  However, in the on-dash type, the monitor is easy to see because it is located on the dashboard, but when it is not used, the view during driving is obstructed.

  On the other hand, with the in-dash type, when it is not used, it can be stored in the dashboard and the appearance is clear, but the size of the monitor is limited due to the convenience of storage. In addition, the audio control panel is often located directly under the air conditioning outlet. Especially in the car navigation system that is installed later, when the monitor is pulled out, the air conditioning outlet is blocked or the audio device is operated. However, there was a drawback that the monitor was in the way.

  Therefore, even if the monitor mounting support of the present invention is mounted in front of the audio device of the monitor like the in-dash type, the height of the monitor can be freely changed to facilitate the operation of the audio device. It is configured to maintain that posture.

A mounting support for a car navigation monitor according to the present invention includes a mounting stay member that is attached to an audio device whose front surface is bent upward, a groove having a U-shaped cross section, and a screw hole that is opened from the side toward the groove. A support member that is fixed to the front surface of the mounting stay member, a guide groove that is closed on both the left and right sides, and a plurality of engagement holes that are spaced apart from each other. A sliding member having a mounting bracket fixed thereto, and a guide plate fixed to the front surface of the support member and engaged with the guide groove of the sliding member from both sides to slidably support the sliding member. , provided click-stop mechanism of the ball by elastic force of the coil spring into engagement with the engagement hole of the sliding member by screwing a screw to power the ball and the coil spring into the screw hole of the supporting member Than is.

  The mounting stay member 3 may be fixed to the ceiling surface of the audio device storage port of the dashboard without being attached to the audio device 4.

  By using the mounting support of the present invention, it is possible to easily mount the monitor using an audio device stored in the storage space of the dashboard.

  In addition, a click stop mechanism can be provided to freely change the height of the monitor, and the posture can be maintained even if it receives vibration after the height change.

  Usually, if the position of the monitor is lowered so as not to block the air-conditioning outlet, the visual field of the driver is not obstructed, and when operating the audio device, the operation is facilitated by raising the position of the monitor.

(First embodiment)
As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 1 and the assembly view of FIG. 2, the monitor mounting support of the present invention includes a mounting stay member 3 that is mounted using an audio device 4 (see FIG. 3) and a slide that is fixed to the monitor 5. A click stop mechanism that includes a moving member 1 and a support member 2 that supports the sliding member 1 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction on the front surface of the mounting stay member 3, and stops the sliding member 1 at a desired height. I have.

  As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the mounting stay member 3 is formed by appropriately forming a step portion 31 according to the outer shape of the audio device 4 so as to fit in the gap between the audio device 4 and the storage space. is there. The rear end 34 of the mounting stay member 3 is bent downward to be fixed to the back side of the audio device 4 and has a hole 35 through which a screw is inserted, and the front surface 32 is bent upward to provide a support member. A screw hole 33 for fixing 2 is formed, and the support member 2 is fixed by a mounting screw 26.

  The support member 2 has a screw hole 21 formed in the lateral direction, a groove 22 having a U-shaped cross section formed in the vertical direction, and a screw hole 25 formed in the front surface.

  The sliding member 1 has the same width as the U-shaped groove 22 in the cross section of the support member 2, a plurality of engaging holes 11, guide grooves 12 formed on both the left and right sides and closed on both the upper and lower sides, Mounting bracket 13 to be fitted to the monitor 4 and a hole 14 to which the mounting bracket 13 is screwed. The mounting bracket 13 has grooves 15 on both sides for fitting with the grooves on the back cover of the monitor.

  Furthermore, it has two guide plates 23 that engage with the guide grooves 12 of the sliding member 1, and these guide plates 23 are rounded according to the shape of the support member 2. There are holes for screwing.

  Next, a procedure for assembling these members will be described. First, the support member 2 is screwed to the front surface 32 of the mounting stay member 3 with screws 26.

  Screws 17 are inserted into the holes 14 of the sliding member 1 and screwed into the screw holes 16 of the mounting bracket 13 to be fixed. The sliding member 1 to which the mounting bracket 13 is fixed is fitted into a groove 22 having a U-shaped cross section of the support member 2, and two guide plates 23 are inserted into the guide grooves 12 on both sides of the sliding member 1, and screws 24 are used. By fixing to the supporting member 2, the sliding member 1 is slidably supported.

  A ball 27 and a coil spring 28 are inserted into the two screw holes 21 of the support member 2 and a hexagonal screw 29 is screwed in. By rotating both hexagonal screws 29, the elasticity of the coil spring 4 pressed against the locking member such as the ball 27 and the sliding member 1 can be adjusted. Since both the hexagonal screws 29 are also elastically acted by the coil spring 28, the two hexagonal screws 29 are difficult to loosen. The assembly is completed as shown in the perspective view of FIG.

  When attaching to the vehicle body, the audio device is extracted from the dashboard storage space, and as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 3, the mounting stay member 3 is overlaid on the upper surface of the audio device 4, and the rear end 34 is bent downward. When the screw is inserted into the hole 35 and screwed, and then inserted into the storage space and fixed, the support member 2 supporting the sliding member 1 protrudes to the front of the dashboard.

  The monitor 5 can be mounted by inserting the fitting groove formed in the back cover of the monitor 5 into the mounting bracket 13 of the sliding member 1 from above.

  When the height of the attached monitor 5 is changed, it can be moved as indicated by two-dot chain lines 51 and 52 by moving the monitor 5 up and down by hand. Usually, it is lowered to the front of the audio device 4 as shown by a two-dot chain line 52 so as not to block the air-conditioning outlet 61, and when operating the audio device 4, it is raised as shown by a two-dot chain line 51. It's fine.

  Thus, when the monitor 5 is moved up and down, the engaging members 11 such as the balls 27 pressed by the coil spring 28 engage with the plurality of engaging holes 11 of the sliding member 1 and operate as a click stop mechanism. Even if it receives vibration after changing the height of the monitor, the height can be maintained.

  Since the upper and lower ends of the guide groove 12 of the sliding member 1 are closed and the movement range is limited by the guide plate 23, the movement range of the monitor 5 is also limited and never deviates.

  In the embodiment described above, the two screw holes 21 of the click stop mechanism are arranged so as to face each other, but only by a height that is half the pitch of the plurality of engagement holes 11 of the sliding member 1, If the two screw holes 21 are shifted and arranged, the click stop position can be doubled.
