As shown in these figures, a slit-shaped locking piece holding portion 7 is formed at a connection portion between the upper end surface 6 of the fixture 4 and the fixed surface 5. Further, two circular fixing holes 9 are formed in the holding member fixing portion 8 parallel to the fixing surface 5, and a circular fixing hole 11 is also formed in the center of the lower end surface 10.

  As shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. 8, the shielding plate 3 is a vertically long rectangular shape having a size capable of shielding the opening 2, and is folded right and left and downward so as to become the side surfaces of the housing 1. The bent pieces 12 and 13 are formed. A tongue-shaped locking piece 14 is projected from an end of the lower bent piece 13.

  Further, two inner holding members 15 are attached to the upper end portion of the shielding plate 3. These inner holding members 15 can be moved out and in from the right side (inside of the housing 1) in FIG. For this reason, the locking piece 14 of the shielding plate 3 is inserted into the locking hole 7 of the lower mounting tool 4, and the inner holding member 15 is pushed outward so that the two circular fixing holes of the upper mounting tool 4. 9, the shield plate 3 is fixed to the upper and lower attachments 4 as shown in FIG. 3, and the opening 2 can be closed from the inside.

  At the upper end portion of the shield plate 3 and at a position slightly lower than the inner holding member 15, a slide fitting 16 slidable in a vertical direction is attached. The sliding bracket 16 is a metal plate having an inverted L-shaped cross section. An outer holding member 17 is attached to an upper surface thereof, and a long hole 18 is formed in a vertical surface. The sliding bracket 16 is provided in a space between the outwardly bent pieces 12 of the shielding plate 3. For this reason, when the outer holding member 17 is raised together with the slide fitting 16 from the side of the housing adjacent to the opening 2 and is fixed to the fixing hole 11 of the fixture 4, the shielding plate 3 can be fixed from the outside. The slide fitting 16 can be slid in parallel in the vertical direction by providing a screw 19 serving as a slide fitting holding member in the elongated hole 18. Furthermore, even if the outer holding member 17 is removed from the fixing hole 11 of the fixture 4, it is possible to prevent the outer holding member 17 from dropping off the shielding plate 3. If the left and right sides of the sliding bracket 16 are formed in contact with the bent pieces 12, 12, a function as a guide is also exerted, and more stable sliding in the vertical direction is possible.

  In this embodiment, a retractable latch (a small grommet made of resin) is used as the inner holding member 15 and the outer holding member 17, but ordinary screws may be used. However, the embodiment has advantages that it can be operated without tools and that the shielding plate 3 can be fixed in a minimum necessary space.
