That is, in the movable display unit 50 of the present embodiment, as described above, the holding engaging portion α _2.1 is formed by the holding convex portion and the holding engaging portion α _2.2 is formed as the holding concave portion. 7A and FIG. 8A, the holding projection (holding engaging portion α _2.1 ) is formed in the engaging direction (holding recess (holding member). direction parallel to the rotational center line L ₁ in the movable display unit 50 of the direction. the present embodiment holding projection relative engagement section alpha _2.2) (retaining engagement portion alpha _2.1) is engaged .) and a holding recess (holding engaging part α _2.2 ) with respect to the engaging direction. It has a triangular shape in a side view having a pair of inclined inner wall surfaces for engagement. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8A, the second display member 52 reaches the open position (position A), and the stopper contact portion α _1.1 and the stopper contact portion α _1.2 contact each other. When in contact, the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion α _2.1 ) is prevented from completely entering the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion α _2.2 ), and Of the pair of engaging outer wall surfaces in the convex portion (holding engaging portion α _2.1 ), the engaging outer wall surface facing the arrow _RA side is the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion α _2.2 ). of the pair of inner wall surfaces for engagement, so that the contact with the inner wall surface for engaging facing arrow R _B side.

As described above, the slide member 54 provided with the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion α _2.1 ) is urged downward (direction of arrow D in FIG. 8) by the engaging biasing member 53. Since it is biased, the slide member 54 provided with the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion α _2.1 ) is rotated from the slide member 54 provided with the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion α _2.2 ). As shown in FIG. 8A, an external force F _A having a component on the arrow _RA side is applied to the sliding contact member 56 and the second display member 52 provided integrally with the sliding contact member 56. Therefore, the stopper contact portion α _1.2 provided on the second display member 52 is pressed against the stopper contact portion α _1.1, and the stopper contact portion α _1.1 and the stopper contact portion α _1.1 are pressed. The part α _1.2 is kept in contact with it. In other words, the urging force of the engagement urging member 53 in the engagement direction D when the engagement urging member 53 is in the open position (A position) is the outer wall surface for engagement of the retaining projection (retaining engagement portion α _2.1 ). By the cam action of the engagement of the retaining recess (retaining engagement portion α _2.2 ) with the inner wall surface for engagement, the force is converted into an urging force (external force F _A ) that is not parallel to the engagement direction D, and Due to the parallel biasing force (external force F _A ), the stopper contact portion α _1.1 and the stopper contact portion α _1.2 are kept in contact with each other, and rattling of the second display member 52 is suppressed. It is like this.

By adopting the above configuration, when the second display member 52 is in the open position (position A), a part of the outer wall surface for engagement of the retaining projection (retaining engagement portion α _2.1 ) is formed. A part of the inner wall surface for engagement of the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion α _2.2 ) comes into contact with the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion α _2.1 ) and the holding concave portion (holding portion). As long as the engagement portion α _2.2 ) is in the engaged state, it is possible to suppress the rattling of the second display member 52. Therefore, the dimensions of the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion α _2.1 ) and the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion α _2.2 ) as well as the stopper contact portion α _1.1 and the stopper contact portion. The rattling of the second display member 52 in the open position (position A) can be suppressed even if the position of the portion α _1.2 is not set with high accuracy.

The rattling of the second display member 52 at the open position (A position) can be suppressed by the above principle. In the movable display unit 50 of the present embodiment, the second display member 52 is further moved to the open position (A position).

In other words, the urging force of the engagement urging member 53 in the engagement direction D when the engagement urging member 53 is in the open position (A position) is the outer wall surface for engagement of the retaining projection (retaining engagement portion α _2.1 ). And the retaining recess (retaining engaging portion α _2.2 ) engages with the inner wall surface for engagement, so that the biasing force (external force F _A ′) that is not parallel to the engaging direction D is equal to the external force F _A. It is generated as a reaction force, and this biasing force (external force F _A ') maintains the state in which the slide member rotation regulating contact portion α _3.1 and the slide member rotation regulating contact portion α _3.2 are in contact with each other. The rattling of the slide member 54 inside the guide member 55 is suppressed.

In this regard, in the movable display unit 50 of the present embodiment, the size of the stopper contact portion β _1.1 and the stopper contact portion β _1.2 on the B position side and the stopper are adopted by adopting the following configuration. The rattling of the second display member 52 in the closed position (position B) is suppressed without requiring high accuracy in the positions where the contact portion β _1.1 for stopper and the contact portion β _1.2 for stopper are provided. ing.

That is, in the movable display unit 50 of the present embodiment, as described above, the holding engaging portion β _2.1 is configured by the holding convex portion and the holding engaging portion β _2.2 is held. As shown in FIGS. 7(b) and 8(b), the holding projection (holding engaging portion β _2.1 ) is formed by a recess, and a pair of engaging members are inclined with respect to the engaging direction. The holding recess (holding engaging portion β _2.2 ) has a pair of engaging inner wall surfaces that are inclined with respect to the engaging direction. The side view has a triangular shape. In addition, as shown in FIG. 8B, the second display member 52 reaches the closed position (position B), and the stopper contact portion β _1.1 and the stopper contact portion β _1.2 come into contact with each other. When in contact, the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion β _2.1 ) is prevented from completely entering the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion β _2.2 ), and of the pair of the engaging outer wall surface of the protrusion (holding engagement portion beta _2.1), engaging the outer wall surface facing arrow R _B side, the supporting recessed portions (retaining engagement portion beta _2.2) Of the pair of inner wall surfaces for engagement, the inner wall surfaces for engagement facing the arrow _RA side are brought into contact with each other.

As described above, the slide member 54 provided with the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion β _2.1 ) is urged downward (direction of arrow D in FIG. 8) by the engaging biasing member 53. Since the slide member 54 is biased, the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion β _2.1 ) is provided to the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion β _2.2 ) at the time of rotation. As shown in FIG. 8B, an external force F _B having a component on the arrow R _B side is applied to the sliding contact member 56 and the second display member 52 provided integrally with the sliding contact member 56. Therefore, stopper abutment beta _1.2 provided on the second display member 52 is pressed against the stopper abutment beta _1.1, abutting abutment beta _1.1 and stopper Stopper The part β _1.2 is kept in contact with it. In other words, the urging force in the engagement direction D by the urging member for engagement 53 at the closed position (B position) is the outer wall surface for engagement of the retaining projection (retaining engagement portion β _2.1 ). And a retaining concave portion (retaining engaging portion β _2.2 ) engages with the inner wall surface for engagement to generate a cam action, which is converted into a biasing force (external force F _B ) that is non-parallel to the engaging direction D. Due to the parallel biasing force (external force F _B ), the stopper contact portion β _1.1 and the stopper contact portion β _1.2 are kept in contact with each other, and rattling of the second display member 52 is suppressed. It is like this.

By adopting the above configuration, when the second display member 52 is in the closed position (position B), a part of the engaging outer wall surface of the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion β _2.1 ) is formed. A part of the inner wall surface for engagement of the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion β _2.2 ) comes into contact with the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion β _2.1 ) and the holding concave portion (for holding). As long as the engagement portion β _2.2 ) is in the engaged state, it is possible to suppress the rattling of the second display member 52. Therefore, the dimensions of the holding convex portion (holding engaging portion β _2.1 ) and the holding concave portion (holding engaging portion β _2.2 ) as well as the stopper abutting portion β _1.1 and the stopper abutting portion. The rattling of the second display member 52 at the closed position (position B) can be suppressed even if the position of the portion β _1.2 is not set with high accuracy.

The rattling of the second display member 52 in the closed position (B position) is suppressed by the above-described principle. In the movable display unit 50 of the present embodiment, the second display member 53 is further moved to the closed position (B position). It is also possible to suppress rattling between the slide member 54 and the guide member 55 at a certain time.

That is, in the movable display unit 50 of the present embodiment, the play (backlash) that occurs between the rotation regulating convex portion 54b provided on the slide member 54 and the rotation regulating concave portion 55b provided on the guide member 55. It has already been described that the rattling between the slide member 54 and the guide member 55 due to the phenomenon is suppressed when the second display member 52 is in the open position (position A). As described above, a state similar to this is exhibited even when the second display member 52 is in the closed position (position B).

That is, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the second display member 52 is in the closed position (position B), the urging force of the engagement urging member 53 in the engagement direction D causes the retention projection (retention). Non-parallel to the engagement direction D by the cam action of the engagement outer wall surface of the engagement engagement portion β _2.1 ) and the engagement inner wall surface of the retaining recess (retention engagement portion β _2.2 ) where is converted to energizing force Do (external force F _B), the sliding member 54 at this time, the reaction force of the external force F _B (force F _B ') acts. The external force F _{B 'has} a component of arrow R _A side. Therefore, when the second display member 52 is in the closed position (position B), the slide member 54 is indicated by an arrow R _{A about} the rotation center line L ₁ inside the guide member 55 (FIG. 9B). Try to rotate in the direction. That is, by the external force F _B ′ (FIG. 8B) having the component on the arrow _RA side, the slide member rotation restricting contact portion β _3.1 of the slide member 54 is moved as shown in FIG. 9B. The guide member 55 is pressed against the slide member rotation restricting contact portion β _3.2, and the pressed state is maintained. In other words, the urging force in the engagement direction D by the urging member for engagement 53 at the closed position (B position) is the outer wall surface for engagement of the retaining projection (retaining engagement portion β _2.1 ). And the retaining recess (retaining engaging portion β _2.2 ) engages with the inner wall surface for engagement, so that the urging force (external force F _B ′) non-parallel to the engaging direction D becomes equal to the external force F _B. It is generated as a reaction force, and this biasing force (external force F _B ') keeps the slide member rotation regulating contact portion β _3.1 and the slide member rotation regulating contact portion β _{3.2 in} contact with each other. The rattling of the slide member 54 inside the guide member 55 is suppressed.

2.4 Others In the above description, the holding engaging portion α _2.1 is the convex portion (holding convex portion), the holding engaging portion α _2.2 is the concave portion (holding concave portion), and the holding engaging portion β is The movable display unit 50 of the present embodiment has been described by taking the case where _2.1 is a convex portion (holding convex portion) and the holding engagement portion β _2.2 is a concave portion (holding concave portion) as an example. Is a concave-convex relationship between the holding engaging portion α _2.1 and the holding engaging portion α _2.2, and a concave-convex relationship between the holding engaging portion β _2.1 and the holding engaging portion β _2.2. It is possible to suppress the rattling of the second display member 52 with respect to the first display member 51 and the rattling of the slide member 54 with respect to the guide member 55 even when they are reversed.
