Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a pedestal used in a table-top device, and more particularly to a pedestal with improved fixation.

Generally, a device installed on a tabletop has a plurality of pedestals fixed to the bottom of the device's housing. This pedestal is made of a soft material such as a rubber material so as to be stable even with slight differences in the level of the plane on which the device is installed, and to also serve as a non-slip member. In some cases, the pedestal and the casing are fixed by screws or the like. However, screwing requires machining of a mounting tap hole and further screwing work, which has the disadvantage of increasing the number of man-hours.
Therefore, some devices are fixed by making a circular through hole in the casing side using a press and fitting a groove provided in the pedestal into the hole. FIG. 1 shows a conventional pedestal mounting structure in a side view a, a perspective view b, and a plan view c of a through hole for pedestal mounting. The housing 1 is supported by the installation surface 3. Pedestal 2
As shown in FIG. 2B, the flange 2A is formed of a rubber material or the like into a disk shape, and has a flange 2A having a diameter d ₁ and a thickness t ₁ . On the other hand, the housing 1 is provided with a circular through hole 1A having a diameter _d2 , as shown in FIG.
The diameter d ₁ of the collar 2A is larger than the diameter d ₂ of the through hole 1A, and fixation of the pedestal leg 2 is performed by deforming the collar 2A and inserting the groove 2B into the through hole 1A. When deforming and passing the collar 2A through the through hole 1A, external force is required, so it was necessary to insert something with a protruding tip, such as a screwdriver, into the groove 2B and push it. Therefore, a tool such as a screwdriver is required to attach the base leg 2, and the collar 2A may be damaged if the force is not adjusted when pushing it in.

The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems by providing a notch in a part of the periphery of the circular through hole to facilitate insertion of the collar of the pedestal leg. It will be achieved.

The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to FIG.
Fig. 2 shows a plan view ₍ a) and a perspective view ( _b ) of a through hole for attaching a pedestal leg in the pedestal attachment structure according to the present invention. A notch 1B is provided, which makes it possible to obtain a length l that is longer than the diameter d ₂ . This length l is the diameter d1 of the collar 2A of the pedestal leg 2 mentioned above.
By selecting the width t ₂ to be approximately equal to the thickness t ₁ , when fixing the pedestal leg 2 , the flange 2A is tilted as shown in FIG.
By inserting it into the through hole 1A according to the direction B and gradually rotating it in the direction of the arrow, the edge of the through hole 1A can be easily inserted and fixed into the groove 2B by slightly deforming the collar 2A. Moreover, this notch 1B is the through hole 1
This is around a part of A, and the holding force of the pedestal leg 2 after fixation is almost the same as before, and there is no need to use tools such as a screwdriver as in the conventional case, so the pedestal leg can be easily damaged. There is no danger of doing so.

As explained above, the present invention uses a simple method of providing a notch 1B in a part of the periphery of the through hole 1A.
It has great practical effects, such as making the installation process easier, eliminating the need for special insertion tools, and reducing work time.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Fig. 1 shows a conventional pedestal mounting structure, a is a side view, b is a perspective view, c is a plan view of the through hole, and Fig. 2 is a pedestal mounting structure according to the present invention, a is a plan view of the through hole, b is a perspective view. In the figure, 1 is a housing, 2 is a pedestal, 1A is a through hole, 1B is a notch, 2A is a collar, and 2B is a groove.

Claims (1)

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] A base leg made of a soft material and having a flange of a predetermined thickness formed by providing a groove along the circumference of a disk is formed into a flat plate having a circular through hole. On the other hand, the pedestal leg mounting structure is fixed by fitting the groove into the through hole, and when the fitting is performed, the thickness of the flange is adjusted such that the flange can be inserted into the through hole in the thickness direction. A notch is provided on the circular outer periphery of the through hole and has a width approximately equal to the diameter of the flange and a depth approximately equal to the difference between the diameter of the brim and the inner diameter of the through hole. structure.
