Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a fixing structure for an operation lever for operating a switch or reset operation for, for example, a meter internal unit in a vehicle.

Conventional technology For example, the operation lever for operating the switch or reset operation of the internal instrument of a vehicle, etc.
It is located on the front panel of the meter so that it can be operated from outside the meter. FIG. 3 shows a front view of a conventional meter, and FIG. 4 shows a side sectional view of the meter shown in FIG. A dial plate 3 is fixed to the display panel 3, and a pointer 4 is fixed to a shaft protruding from the instrument body 1 through a hole in the display panel 3, and is provided on the front surface of the display panel 3. Further, a facing page 5 is provided on the case 1, and a transparent cover 6 is provided to cover this facing page 5. moreover,
A flange 9 of an operating lever 8 is fixed to a mounting boss 7 provided in the case 1 by screws 10, and the operating lever 9 projects through a hole in the display panel 3 and a hole in the endpaper 5.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional instrument configured as described above, the mounting boss 7 is provided upright from the bottom of the case 1, and the flange 9 of the operating lever 8 is attached to the boss 7 with the screw 1.
Since it is fixed at 0, a large space is required for the boss 7 that fixes the operating lever 8, and further work is required to tighten the screws.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a mechanism housed in a case that is operated by a control lever attached to the front panel. forming a flange, disposing the operating lever main body in a notch in the front panel disposed on the front surface of the case, and placing the flange on the front panel around the notch;
Further, a facing plate is disposed from above the front panel to cover at least a part of the front panel, and a projecting piece is formed integrally projecting from the back surface of the facing plate and pressing the flange of the operating lever. .

According to this device, the flange of the operating lever is placed on the display panel and is held down by a protruding piece protruding from the back surface of the cover plate, so no space is required to provide a boss, and there is no need to screw the operating lever in place.

Embodiment FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a part of the instrument of the present invention.
Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a part of the instrument shown in Fig. 1 assembled, in which numeral 3 is a display panel and numeral 5 is a facing plate, and since these structures are the same as those of the conventional example, no explanation will be given. Although omitted, in this embodiment, the display panel 3 has a recess 1 into which the flange 9 of the operating lever 8 is inserted.
1 is provided, and a hole 12 into which the lower part 8a of the operating lever 8 is inserted is provided in the recess 11, and pins 13a and 13b are press-fitted into the notches 9a and 9b provided in the flange 9 of the operating lever 8. It is provided. Furthermore, projecting pieces 14a and 14b are provided that project downward from the facing plate 5, and a hole 15 into which the upper portion 8b of the operating lever 8 is inserted is provided.

In this embodiment configured in this way, first, the lower part 8a of the operating lever 8 is inserted into the hole 12 of the display panel 3, and the pins 13a, 13b are inserted into the notches 9a, 9b provided in the flange 9 of the operating lever 8. Press it into place and temporarily secure the operating lever. Then, by placing the endpaper 5 on the display panel 3, the projecting piece 1 of the endpaper 5 is placed on the display panel 3.
4a and 14b press and fix the flange 9 of the operating lever 8.

In this embodiment, the operation lever is not screwed in this way, so the work is simple and no boss is required for screwing.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, the present invention has a configuration in which the flange of the operating lever is placed on the display panel, and the flange of the operating lever is pressed by a protrusion protruding from the back of the facing plate. Therefore, there is no need for space to provide a boss, and there is no need to screw the operating lever, which has the advantage of simplifying the work.
