Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a device for attaching indicator lights to control centers, switchboards, etc.

[Conventional technology]

Figure 3 shows a conventional indicator light device, in which 1 is the indicator light body, 2 is the indicator light frame which is the same as the indicator light body 1, and 2a is the same body of 1 and 2, which is used to prevent bending. Stopping frame, 3 is indicator light lens, 1a is 1
4 is a tightening ring.

Next, the operation will be explained. To attach the LED indicator light to a door or panel, drill a hole in the door or panel to the same size as the bending prevention frame 2a of the indicator light frame 2, and insert the square hole from the surface of the door or panel.
Insert the LED indicator light body 1 and the indicator light screw part 1a, and at the point where the bending prevention frame 2a engages with the square hole, tighten the tightening ring 4 from the back side of the door or panel.
Tighten the screw part 1a of the LED indicator light 1.
The indicator light frame 2 and the tightening ring 4 sandwich and fix the door or panel. The parts exposed on the door or panel surface are an indicator light frame 2 and an indicator light lens 3 attached to the indicator light frame 2.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

In order to attach it to a door or panel in this manner, it is necessary to rotate the tightening ring 4 back and tighten it. Also, when installing the indicator light, hold the indicator light frame 2 from the door surface side with one hand and tighten the tightening ring 4 with the other hand, so if the door is large and cannot be fixed, two people will have to do it. Become.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned problems and aims to provide a device that can be attached to a door or panel from one direction.

[Means for solving problems]

The indicator light device according to this invention has several claws corresponding to the thickness of the door or panel provided on the indicator light frame, and these claws penetrate the holes provided in the door and hook onto the back of the door. It is.

[Function] In the indicator light device of this invention, an indicator light is inserted into a hole from the surface of a door or panel, and the hook part of the claw engages with the hole in the panel by the spring action of the claw inserted together with the indicator light.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts as in the conventional example described above, 1 is a socket for the LED indicator light, 2 is an edge formed integrally with the indicator light socket 1, and 2b is a part of the edge 2. a claw formed to protrude to the side and engage with the plate thickness A of the door 5, 3;
is an indicator light lens, and 5 is a door or panel.

A protrusion T is formed on one side of the tip of the claw 2b in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the claw 2b, and the panel is held between the edge 2 and the sloped surface of the protrusion T of the claw 2b. ing. The claw 2b is integrated with the edge 2,
It is molded from an elastic resin, and deforms inward when passing through the hole 5a provided in the panel 5.
After passing, the claws 2b try to return to their original positions due to their elasticity, and the panel 5 is clamped.

At this time, the distance between the protrusion T provided on the claw 2b and the edge 2 needs to match the thickness A of the panel 5. The claws 2c and 2d have this spacing different from that of the claw 2b so that they can be used even when the thickness of the panel 5 is different. FIG. 3 shows an example in which three types of claws, namely 2b, 2c, and 2d, are arranged side by side. By doing this, it is possible to use one of the plurality of types of claws 2b, 2c, and 2d, so that one type of indicator light can be used for panels 5 of several different thicknesses. can be accommodated.

The operation of the embodiment will be explained below. Different numbers of claws are provided depending on the thickness of the door or panel 5 (2b, 2c, 2d in the example in FIG. 2), and when inserting into the square hole 5a of the door or panel 5, all the claws 2b, 2c and 2d are square holes 5 of the door or panel 5
When passing through a, it is bent inward, and when the insertion is completed, the board thickness A > board thickness B > board thickness C at the square hole 5a section, and if it is inserted into the board thickness B at the square hole 5a section, the nail A
In case (2b), there is some slack in the claw catching portion T, resulting in looseness. Next, the claws c and 2d cannot pass through the plate thickness B of the square hole 5a and remain bent inward. Since the claws B and 2c engage with the plate thickness B of the square hole 5a, the claw catching portion T is in a state of sandwiching the door or panel 5, thereby fixing the LED indicator light body.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this idea can be applied to various types of doors or panels with multiple claws and different thicknesses.
An indicator light can be attached and fixed from one side, which has the effect of increasing work efficiency.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Figures 1 and 2 show an embodiment of this invention,
FIG. 3 shows a conventional example. Figure 1 is a side view, Figure 2
The figure shows a perspective view, and FIG. 3 shows a perspective view. In the figure, 1 is an LED indicator light socket, 2 is an indicator light edge, 2b, 2c, and 2d are claws, 3 is an indicator lens, 5 is a door or panel, and 5a is a hole.
In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] An illumination part is attached integrally with the socket part at one end of the socket part of the indicator light having the protruding edge part on one side, and has an opening smaller than the edge part of the socket part. , a panel through which the edge of the socket portion passes through the hole, and a plurality of elastic claws protruding from one side of the edge in the direction of the hole in the panel, the claws passing through the hole.
