as a whole. The amount of work itself tended to increase. In addition, even if the base is bolted at a specified pitch, it is difficult for the long base to stick to the left and right sides of the top plate over the entire length, and there is a slight gap between the base and the left and right sides. May occur. An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention takes the following measures. That is, the mounting structure of the covering member according to the present invention, on the side surface of the plate body, a covering member having a U-shaped cross section and substantially the same width as the thickness of the plate body, via the fastening means between the inner side surface thereof, The end face of the outer peripheral wall that surrounds the inner surface of the covering member is attached to the plate body in a close contact state, and the fastening means includes a plurality of through holes provided on the side surface of the plate body and the transparent member on the inner side surface of the covering member. It is composed of a plurality of protrusions provided at positions corresponding to the holes, and each protrusion has substantially the same width dimension as the through hole.
The through hole is formed on at least one of the outer surfaces facing the width direction.
Has a plurality of ridges extending in the direction of being pushed into,
It is characterized in that the covering member is attached to the plate body by being press-fitted into the corresponding through holes.

In order to make the mounting state of the covering member stronger, the projection has a press-contact portion which projects in only one direction at the end thereof, and the press-contact portion is inserted from the through hole so that the cover member has the above-mentioned one side. The surface of the press contact portion facing the inner side surface may be in pressure contact with the inner side surface of the side surface of the plate body when moved in the direction side.

[0006]

With this structure, the plurality of projections provided on the inner side surface of the covering member are pushed into the plurality of through holes provided on the side surface of the plate member to engage with each other, thereby covering the covering member. The member is attached to the plate. That is, the covering member has a projection provided on the covering member, and a through hole provided on the side surface of the plate body.
The covering member is attached while pressing the central portion of the covering member inward. At this time, the protrusion extends on the outer surface in the pushing direction.
Since it has multiple ridges, the friction with the through hole is minimized.
It is possible to make the projection smoothly push-in engagement
