Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention can be used, for example, in televisions, videos, etc.
The present invention relates to a device for fixing a synthetic resin holder to a panel of the main body to hold a work such as a remote control.

(Prior art) As a fixing device for such a holder, the board has two mounting holes protruding from the bottom surface of the board and provided in the panel, with the edge in one direction and the edge in the opposite direction in different directions. A device which is provided with claws and which grips the opposing edges of the mounting opening to fix it so that it cannot move in either direction is known from Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-2886 proposed by the present applicant.

In the conventional example, one claw is provided protruding from the lower surface of the substrate, and the other claw is provided on the lower surface of the elastic piece that is biased so that its lower surface is flush with the lower surface of the substrate. Therefore, after fixing the holder to the panel, the holder can be easily removed from the panel by lifting the elastic piece against the bias and removing one of the claws from the edge of the mounting opening, if necessary.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in order to do so, it is necessary to place the elastic piece on the substrate outside the loading area where the workpiece held by the holding means is placed on the substrate.
In other words, if an elastic piece is provided within the loading area of the board,
This is because when removing the holder from the panel, the workpiece must be removed from the holding means, and then the elastic piece cannot be raised against the bias.

Therefore, the work must be held floating above the elastic piece, or must be loaded on the substrate avoiding the top of the elastic piece, which limits the holding position of the work. In fact, in many cases there is no need to remove the holder holding the workpiece from the panel of the main body.
In some cases, it may be desirable to use the held workpiece to more firmly fix the holder to the panel.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a holder fixing device suitable for such uses, in which the workpiece held by the holding means is placed on the substrate by a hinge in the loading area of the substrate. A tongue piece connected to the substrate is formed, one of the claws is provided on the lower surface of the tongue piece, and between the substrate and the tongue piece, the claw on the lower surface of the tongue piece is made to protrude below the lower surface of the substrate. It is characterized in that it is provided with a locking device that maintains it in this state.

(Function) To fix the holder to the panel, place the board on the panel, and use the other claw protruding from the bottom of the board to bite one edge of the panel's mounting opening. Then, bend the tongue with the hinge so that the bottom side of the tongue rests on the panel, and use the claw on the bottom side of the tongue to bite the edge of the panel opposite the mounting opening. When the tongue piece is operated in this manner, a locking device provided between the tongue piece and the substrate is activated, and the claw on the lower surface of the tongue piece is maintained in a state of protruding downward from the lower surface of the substrate. after that,
When the workpiece is held on the substrate by the holding means, the workpiece rests on the tongue piece.

(Embodiment) In the illustrated embodiment, 1 is a panel hinged to the back of the video main body and serves as an openable/closable remote control mounting plate, and 2 is a composite that is fixed to the panel 1 and holds a remote control 3 as a workpiece. A resin holder is shown.

The holder 2 has a substrate 4 that contacts the panel 1 on the bottom surface.
a cover plate 6 that extends from one end of the board in an inverted L shape and has a downwardly facing claw plate 5 at its free end; The cover plate 6 and the holding plate 7 constitute a holding means for holding the remote control in this embodiment, and the remote control held by this holding means rests on the base plate 4.

A tongue piece 8 is formed at one end of the substrate 4 by a substantially U-shaped notch 8'. This tongue piece 8 is a thin hinge 9
The substrates are connected by means of screws, and a claw 10 facing one end of the substrate is provided on the lower surface of the substrate. Further, a fixed claw 11 facing the other end is provided on the lower surface of the other end of the board.

A hinge 9 is bent on the side surface of the notch 8' in the substrate 4 forming the tongue piece and on the opposite side surface of the tongue piece 8, so that when the lower surface of the tongue piece 8 is made flush with the lower surface of the substrate 4, they are mutually connected to each other. A locking device 12 is provided consisting of protrusions 12a, 12b which engage and prevent the tongue from returning upwards. Note that the fixed claw 11 and the tongue piece 8 have the same width.

To fix the holder on panel 1, use fixing claw 1.
1 into the hole 13 made in the panel, and the edge 13a of the hole 13 in one direction is made to bite. Next, the tongue piece 8 that stands upward from the board in the molded state is attached to the third plate using the hinge 9.
Turn in the direction of the arrow in the illustration. As a result, the protrusion 12a on the side surface of the tongue piece 8 and the protrusion 1 on the side surface of the notch 8' in the board.
2b slide past each other, and the protrusion 12b contacts 12a from above to prevent the tongue 8 from returning upward, and at the same time, the lower surface of the tongue becomes flush with the lower surface of the substrate, and the claw 10 on the lower surface of the tongue protrudes below the bottom surface of the board,
A hole 13' opposite to the edge 13a of the hole 13
bite the edge 13b. In this case, holes 13,1
3' is almost the same width as the claws 10 and 11, so of course the board cannot move in the width direction of the hole, and the width of the claws 10 and 1, respectively.
1 also prevents movement in the direction of the edges 13a, 13b of the hole, thus fixing the holder on the panel.

Then, when the remote control 3 is placed on the board and the claw plate 5 at the free end of the cover plate 6 is inserted into the crotch of the holding plate 7 to hold the remote control 3, the remote control 3 will also be placed on the tongue piece 8. The tongue piece 8 cannot be moved upwards even by the weight of the remote control.

When using the remote control, pull it out from the space surrounded by the cover plate 6 and holding plate 7, or remove the hooks from the claws 5' and 7', open the cover plate 6 above the board, and remove it. It can be held on the substrate (tongue) by performing the opposite operation.

Also, if it is absolutely necessary to remove the holder from the panel, remove the remote control from the holder, then use the tip of a screwdriver to pry up the tongue piece and remove the protrusion 1.
2a and 12b are released, and the claw 10 is released from the edge 13b of the hole.

In this embodiment, the remote control is used as the workpiece, but the workpiece is not limited to this, and may be a bundle of electric wires or anything else.
Further, although the panel has two mounting holes 13 and 13', it is not necessary to have two mounting holes, and a single hole connected in series may be sufficient.

(Effects of the invention) According to the invention, the workpiece can be held by the holding means without being constrained by the substrate. Then, the weight of the held workpiece is added to the tongue piece provided on the board, which can be used to more firmly fix the board to the panel.
