Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention is an invention related to a device for attaching display chips to light electrical appliances such as amplifiers, players, stereos, etc. Here, the chip is a transparent or colored translucent body made of plastic, etc., which is attached to a hole in a front panel, etc., and transmits the light of the display LED inside.

<Prior Art> Conventionally, this type of display facet has a push knob fixed to the tip of the shaft of a push switch attached to the main body 15 of the device, for example, as shown in FIG. An LED electrically connected to the panel 11 is installed inside the panel 11 with the direction facing forward. A light cutout 26 is positioned directly above the push switch to display the operation of the push switch.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> Therefore, the cutout 26 is placed above the pushbutton knob, and is pressed against the lower edge 13 of the decorative rod 12 with a U-shaped cross section attached to the panel 11. Retained. Also, inside, Kiriko 26
A separately formed spacer 18 is inserted between the upper surface of the rear end and the panel 11 or the main body 15, and the facets 26 are pressed and fixed from above.

However, with this structure, the facets 26 are held at the rear end, and the shape and position of the parts are not stable during assembly, making assembly difficult. The fingertip presses the cutter 26, and the cutter 2
The fixing force of 6 was weak, so it had the disadvantage that it would shift and move up and down, causing it to wobble.

Furthermore, since parts such as the spacer 18 are required, the cost is also increased.

<Means for Solving the Problems> The structure of the present invention for achieving the object will be explained using FIGS. 1 to 3 corresponding to the embodiments. The display cutout 6 is located horizontally in the longitudinal direction, and transmits the light of the LED 4 that operates in conjunction with the switch 1, and emits light from the light emitting surface 10 facing the front of the device body 15. The lower edge 13 of the free end of the U-shaped decorative rod 12 fixed to the front panel 11 is
A protrusion 20 forming the light emitting surface 10 of the facet 6
and a protrusion 14 protruding parallel thereto, and the rear end of the cut 6 is fitted and fixed into a guide 17 formed on the main body 15.

<Function> In this case, the face 6 has a decorative rod 1 between the plane part 20 forming the light emitting surface 10 and the rib-shaped convex part 14.
The lower end edge 13 of the device 2 is clamped while maintaining elasticity, and the rear end portion is held by a guide 17 formed on the device body 15, so that it is easy to assemble and can be firmly fixed to the decorative rod 12.

<Examples> Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be described. Reference numeral 1 denotes a push switch, which is attached and fixed to the main body 15 of the device. 2 is a switch shaft, and a push knob 3 is attached to the tip. 4 is an LED, the main body 15 above switch 1
The light-shielding tube 5 is attached with the direction facing forward.
It is attached to the inner bottom of the switch 1 and is electrically connected to operate in conjunction with the switch 1.

6 is a facet in the shape of a flat prism, and the light-receiving surface 7 faces the LED 4 so that it can easily receive the light from the LED 4, and the LED receives light on the slopes 8 and 9 provided on the outside.
4 is reflected inside, and the reflected light is directed forward from a front panel 11 to a light emitting surface 10 attached above and adjacent to the push knob 3.

and a protrusion 20 forming a light emitting surface 10;
The lower end edge 13 of a decorative rod 12 having a U-shaped cross section attached to a horizontal line of the front panel 11 is press-fitted between the decorative rod 14 and a convex portion 14 provided parallel thereto, and the decorative rod 12 is clamped and fixed.

The rear end of the facet 6 is fitted and locked into a support guide 17 provided on the main body 15.

Although the embodiments considered to be representative of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the structure of these embodiments, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to the structure of these embodiments. It can be implemented with appropriate modification within the scope of achieving the following effects.

<Effects of the invention> As is already clear from the above explanation, the invention has the following effects:
One end of a decorative rod with a U-shaped cross section attached horizontally was fitted and inserted between the flat plate part forming the light-emitting surface of the facet and a separately provided convex part, and the rear end of the facet was formed into the main body. Since it is locked to the support guide, the facet is in a fixed position at the front and rear, has strong resistance to vertical movement, and does not shift or move when touched by the fingertip. In addition, during assembly, all you have to do is insert it into the decorative rod and lock it to the support guide, so it is expected to have significant practical effects such as easy assembly, no need for spacers, and lower costs. I was able to do this.
