Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Purpose of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to an improvement of a cabinet device in which a concave portion is formed in the cabinet body so that it can be carried.

(Prior Art) Electronic devices such as television receivers are made portable by forming U-shaped handles on the cabinet or by forming horizontal recesses on the vertical surface of the cabinet. It is configured.

FIGS. 4 and 5 show an example of a television receiver that can be carried with a handle recess formed in the cabinet, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view. In each figure, 1 is a front cover that constitutes a cabinet, and 2 is a back cover. A cover fixing member 3 having screw fixing bosses 4 is formed on the top plate of the front cover 1 by adhesive or other means. The back cover 2 has a bulge at the rear, and a recess 5 for gripping is formed in the vertical wall above the bulge.

Front cover 1 and back cover 2 are
is inserted into the inside of the front cover 1, and the handle recess 5
is fitted at a position where the inner outer surface of the boss 4 abuts against the boss 4. Then, by screwing the screw 6 into the boss 4 through the screw through hole 5a formed in the inner surface of the handle recess 5, the front cover 1 and the rear cover 2 are fixed (see FIG. 4).

In the above-mentioned cabinet device, the television receiver is lifted by inserting the hand into the handle recess 5, but the handle recess 5 also functions as a screw-fastening protrusion facing the boss 4 to fix the cover. It also serves to hide screw 6.

Incidentally, in recent television receivers, the weight of components such as cathode ray tubes tends to be heavier than in conventional television receivers due to the market's desire for high image quality and large screens. Therefore, when the cabinet device having the structure shown in FIG. 4 (FIG. 5) is lifted, the weight of the television receiver is transferred to the top plate portion 2a of the rear cover 2.
is applied to the top plate portion 1a of the front cover 1, and as such force is repeatedly applied to both covers, deformation occurs, and the gap B between the top plate portion 2a of the back cover 2 and the recessed portion 5 for gripping becomes smaller. In addition, the top plate portion of the front cover 1 may warp upward, resulting in an inconvenience in that the fitting surface opens.

Further, the handle recess 5 is formed by punching, and as can be seen from FIG. 4, it is formed in a tapered shape. Therefore, there was a risk that the hand inserted into the handle recess 5 could slip and cause a fall accident.

As a countermeasure for the former, it is sufficient to increase the number of screws, but there is a drawback that screw fixing means must be formed in places other than the handle recess 5, which complicates the structure of each cover. As a countermeasure for the latter, it is possible to deepen the handle recess 5 or form an anti-slip protrusion on the upper surface side.
There is no point in making the depth deeper than a human hand can reach, and it is difficult to form anti-slip protrusions without molding.

Also, when a slit is made at the position shown at point A in Fig. 4, and a slit is formed on the gap B side to serve as a stopper and reinforcement, when the cabinet device is lifted,
Countermeasures have been considered in which the upper wall on the back side of the slit is curved by the weight of the television receiver, and a step is formed between it and the upper wall on the opening side, but it is difficult to form the back cover and there are problems with the strength. Problems remain in this regard.

(Problems that the invention aims to solve) In conventional cabinet devices, the hand may slip from the handle recess and fall, or the front cover and back cover cannot be separated due to the weight of the television receiver, and the mating surface may become flat. I had a problem with it opening.

The object of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned problems and provide a cabinet device that is not dangerous to carry and that prevents the fitting surface from opening.

[Structure of the device] (Means for solving the problem) In this device, a reinforcing plate is provided on the top plate of the front cover, and a hand inserted through the recess for holding the hand can be placed on this reinforcing plate. .

(Function) According to this invention, the weight of the device is borne by the reinforcing plate. Since the reinforcing plate is a separate piece, it is easy to use a reinforcing structure such as ribs, which can reliably support the weight of the equipment, reducing the load on the top plate of the back cover and front cover. Prevents the mating surface from opening. In addition, the hand will not get caught on the retaining protrusion and will not easily slip.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example in which this invention is applied to a television receiver will be described.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view showing an embodiment of a cabinet device according to this invention. Further, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view for clarifying the configuration of FIG. 1.

In FIG. 1, reference numerals 11 and 12 are a box-shaped front cover and a rear cover, respectively, as shown in FIG. 4) is not formed. Instead, a reinforcing plate 13 formed as a separate piece is provided.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the reinforcing plate 13 is a long plate material extending over the entire top plate portion 11a of the front cover 11, and has an L-shaped cross section. The distal end of the L-shaped long piece extends in the same direction as the protrusion 13b constituting the short piece, thereby forming a protrusion 13c. Further, the protrusion 13b has a cover fixing boss 13 extending in the opposite direction to the long piece.
a is formed, and the protrusion 13b and the protrusion 13c are connected by ribs 13d, 13d, .

The back cover 12 is formed with a bulge 12c for storing the rear of the cathode ray tube, and also has a handle recess 14 which is a recess opposite to the bulge 12c.
is formed. The handle recess 14 is located at the rear end 1
4a comes into contact with the protrusion 13b of the reinforcing plate 13, and the front cover is fixed by screwing the screw 15 into the screw hole 13f of the cover fixing boss 13a and the screw hole 14c formed in the rear end 14a, which are aligned with each other. 11
and the back cover 12 are fixed. Further, an opening 14b is bored on the upper surface side of the handle recess 14,
A reinforcing plate 13 is facing. Therefore, the finger inserted through the hand holding recess 14 can touch the reinforcing plate 13.

Further, the back cover 12 is formed with a thin wall around the opening that constitutes the fitting surface with the front cover 11.
This thin part 12a enters the inside of the opening of the front cover 11 and the rear cover 1.
2 are fitted. In this case, the thin part 12a
will enter the gap 16 between the opening periphery of the front cover 11 and the upper surface of the reinforcing plate 13.

Note that the spacing between the ribs 13d of the reinforcing plate 13 matches the width of the handle recess 14, in other words, the width of the opening 14b. Further, FIG. 3 is a rear view of the front cover 11 with the reinforcing plate 13 attached.

According to the above configuration, the handle recess 14
When you insert your hand inside and lift it up, the weight of the television receiver is applied only to the reinforcing plate 13. Reinforcement plate 13
Since it is L-shaped (U-shaped if the protrusion 13c is included), the resistance against bending force in the longitudinal direction is strong.
No weight is applied to either the top plate part 12b of the back cover 12 or the top plate part 11a of the front cover 11. Therefore, the top plate portion 11a of the front cover 11,
Alternatively, a deformation phenomenon in which the top plate portion 12b of the rear cover 12 curves and the fitting surface opens cannot occur.

Further, the fingers inserted through the hand holding recess 14 will be caught on the protrusion 13c of the reinforcing plate 13, thereby fully exhibiting the anti-slip effect.

Although there is only one reinforcing plate 13 in this embodiment, there are a plurality of cover fixing members 3 in FIG. .

[Effects of the invention] As described above, this invention has a high anti-slip effect when lifting the device, and a high effect of preventing the fitting surface from opening due to repeated use.
