The positioning hole 32 is formed at the same position regardless of the model. Further, the first side surface 31 is formed with a vehicle attachment portion 34 having a different shape for each model and having an attachment hole portion 33 for attaching the housing 1 to the vehicle. Also, the second side surface 35 of the bracket 3 facing the chassis 2 is positioned at a position and number (at least two or more) uniquely defined for the combination of the bracket 3 and the panel 4 corresponding thereto. A hole (engagement portion) 36 is formed.

The chassis 2 has through holes 21 through which the positioning projections 41 are inserted at all positions facing the positioning holes 36 of the bracket 3 and the positioning projections 41 of the panel 4 corresponding to each model. ing. In addition, this through-hole part 21 is provided at least 3 or more places, and it can respond to many models, so that there are many numbers.
Further, a positioning projection (engagement) that engages with the positioning hole 36 of the bracket 3 corresponding to the same model via the through hole 21 of the chassis 2 on the back surface of the panel 4 (the surface facing the chassis 2). Part) 41 is formed to protrude to the chassis 2 side. The positioning projection 41 is configured to be engageable with the positioning hole 36 of the bracket 3 through the through hole 21 of the chassis 2.

Here, as an example showing the difference in the shapes of the bracket 3 and the panel 4 for each model, in FIG. 1, the vehicle mounting portion 34 of the bracket 3 is provided at the lower end of the first side surface 31, and the panel 4 is configured in a substantially rectangular shape. Has been. And the positioning hole part 36 of the bracket 3 is provided in two diagonally, and the positioning projection part 41 of the panel 4 is similarly provided in the position (two diagonally) which opposes the positioning hole part 36 of each bracket 3, respectively. ing.
On the other hand, in FIG. 3, the vehicle mounting portion 34 of the bracket 3 is provided at the upper end of the first side surface 31, and the panel 4 is configured in a slightly rounded shape. And the positioning hole part 36 of the bracket 3 is provided in two places up and down, and the positioning projection part 41 of the panel 4 is similarly provided in the position (two places up and down) facing the positioning hole part 36 of each bracket 3, respectively. ing.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the through-hole portion 21 of the chassis 2 is provided in a position / shape where both the positioning projection 41 in FIG. 1 and the positioning projection 41 in FIG. 3 can be inserted.

Next, attachment of the bracket 3 and the panel 4 to the housing 1 having the chassis 2 in the bracket and panel attachment structure configured as described above will be described.
When attaching the bracket 3 and the panel 4 having different combinations for each model to the chassis 1 that is commonly used regardless of the model, first, the positioning hole portion 32 of the bracket 3 is positioned on the positioning hole on one side surface of the casing 1. The bracket 3 is attached to the housing 1 by using the fastening member 5 such as a screw so that the positioning hole 36 of the bracket 3 is aligned with the corresponding through hole 21 of the chassis 2.

Here, since the through holes 21 are provided in the chassis 2 in advance at all positions opposed to the positioning holes 36 provided in the bracket 3 corresponding to each model, the positioning holes 36 of the bracket 3 are provided. Any one of the through-hole portions 21 is matched with the above.
