Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to a finisher used for decoration of the interior of a vehicle.

(b) Technical background and problems Conventional finishes of this type include, for example, Figures 1 and 2 (see Utility Model Application Publication No. 138136/1983).
There is something like this.

This first figure is a front view of the instrument, and the second figure is a front view of the instrument.
The figure shows a vertical cross-sectional view omitting a high-level equalizer to be described later, and shows an audio off initializer 101.
is attached to the instrument panel 103 and covers the front surface of an audio tuner 105 as an audio device. Also, audio off initializer 1
01 is the audio off initializer 101.
A separate frame body 107 is attached with screws (not shown), etc., and depending on the vehicle type, as shown in FIG. 1, the heavy equalizer 109 can be housed, or as shown in FIG. It is now possible to use it as a storage container without putting it inside.
In addition, 111 in the figure is a heater control, 11
3 is an insufficiency.

However, in the conventional structure described above, since the audio initiator 101 and the frame 107 are separate bodies, they must be removed separately, which complicates component assembly and component management.
If 07 is used as a storage space and its illumination is required, a light source separate from the light source for illuminating the audio tuner 105 must be provided, which may make component assembly and component management increasingly complicated. It was hot.

(c) Purpose of the invention This invention was devised in view of the above problems, and the purpose is to provide a finisher that can illuminate the inside of the frame while reducing the complexity of parts management and parts assembly. shall be.

(d) Structure of the device In order to achieve the above object, this device integrally molds an audio initiator that covers the front surface of the audio device and a frame for a storage case using a light-transmitting resin. A light source body is provided which transmits light along the shutter and the frame body and is used for both the illumination for the audio device and the illumination for the frame body.

(E) Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of this invention will be described in detail based on FIGS. 3 to 5.

What is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is one embodiment, and FIG. 3 shows a sectional view similar to FIG. 2.

Audio tuner 1 as an audio device
An audio initiator 5 integrated with a storage frame 3 is mounted on the front surface of the apparatus, and a heater control 7 is mounted above the audio tuner 1.

The frame 3 can accommodate a high-quality equalizer if necessary (see FIG. 1).

The frame body 3 and the audio off initializer 5 are
As shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 4, it is integrally molded from a light-transmissive resin, such as Delorin resin, and has a configuration in which the audio initiator 5 rises from the upper edge of the frame 3. A light source 13 is attached to the rear surface of the upper end of the audio off initializer 5.
A concave portion 15 is formed in the portion where the light source body 13 faces.
A diagonal first cut portion 17 is formed in the lower part of the recess 15 so as to guide the light from the light source 13 in a direction along the audio initiator 5. Also, a second diagonal cut portion 1 is provided on the front side of the corner portion between the audio initiator 5 and the frame body 3.
9 is formed, and a third cut portion 21 facing the second cut portion 19 is also formed on the upper side of the front and rear middle portion of the frame body 3.
is formed. The audio off initiator 5 and the front surface of the frame 3 and the third cut portion 2
The rear surface of the audio tuner 1 is painted 23, and a display part 25 facing the scale of the audio tuner 1 and a lighting part 27 facing the third cut part 21 of the frame 3 are not painted.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

When assembling, use the audio off initializer 5.
and the frame 3 can be handled integrally,
It is easy to assemble and also easy to manage parts.

When in use, the frame 3 can be used as a storage space. At this time, the light emitted from the light source body 13 travels from the first cut part 17 in the recess 15 along the audio off initiator 5 as shown by the arrow, and first, the light emitted from the display part 2 of the audio tuner 1
Perform the lighting in step 5. Therefore, it becomes easy to confirm the scale of the audio tuner 1. The light traveling along the audio initiator 5 is then
The direction is changed at the cut portion 19 and the sheet moves along the frame 3. The light that has traveled in this way is transmitted to the third cut portion 21
The direction is changed again at , and the inside of the frame 3 is irradiated from the lighting section 27 . Therefore, the light source body 13 can be used in common as illumination for the frame body 3.

On the other hand, depending on the type of vehicle, an equalizer can also be housed in the frame 3 (see FIG. 1).

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment, in which the third cut portion 21 of the above embodiment is omitted and the lighting portion 27 is enlarged. In this case, substantially the entire area inside the frame 3 can be illuminated.

(f) Effects of the invention As is clear from the above, according to the structure of this invention, the audio initiator and the storage frame 3 are integrally formed, which reduces the number of parts and facilitates parts management and parts assembly. becomes easier. In addition, a light source body is provided which is integrally molded from a light-transmitting resin and illuminates by transmitting light along the audio initiator and the frame. This makes it possible to provide lighting inside the frame while reducing the complexity of parts management and parts assembly.
