Description

The present invention relates to a resin attachment member that can be attached to a first opening formed on a plate-like attachment object made of a material other than resin, and a storage box to which the attachment member is attached .

  Conventionally, in a storage or the like, a latch receiving portion that can be engaged with a latch claw provided on a door body is attached in a state where a resin member is fitted to an opening formed in a plate-like front portion of the storage body. The thing comprised by this is known (for example, refer patent document 1).

However, because the resin member is fitted and attached to the opening of the storage cabinet body, the latch receiving portion is destroyed or excessive force is applied when separating and discarding from the steel storage furniture body. Then, the latch receiving portion must be elastically deformed and removed from the opening, which is not preferable from the viewpoint of recycling, and when the resin member is damaged, the member cannot be easily replaced, There was a problem of lack of practicality. On the other hand, as a possible attachment member attached to the opening formed in the plate-like attachment object, a so-called clip type member is known. For example, the attachment member disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-38411 is an opening portion. In the state attached to the head, the pair of elastically deformable operation pieces provided on the head are picked in the direction of approaching to release the engagement state between the locking step and the edge of the opening, and the object to be attached It is configured to be removable from the object. However, the mounting member is exposed to the exterior in the mounted state, impairing the design, and it is easy to intuitively grasp the release method, and the operation piece can be easily accessed from anywhere. , The problem of inadvertent removal (removal by a third party) occurs, which also lacks practicality.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to solve the problem that the mounting member is carelessly removed.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  The mounting member 1 according to the present embodiment is, for example, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 (FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a part of the storage in an open state, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged front view of the main part of FIG. 1). As shown in FIG. 3, the latch claw R provided on the door body D functions as a latch receiving portion that can be engaged, and is attached to the first opening F1 formed on the front surface portion F made of sheet metal, which is an attachment object. It is possible.

  The mounting member 1 is shown in FIG. 3 (FIGS. 3A, 3B, 3C, and 3D are respectively a front view of the mounting member 1, an arrow view in the X direction in FIG. 3A, and a Y direction in FIG. As shown in the arrow view, (d) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line aa of (a), the second opening 11 that can be fitted into the first opening F1, and the second opening 11 A rearward projecting portion 12 projecting rearward from the edge portion 11a, and a collar portion 13 that abuts on the edge portion F1a of the first opening F1 in the attached state attached to the first opening F1 and restricts the further rearward movement. It is a resin-made integral molded product.

  The second opening portion 11 allows passage of the latch claw R and is indispensable for the attachment member 1 to function as a latch receiving portion. The opening size of the second opening 11 is set slightly smaller than the opening size of the first opening F1. In the present embodiment, the opening shape of the second opening portion 11 is a substantially rectangular shape in front view.

  The back protrusion 12 protrudes continuously from the three consecutive sides (the upper edge, the lower edge, and one side edge in FIG. 3) of the edge 11a of the second opening 11 toward the back. A projecting portion main body 121, a pair of opposing piece portions 122 that protrude further from the projecting portion main body 121 and face each other, a connecting portion 123 that connects the rear end region of these facing piece portions 122, and a connecting portion 123 The opposing piece portion 122 and the flange portion 13 extend from the central portion toward the second opening 11 side (front), and are configured by an elastic deformation portion 124 configured discontinuously through the slit S.

  Thus, the elastic deformation portion 124 is provided with an engagement portion 124a that can be engaged with the edge portion F1a of the first opening F1, and an engagement release portion 124b that can release the engagement state of the engagement portion 124a. ing.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the engaging portion 124 a has a claw-like shape that is provided at the distal end portion (front end portion) of the elastic deformation portion 124 and has a part protruding outward from the rearward protruding portion 12.

  On the other hand, the disengagement part 124b is provided at the front end part (front end part) of the elastic deformation part 124 and accepts an operation by the operation means so that, for example, a tool K such as a minus driver as the operation means can be caught. , It is constituted by a concave groove recessed deeper than other parts.

  Further, the mounting member 1 according to the present embodiment protrudes further outward from the back end portion of the back projecting portion 12 to a portion projecting from the one side edge of the second opening 11 toward the back. A hooking portion 125 that can be hooked on the edge F1a of the first opening F1 is provided. And in the state which attached the attachment member 1 to the 1st opening part F1, the edge part F1a of the 1st opening part F1 can be pinched | interposed between the hook part 125 and the collar part 13. FIG. Note that the hooking portion 125 and the engaging portion 124a and the disengaging portion 124b face each other.

  Next, a method and an action of attaching the attachment member 1 having such a configuration to the first opening F1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, from the front of the first opening F1, the hooking portion 125 of the mounting member 1 is hooked on the back surface side of the edge F1a of the first opening F1 (see FIG. 1A). Subsequently, the attachment member 1 is rotated using the hook portion 125 as a fulcrum, and the rear protrusion 12 is inserted into the first opening F1. At this time, the engaging portion 124a provided in the rearward projecting portion 12 is elastically retracted over time while contacting the edge portion F1a of the first opening F1 (see FIG. 5B), and the first opening F1. When it gets over the edge F1a, it elastically recovers and engages with the edge (see FIG. 3C). And the collar part 13 contact | abuts to the surface side of the edge part F1a of the 1st opening part F1, and the rotation operation | movement to the same direction of the attachment member 1 further is controlled. By the above procedure, the attachment member 1 can be attached in a state of being fitted into the first opening F1.

  In this attached state, the disengagement part 124b is positioned in the second opening 11 in a front view, and is positioned behind the front edge of the first opening F1 in a plan view. When the latch claw R passes through and engages in the second opening 11 of the mounting member 1, the movement of the door body D is restricted. In order to avoid a malfunction of the latch claw R, the elastic deformable portion 124 and the like are prevented from interfering with the latch claw R when the latch claw R passes through the second opening 11.

  On the other hand, when separating and discarding or replacing the attachment member 1, the attachment member 1 is removed from the first opening F1 by the following method.

  The disengagement part 124b positioned in the second opening 11 in the attached state is accessed from the second opening 11 using the tool K (see FIG. 5D). Then, when an operation force is applied to bend the elastic deformation portion 124 toward the center of the second opening 11 by the lever principle while hooking the tool K in the concave groove constituting the disengagement portion 124b, the elastic deformation portion is caused by this operation. As a result, the engagement state between the engagement portion 124a and the edge portion F1a of the first opening F1 is released (see FIG. 5E), and in this state, the attachment member 1 is moved to the front side. It is made to turn (refer to the figure (f)). Finally, the attachment member 1 can be removed from the first opening F1 by releasing the hooked state of the hook 125 with respect to the hook 125 and the edge F1a of the first opening F1.

  Thus, the attachment member 1 according to the present embodiment releases the engagement state of the engagement portion 124a that can be engaged with the edge portion F1a of the first opening F1 formed in the front surface portion F, and the engagement portion 124a. And a disengagement portion 124b that can be disengaged from the first opening F1 by performing a predetermined operation on the disengagement portion 124b. For this reason, the resin mounting member 1 can be separated from the front part F, which is a steel product, and discarded, which is preferable from the viewpoint of recycling. Further, the mounting member 1 itself can be replaced, which is excellent in practicality. Moreover, in a state where the attachment member 1 is attached to the first opening F1, the disengagement part 124b is positioned in the second opening 11 and at least deeper than the front edge of the first opening F1. For this reason, the disengagement part 124b is not exposed on the surface, and the design can be improved. In addition, since the disengagement portion 124b is accessible only from the second opening 11 essential for the function of the mounting member 1, it is not necessary to separately secure a dedicated access passage, and the mounting member 1 Can be effectively prevented from being inadvertently removed.

  In particular, since the engaging portion 124a and the disengaging portion 124b are integrally formed, the number of parts is reduced and the structure is simplified.

  Further, in the state of being attached to the first opening F1, the flange 13 that abuts from the surface side of the front face F that is an attachment object in the vicinity of the edge F1a of the first opening F1 and restricts the further movement to the back. Since the mounting member 1 is provided, a good mounting state of the mounting member 1 can be ensured, and both the engaging portion 124a and the disengaging portion 124b are integrated with the elastic deformation portion 124 provided in the back of the flange portion 13. Therefore, the operation on the disengagement portion 124b can be closely associated with the disengagement operation of the engagement portion 124a while simplifying the structure, and the disengagement operation can be made more stable. be able to.

  In particular, the engaging part 124a can be elastically engaged with the edge F1a of the first opening F1, and the disengaging part 124b accepts an operation by the tool K accessed from the second opening 11, Since the engagement state of the engagement portion 124a is released by elastically deforming the elastic deformation portion 124 by this operation, the attachment member 1 is prevented from being removed by a third party who does not normally have a tool. A person who knows the releasing method can easily and reliably release the engaged state of the engaging portion 124a using the tool K.
