A tongue piece 16 is integrally formed on the side of the upper end of the substrate 1.
The mechanism that makes up the tape recorder attached to 6,
23 is a motor that drives this mechanism 22, 24 is L
A partition plate 25, which is formed in a letter shape and constitutes a battery storage section housed in the front cabinet 1 opposite to the opening 13 formed in the rear cabinet 10, is attached to the recess 5 formed in the top plate 1b of the front cabinet 1. 26 is the sub-cabinet 25.
When the is installed in the recess 5, the operation knobs 1 of various mechanisms
8 are projecting through holes formed in the sub-cabinet 25, and 27 and 28 are engaging protrusions formed on the lower surface of the sub-cabinet 25, respectively, facing the through holes 7 and 8 formed in the recess 5, respectively. , 29 is a projection integrally formed on one end surface of the sub-cabinet 25, and 30 is a through-hole 31 formed on the other end of the sub-cabinet 25, through which various mechanisms can be attached when the sub-cabinet 25 is installed in the recess 5. board 16

36 is a battery.

In the above embodiment, various mechanisms and various electric circuits are housed in the front cabinet 2, and the rear cabinet 1 is
0. When installing the sub-cabinet 25, it can be easily installed using the following procedure. That is,
First, the first and second substrates 16 and 17 on which various mechanisms and various electric circuits are attached are connected to each other using screws 37, etc., as shown in FIG. These boards 16 and 17 are then inserted into the front cabinet 1 and fixed therein using screws 38 and the like. In this case, since the operation knobs 18 and 19 for operating various mechanisms and various electric circuits are attached to protrude from the front cabinet 1, insertion into the front cabinet 1 becomes extremely difficult. For example, the through hole 6 and opening 9 into which these are inserted are formed very large, and the opening 9 is open at the rear, so that insertion into the front cabinet 1 can be performed extremely easily.

After inserting and fixing the various mechanisms and various electrical circuits together with the boards 16 and 17 into the front cabinet 1 in this way, the partition plate 24 constituting the battery compartment is inserted and fixed, and then the rear cabinet 10 is inserted into the front cabinet 1. Attach to the rear opening. When the rear cabinet 10 is installed in the rear opening of the front cabinet 1, the rear cabinet 10 is attached to the front cabinet 1.
It can be easily mounted by tightening and fixing the board 17, etc., using screws 39, etc., facing the rear opening of the board.

With the rear cabinet 1 attached to the rear opening of the front cabinet 1, the sub-cabinet 25 is then inserted into the recess 5 formed in the top plate 1b of the front cabinet 1.
Attach to. When installing the sub-cabinet 25 into the recess 5 formed in the top plate 1b of the front cabinet 1, first insert the protrusion 29 formed on one end surface of the sub-cabinet 25 into the opening 9 formed in the recess 5, and then attach the front cabinet 1 to the recess 5. It is locked to the lower surface of the top plate 1b. In this state, the sub-cabinet 25
are fitted into the recess 5, and the engaging protrusions 27 and 28 formed on the lower surface of the sub-cabinet 25 are connected to the through holes 7 to 28 formed in the upper surface plate 1b of the front cabinet 1, respectively, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. 9 and rear cabinet 1
0. Fit into the center hole of the mounting tongue piece 11 formed on the inner upper end of the holder. In this way, the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 10 are connected to the sub cabinet 2.
5, it is possible to almost completely prevent a gap from forming between the two.

In this way, the sub-cabinet 25 is fitted into the recess 5 formed in the top plate 1b of the front cabinet 1, and the through-hole 3 formed in the sub-cabinet is inserted into the sub-cabinet 1 with the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 10 connected to each other.
The sub-cabinet 25 is completely attached to the front cabinet 1 by inserting a screw 40 into the front cabinet 1 and tightening and fixing it to the mounting tongue 20 formed on the base plate 16.

After that, the handle mounting plate 32 is further inserted into the through hole 30 formed in the sub-cabinet 25, and the engaging protrusion 27 of the sub-cabinet 25 is attached to the side plate of the front cabinet 1 using screws 41 from the side of the front cabinet 1. The handle mounting plate 32 is simultaneously tightened and fixed to complete the entire assembly.

That is, according to the above embodiment, the other sub-cabinets 2 of the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 10
5, a through hole for inserting the operating knob that matches the operating knob is formed in the sub-cabinet 25, and the sub-cabinet 25 is installed with various mechanisms and various electric circuits housed in the front cabinet 1 and rear cabinet 10. Therefore, it is possible to form through holes or openings that are sufficiently larger than the operating knobs in each part of the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 10 that overlap with the sub-cabinet, and the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 10 are small. It has the advantage that various mechanisms and various electric circuits can be easily housed in the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 10. Further, according to the above embodiment, the engaging protrusions 28 are formed on the lower surface of the sub-cabinet 25, and these are connected to the through holes 8 formed in the upper surface plate 1b of the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 1.
Since the mounting tongue 11 is configured to engage with the center hole of the mounting tongue 11, which is formed at zero, there is an advantage that the front cabinet 1 and the rear cabinet 10 are firmly and reliably connected. In the above embodiment, the sub-cabinet 25 is attached to the front cabinet 1 using screws 40, but the protrusion 29 formed on one end surface of the sub-cabinet 25 is latched to the inside of the top plate 1b of the front cabinet 1. and an engaging protrusion 27 formed on the lower surface of the sub-cabinet 25.
The screw 40 is not necessarily required since it is tightened and fixed to the side surface of the front cabinet 1 with the screw 41.

Further, according to the above embodiment, the handle mounting plate 32 is inserted into the through hole 30 formed in the sub-cabinet 25,
Engagement protrusion 2 formed on the lower surface of the sub-cabinet 25
7 and screws 41 to the side plate of the front cabinet 1, there is an advantage that the handle can be easily attached without requiring a separate dedicated screw.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, the front cabinet is provided with a through hole in the plate protruding from the inner surface near the top surface, and the rear cabinet is provided with a through hole in the mounting tongue protruding from the inner surface near the top surface. By providing holes and engaging engagement protrusions provided on the sub-cabinet with these through-holes, both the front and rear cabinets can be coupled to each other at the sub-cabinet so as to be attracted to each other. Therefore, the above-mentioned sub-cabinet and the rear cabinet can be firmly connected without any gaps, and since the above-mentioned sub-cabinet serves as a substitute for the screws that connect the above-mentioned front cabinet and the rear cabinet, the connection between the above-mentioned front cabinet and rear cabinet can be easily made. The number of screws used can be kept small. In addition, since an opening is provided on the top surface of the front cabinet that is large enough to allow the multiple operation knobs of the mechanisms that make up the tape recorder to be inserted all at once, the workability of attaching the mechanism to the front cabinet is improved. Moreover, since the sub-cabinet has its engaging projections engaged with the through-holes of the plate parts and mounting tongues protruding from the inner surfaces of the front and rear cabinets, the sub-cabinet can be assembled to both the above-mentioned cabinets after the front and rear cabinets have been assembled. Therefore, the through hole for inserting the knob provided in the sub-cabinet can be made as small as possible to fit each operating knob, and the internal mechanism can be inserted into the gap between the operating knob and the through hole for inserting the knob. It is possible to improve the appearance by making it difficult to see through. As a result, it is possible to realize a cabinet that is compact as a whole and has excellent ease of assembly.
