Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Table of Contents] - Overview - Industrial application field - Conventional technology - Problems to be solved by the invention - Means for solving the problems - Effects - Examples - Description of the invention Effect [Summary] In a screw accommodation structure for attaching a small device consisting of a molded upper cover and lower cover, mutually opposing protrusions are integrally formed on the inner surfaces of the upper cover and lower cover, and screw insertion holes are formed in the protrusions. A mounting screw accommodating structure that accommodates and holds a screw in the insertion hole and allows a lid that partitions both protrusions to be easily separated with a tool such as a screwdriver.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a small molded device that is fixed to a wall or various electronic devices, communication devices, etc. with screws, and particularly to a structure for accommodating mounting screws before being fixed.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, when a small device is shipped from a factory or the like, mounting screws are housed in a plastic bag or the like and attached to the outer surface of the device casing or the packaging box.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

With conventional methods of storing mounting screws, screws may be lost during transportation or assembly, and screws may be left unattended for long periods of time, especially when the device can be secured by a method other than screwing or can be used without securing. Otherwise, screws were often lost.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mounting screw accommodating structure that eliminates the risk of losing screws and allows easy mounting operations.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, in a housing structure for mounting screws for a molded member comprising a top cover and a lower cover, the top cover and Protrusions are provided on the inner surfaces of each of the lower covers to face each other and come into contact with each other, a screw insertion hole is formed in each of the protrusions, and a lid that partitions between the two opposing protrusions is separably provided on one of the protrusions. , the screw is housed and held in a space surrounded by the lid and the protrusion on the side having the through hole.

[Effect]

The mounting screws are built into the molded member consisting of the upper cover and lower cover, so they cannot be lost. The screws are housed in insertion holes of protrusions integrally formed on the inner surfaces of the upper cover and the lower cover so that they can be easily screwed.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. A molded upper cover 1 and lower cover 2 constitute a casing of a small device. The cover plate 8 on the floor surface of the lower cover 2 is provided with through holes 9 for mounting and fixing screws. A substantially cylindrical protrusion 14 is integrally formed around the through hole 9 on the inner surface of the lower cover 2, as shown in FIG. A screw insertion hole 7 is formed inside the protrusion 14 . A protrusion 13 is integrally formed on the inner surface of the upper cover 1 opposite to the protrusion 14 of the lower cover 2. A screw insertion hole 3 is formed inside this protrusion 13 . A lid 4 is integrally provided at the tip of the protrusion 13. As shown in the plan view of FIG. 3, the lid 4 is connected to the tip of the protruding portion 13 by a thin connecting portion 12 formed between three arc-shaped slits 11. A screw holding hole 5 is provided in the lid 4, and a screw 6 is mounted and held in this screw holding hole 5.

When fixing a small device with such a configuration with screws, use the screwdriver 10 as shown in Figure 2a.
The screw 6 is pressed to break the connecting portion 12 of the lid 4 to separate the lid 4, and as it is, the screw 6 is inserted into the through hole 9 and screwed together as shown in FIG. 2B.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 5 is an exploded view thereof. In this embodiment, the screw 6 is accommodated in the insertion hole 7 in the protrusion 14 of the lower cover 2. The screw 6 is housed with its head facing down so that the threaded portion does not protrude from the through hole 9. Lid 4 provided on protrusion 13 of Atsupa cover 1
There is no need to provide a screw holding hole as in the previous embodiment. The rest of the structure is the same as the embodiment shown in FIG. 1 above.

When fixing the device of this second embodiment with screws, as shown in FIG.
Press the lid 4 to separate it from the connecting part 12,
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 6b, the screw 6 is reversed in direction, inserted into the through hole 9, and screwed.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, in the mounting screw accommodating structure according to the present invention, a protrusion for housing the screw is formed in the casing consisting of the upper cover and the lower cover, and the screw is accommodated and held within the protrusion. There is no need to worry about losing it. Furthermore, if the lid that partitions the protrusion is formed so that it can be easily separated by pressing with a screwdriver or the like, the screw attachment operation can be facilitated.
