"Second decoration unit configuration"

18 to 35 show the configuration of the second decoration unit 40.
The second decoration unit 40 has a structure in which a decoration logo representing a logo according to the model is decorated with light. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the second decoration unit 40 is attached to and detached from the region above the through hole 13 of the frame portion 12. It is attached as possible.

  In the present embodiment, the second decoration unit 40 includes a base member 41, a lens member 42, a diffusion sheet 43, a gradation sheet 44, an LED substrate 45, and a substrate attachment member 46.

  The base member 41 is provided with a synthetic resin material in a predetermined shape, for example, in this embodiment, the outer portion 41a along the upper region of the through hole 13 of the frame portion 12, the back surface portion 41b, and the back surface portion 41b. It is comprised from the opening part 41c for fitting the lens member 42. FIG.

  At predetermined positions on the left and right side surfaces of the outer portion 41a, there are substantially arrowhead-shaped elastic locking pieces 41d and 41d which can be locked with predetermined locking holes 12a and 12a provided in the frame portion 12 with elastic locking pieces. The tips 41e, 41e are projected so as to face the depth direction.

  The back surface portion 41b is formed in an inclined shape so that the lower end side is positioned in the depth direction with respect to the upper end side, and the front surface region excluding the region where the opening portion 41c is disposed is formed in a step shape.

The opening 41c is opened in a shape that matches the shape of the lens member 42, and has a structure that bulges forward at a predetermined position on the front surface of the back surface portion 41b.
In this embodiment, the opening 41c has an opening 410c having a character shape of "TACO" and "SLOT", and an opening 411c having a symbol shape expressing "octopus" between the character openings 410c and 410c. It has become.

Moreover, the opening 411c expressing “octopus” is formed substantially vertically from the upper end to the lower end.

The reason why the opening 41c has a shape that bulges forward is to give the decoration such that the letters "TACO" and "SLOT" and the symbol part of "Tako" are raised forward by bulging forward. This is to solve the problems of the rear space when the lens member 42 is fitted, the sink and warpage at the time of molding, and the strength of each member.
That is, when the opening 41c does not bulge forward, the thickness of the lens member 42 must be reduced. In this case, a certain thickness is required to ensure the shape of the opening 41c. Must be secured. Then, for example, it becomes necessary to cut out a part between “T” and “A” of “TACO” of the lens member 42, and the lens member 42 has problems of sink marks, warpage, and strength. Therefore, by bulging the opening 41c forward, it is possible to ensure the shape of the opening, as well as to secure the thickness of the lens member 42, and to solve the problems of strength improvement and sinking and warping. .

The lens member 42 is formed in a predetermined shape from a resin material having translucency. In this embodiment, the character portion 42a of "TACO", the character portion 42b of "SLOT", and the space between the characters 42a and 42b. And the symbol portion 42c of “octopus” shown in FIG.

The lens member 42 can be subjected to predetermined known diffusion processing such as predetermined light diffusion processing, for example, diamond cutting processing or embossing processing. As long as it is a resin material having translucency, a colorless and transparent material as well as a colored and transparent material can be employed.

  The diffusion sheet 43 is formed in a thin shape that is substantially the same as the front view shape of the lens member 42 so that light from an LED (not shown) arranged on the LED substrate 45 is evenly irradiated onto the lens member 42. Thus, the LED 43 can be prevented from being visually recognized by the sheet 43, and the decoration effect can be improved.

  The gradation sheet 44 can exhibit an effect of giving various colors by one light source by increasing the color of a part of the sheet, for example.

  The diffusion sheet 43 and the gradation sheet 44 corresponding to “TACO” and “SLOT” are provided with elastic engagement pieces 43 a and 44 a at the outer ends, respectively. The engagement pieces 43 a and 44 a are outside the lens member 42. Elasticity is obtained by engaging the engagement holes 42f and 42f provided at the end portions with elasticity and projecting the inner end portions of the diffusion sheet 43 and the gradation sheet 44 at predetermined positions on the inner surface of the front surface portion 42d of the lens member 42. The engagement pieces 42g and 42g are elastically engaged and accommodated in the concave space 42h.
