Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] "Industrial application field" This invention prevents radios from being stolen.
This invention relates to an automobile radio mounting device.

``Prior Art'' A radio is often installed in the instrument panel of a car. In this case, the structure is
In many cases, a hole is provided in the instrument panel, a radio box is inserted into the hole, and the radio is fixed to the instrument panel from the bottom with screws.

``Problem that the invention seeks to solve'' When the radio is installed in the structure described above, it is relatively easy to remove the radio by inserting your hand from the bottom of the instrument panel and loosening the screw. There was a problem with it being easily stolen.

The purpose of this invention is to prevent a radio attached to an instrument panel from being stolen.

``Means to Solve the Problem'' This idea was developed by installing a radio box inside the instrument panel and attaching the lower part of the instrument panel to the inside of the instrument panel. A gate-shaped bracket is fixed to the vehicle body, and a metal fitting with nuts welded to the bracket at different positions in the front and back direction is attached to the bottom of the radio box.
A metal fitting for inserting the screw is attached, and the radio is attached to the bracket by screwing the screw inserted through the metal fitting into the nut, and the lower surface of the radio mounting part is covered with an ashtray guide fixed to the bracket. This is a radio mounting device for automobiles.

``Function'' With this configuration, the ashtray guide hides the fixing screw of the radio box, so it is not stolen like in the past.

"Embodiment" Next, an embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a bracket,
It is formed by bending a plate into a gate shape. The lower portions of both ends of the bracket 1 are bent outward, and nuts 2 are welded thereto. There is also a part bent downward from the upper part of the center, and a hole 3 is provided at the lower end of the part, and a nut 4 is welded to the upper part of the part. This gate-shaped bracket 1 is attached to an instrument panel 5 (see FIG. 3) at the leg portions at both ends, as shown in FIG. This installation is carried out by inserting the screw 6 from below the instrument panel 5 and screwing it into the nut 2, as will be described later. At the same time, the portion bent downward from the top is connected to the screws 8 and 9 as shown in FIG. 2 via the stay 7 shown in FIG.
and nuts 10 and 11, it is fixed to the floor tunnel 12, which is a member on the vehicle body side.

As is clear from FIG. 1, on the upper part of the bracket 1, a metal plate is bent into a W shape, and nuts 13, 14, 15 are attached to both ends, an intermediate part between both ends and the central part, and a central part. The metal fitting 16 with the attached metal fitting 16 is attached by welding. Metal fitting 16 is radio 17
This is to attach the box 18 (see Fig. 4).
Therefore, on the bottom surface of the box 18 of the radio 17, a metal fitting 1 is provided so as to correspond to the nuts 13 and 15 of the metal fitting 16.
9 and 20 are attached, and screws are inserted into the holes 21 thereof. A spring member 22 bent into a U-shape is attached to the front edges of the upper and lower surfaces of the box 18 of the radio 17, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6.

In FIG. 1, the reference numeral 23 indicates an ashtray, 2
4 is an ashtray guide. The ashtray guide 24 has a front end bent upward and a rear end bent downward, and holes 25 and 26 for passing screws are provided in these parts, respectively. What is shown in FIG. 5 is an escutcheon 27.

Next, the installation order of each part will be explained. First, place the integrated bracket 1 and metal fitting 16 shown in FIG. 28 (second
3) and fix it with the screw 6 inserted from below. Then Radio 17,
The metal fittings 19 and 20 provided on the lower surface of the box body 18 correspond to the parts of the metal fitting 16 on the bracket 1 where the nuts 13 and 15 are attached, and the screws 29 and 30 are screwed into the nuts 13 and 15 from the front. (See Figure 2). At this time, the spring member 22 attached to the box body 18 of the radio 17 engages with the flange portion 31 of the instrument panel 5 (see FIG. 6).

Next, the escutcheon 27 shown in FIG. 5 is pressed against the front of the instrument panel 5 shown in FIG. 3, and the upper end of the ashtray guide 24 is engaged with the lower end to attach it (see FIG. 2). Ashtray guide 24 has hole 2
It is attached to the metal fitting 16 and the bracket 1 by screwing the screws 32 and 33 inserted through the screws 5 and 26 into the nuts 14 and 4. The ashtray 23 is attached to the ashtray guide 24. Radio 17 with the above steps
When installing the instrument panel 5 with the ashtray 23 assembled on the vehicle body, align the downwardly bent portion of the bracket 1 with the stay 7 fixed to the floor tunnel 12, and insert the hole 3 (see Fig. 1). By inserting the screw 8 into the hole and screwing it into the nut 10, the bracket 1 is fixed and the work is completed (see FIG. 7).

``Effect of the idea'' This idea has the structure explained above, and Radio 1
7 is attached to the instrument panel 5, the ashtray 23 is attached to the ashtray guide 24.
Even if the ashtray guide 24 is removed from the radio 17,
Since the mounting part of the camera is hidden, it is less likely to be stolen. In addition, the bracket 1 and the metal fittings 16 integrated therewith are used to hold the radio 17 and attach the instrument panel 5 to the vehicle body (floor tunnel 1).
Since the attachment to 2) can be done using the same parts, these attachments can be done firmly and with good appearance.
