Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of application of the invention) This invention is particularly used for holding and storing home electrical appliances such as televisions and air conditioners, and control panels with remote controls for office automation equipment in fixed positions. The present invention relates to a suitable operation panel holder.

(Background Art) Household electrical appliances such as televisions and air conditioners generally have the characteristic that once the installation location is determined, they are not moved much thereafter. In recent years, many control panels for this type of equipment are equipped with remote controls that are separate from the main body, but the control panels are small compared to the main body, and the main body and control panel are Because they are separate, we often lose them and look for them when we are using them, or we accidentally step on them or drop them. This also means that operation panels with remote controls are increasingly being adopted.
The same can be said about (office automation) equipment.

(Technical Problem) The technical problem of this invention is that the operation panel can be kept and stored in a fixed position independently from the main body of the various devices mentioned above, and can be freely removed and used without removing it when in use. The object of the present invention is to provide an operation panel holder that can be operated by changing the holding position while the device is being held.

(Technical Means) In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, this invention comprises: an operation panel holder; a board provided with means for attaching to a wall, etc.; a bracket configured to allow the operation panel to be detachably attached; A hinge pin that rotatably attaches this bracket to the board, a pressing click body that is reciprocatably attached to the hinge pin and has an uneven surface, and a press click body that is attached to the bracket so that it can rotate together. a pressure receiving click body provided with projections and depressions that fit with the projections and depressions of the pressing click body; and a spring that is wound around and resiliently installed around the hinge pin in order to press and bias the pressure click body toward the pressure receiving click body. It is composed of

(Example) According to the drawing, 1 is a board attached to a wall 2 of a room with mounting screws 3, 3, . . . A spring case part 4 is provided at the bottom of this board 1, Inside the portion 4 is a pressing click body 6 on which a compression coil spring 5 acts.
is slidably stored. This pressing click body 6 has an insertion hole 6a penetrating in the axial direction, and has protrusions 6b, 6b on the outer circumference, and these protrusions 6b, 6b are formed in a groove 4a provided on the inner wall of the spring case portion 4. , 4a, so that it does not rotate. This pressing click body 6 is further provided with a pair of protrusions 6c, 6c at opposing positions across the insertion hole 6a at the end opposite to the side on which the compression coil spring 5 is disposed.

Reference numeral 7 designates a bracket having a spring case storage portion 7a at its lower end. This bracket 7 further has locking parts 7b, 7b for locking and holding the operation panel 8 at the upper and lower positions, and has a spring case storage part 7a.
While storing the spring case part 4 inside, the board 1 is
They are rotatably connected via a hinge pin 9.

Inside the spring case storage section 7a, a hinge pin 9 is inserted into an insertion hole 10a provided in the axial direction of the center of the spring case, facing the pressing click body 6.
The pressure receiving click body 10 is fixedly housed so as not to rotate while being inserted therethrough. On the surface of the pressure receiving click body 10 facing the pressure click body 6, recesses 10b, which form a pair with the insertion hole 10a in between, are provided.
10b, 10c, and 10c are provided at intervals of approximately 60°.

Therefore, if the board 1 is fixed to the wall 2 in the room at a position slightly above the head of an adult in a standing position, the pressing click body 6 of the board 1 can be pressed when the operation panel 8 is not in use. The protrusions 6c, 6c are located in the recesses 10b, 1 of the pressure receiving click body 10 of the bracket 7.
0b, and the bracket 7 can be stably maintained in an upright state. , it is possible to prevent as much as possible from losing sight of it, stepping on it by mistake, or dropping it and causing it to break.

In addition, when in use, if you hold the operation panel 8 in your hand and move it in the directions indicated by arrows a and b in FIG. It is something that can be held and used freely.

When the operation panel 8 is finished being used, it can be held and stored by locking it again to the locking portions 7b, 7b of the bracket 7. This holding state is maintained by the compression coil springs 5. The projection 6c of the pressing click body 6 is pressed in one direction,
6c is the recess 10b, 10 of the pressure receiving click body 10.
It is extremely stable because it is fitted in b.

Alternatively, without removing the operation panel 8 from the bracket 7 during use, if you hold the bracket 7 together with the operation panel 8 in your hand, or hold its upper end with your hand and pull it toward you, the bracket 7 will be pressed. Although the protrusions 6c, 6c of the click body 6 encounter resistance to detach from the recesses 10b, 10b of the pressure-receiving click body 10 against the pressing force of the compression coil spring 5, the operation panel 8 rotates around the hinge pin 9 as a fulcrum. , when it is opened approximately 60 degrees, the pressing click body 6
The projections 6c, 6c are in the recess 1 of the pressure receiving click body 10.
By fitting into the holes 0 and 10c, it is click-stopped at this open position.

Therefore, the operator must move the operation panel 8 to the bracket 7.
You can operate the various push buttons while looking at the buttons while holding them in place.When you have finished operating the bracket 7, push it in the closing direction and the bracket 7 will move to the operation panel 8 in the opposite direction. The protrusion 6 of the pressing click body 6 rotates and returns to its original position.
c, 6c are recesses 10b, 1 of the pressure receiving click body 10.
0b, it stably stops and returns to its original state.

As can be seen from the above, bracket 7 is
Considering that 9 stops are required at 60 degrees, it is desirable that the board 1 be installed at a position slightly above the head of a standing adult, but this is not a particular requirement.

In addition, the command radio waves emitted from the operation panel 8 are spread over a considerable range, so if there is no problem, the board 1
It is optional to lower the mounting position so that the bracket 7 can be operated without rotating it.

Furthermore, the click stop angle of the bracket 7 is
It is also possible to devise a structure that allows the free stop to be performed in multiple stages, and it is also optional to use a friction member or the like to allow the free stop to be performed steplessly.

(Effects) As explained in detail above, this device has a simple structure, and the spring always presses the pressing click body toward the pressure receiving click body, so it can be rotated vertically by placing one hand on the bracket. By simply moving the bracket, the concave and convex portions of the two engage, disengage, and refit, allowing the bracket to be stably stopped and held together with the operation panel.

This idea also allows the control panel to be kept in the same position at all times.
Since it can be stored, it is possible to save the trouble of searching for it when using it, and to prevent it from being accidentally dropped or stepped on and broken.
