TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a push latch mounting structure for locking a lid, and more particularly to a push latch mounting structure that enables a push latch to be used with a narrow lid.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A conventional push latch mounting structure will be described with reference to FIG. The push latch 4 shown in the figure is fixed to the panel 2, and a swingable locking portion 4 a locks a striker 1 a provided on the lid 1 on a plunger 4 b. The operation of the push latch 4 will be described with reference to FIG. The plunger 4b can move linearly, and supports the locking portion 4a in a swingable manner.
[0003]
FIG. 4A shows the unlocked state, in which the plunger 4b projects to the position shown in the figure due to the elasticity of the spring, and the locking portion 4a is inclined upward. In this state, the striker 1a can be removed. When the striker is pushed from the position shown in FIG. 4 (a) to the position shown in FIG. 4 (c), the push latch 4 is locked, and the plunger 4b projects to the position shown in FIG. 4 (b) to lock the striker 1a. .
[0004]
When the striker is pushed from the locked state shown in FIG. 4B to the position shown in FIG. 4C, the push latch is unlocked, the plunger 4b projects to the position shown in FIG. The striker 1a can be removed by pivoting upward.
[0005]
Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the lid 1 is arranged perpendicularly to the push latch mounting central axis. To ensure the operation of the up Sshuratchi 4 described in Figure 4, the pivot center (shaft 3) of the lid 1 as shown in FIG. 3 should be placed on the center line narrowing added. In addition, the minimum value of the distance a between the center of rotation and the central axis for attaching the push latch is determined to be, for example, 20 mm. In this case, the width of the lid 1 cannot be made smaller than 23 mm. That is, there is a limitation that the width of the lid cannot be made smaller than a predetermined dimension by the push latch.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a push latch mounting structure capable of alleviating the limitation on the width of a lid by a push latch.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the push latch mounting structure of the present invention, in a state where the striker provided on the lid in an inclined state is locked to a locking portion which is tiltably mounted on the plunger of the push latch, the lid surface is pushed in the direction in which the plunger is pushed by the striker. It is characterized by being inclined by a predetermined angle to be larger than 90 °.
[0008]
Further, in the push latch mounting structure, the lid surface is inclined so that the plunger is larger than 90 ° by 20 ° or more with respect to a direction in which the plunger is pushed by the striker in a state where the striker provided on the lid is locked by the push latch. It is.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
A push latch mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a view showing basic dimensions of a push latch mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a push latch 4 similar to that described in the conventional example is used. Note that members having the same functions as those shown in the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0010]
As shown in the figure, the surface of the lid 1 was inclined by θ = 20 ° with respect to the center line of the push latch. As a result, the width B of the lid could be set to 20.9 mm. The effect of the present invention becomes remarkable when the angle at which the holding center line is inclined is set to 20 ° or more. FIG. 2 shows the actual shape of each member in the push latch mounting structure to which the present invention is applied.
[0011]
【The invention's effect】
According to the push latch mounting structure of the present invention, the push latch can be used for a lid having a small width.
[0012]
Further, as is apparent from FIG. 1, since the upper portion of the push latch is empty, the push latch can be used even when there is an obstacle in this portion.
[Brief description of the drawings]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing basic dimensions of a push latch mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a push latch mounting structure according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a view showing basic dimensions of a conventional push latch mounting structure.
FIG. 4 is a side view for explaining the operation of the push latch.

Claims (2)

In a state where the striker provided on the lid in an inclined state is locked to a locking portion which is tiltably attached to the plunger of the push latch, the lid surface is larger than 90 ° by a predetermined angle with respect to the direction in which the plunger is pushed by the striker. A push latch mounting structure, characterized in that the push latch is inclined. A push latch mounting structure, wherein the lid surface is tilted so that it is larger than 90 ° or more than 20 ° with respect to the direction in which the plunger is pushed in by the striker while the striker provided on the lid is locked by the push latch.
