Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Field of Application> This invention relates to a handle for in-vehicle equipment, and its purpose is to provide a handle that can be easily pulled out.

<Conventional technology> In order to prevent theft of in-vehicle equipment such as car radios,
It is known that the main body of the device is removably attached to a bracket or the like. Such in-vehicle equipment is generally provided with a handle to facilitate loading/unloading/transportation of the in-vehicle equipment. This handle is usually rotatably attached to the front surface of the vehicle-mounted device, and is configured to be stored in close contact with the front peripheral edge of the vehicle-mounted device when not needed.

<Problems with the Prior Art> However, the above-described conventional handle has a drawback that it is difficult to pull out the handle from a state where the handle is stored in close contact with an on-vehicle device. As a mechanism for pulling out such a handle, etc. that is stored in close contact, there is a known mechanism in which the end of the handle, which is rotated 180 degrees and stored in the door of a power distribution board, is pushed in with a finger, rotated, and projected to the front side. However, this structure has problems such as poor operability and the need for a space large enough to insert a finger, making it unsuitable for application to in-vehicle equipment.

<Summary of the invention> This invention was made to improve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the handle body is attached so that it can rotate around a fulcrum and be stored almost closely on the front edge of the in-vehicle equipment. The handle body has a grip part used for attaching/detaching in-vehicle equipment, transportation, etc., and at least a portion thereof is located on the opposite side of the grip part across the fulcrum, so that when the handle body is in the stored state, the front face of the in-vehicle equipment is provided. The basic feature is that a more protruding push-in part is provided.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view, and FIG. 2 is a side view.

This embodiment is an example in which the present invention is applied to an in-vehicle device in which an outer escutcheon 50 is attached to the front of the in-vehicle device X, but the outer escutcheon 50 may of course be omitted. In addition, in FIG. 1, illustrations of the operation panel and the like on the front of the vehicle-mounted equipment X are omitted to make it easier to understand the structure of the handle of the present invention.

The handle body 1 consists of a grip part 5 and side plates integrally provided at both ends thereof at substantially right angles, and has a U-shape. The side plates at both ends are rotatably attached to the upper part of the front surface of the vehicle-mounted equipment X.
In this embodiment, the handle body 1 has a structure in which a synthetic resin cover 10 is covered on the outside of a metal base material 11, and the metal base material 11 is rotatable to the in-vehicle equipment X via a support fitting 4. It is installed. 3 is the fulcrum of rotation. The handle body 1 does not have to be composed of the cover 10 and the metal base material 11 as separate bodies, but may be constructed as an integrated body.

A push-in portion 2 is formed near a fulcrum 3 on the front side of the handle body 1. In this embodiment, a push-in portion 2 is formed in the cover 10. The push-in part 2 has an oblique side 20 that slopes from the front line a of the handle body 1 toward the front side (to the left in FIG. 2) and a fulcrum 3.
It is formed from the arcuate side 22 of a circle whose center point is
It is a protruding portion that protrudes from the front line a toward the front side of the handle body 1. The push-in portion 2 is desirably located near the fulcrum 3, and at least a portion of the push-in portion 2 is located above the fulcrum line b, that is, on the opposite side of the grip portion 5 across the fulcrum 3. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the operator mainly pushes the vicinity of the apex 21 that is the intersection of the hypotenuse 20 and the arcuate side 22, that is, the upper part of the hypotenuse 20, and the upper part of the hypotenuse 20 is moved from the apex 21 to the fulcrum line b.
It is placed higher up. The arcuate side 22 extends to the rear side of the handle body 1, and an arcuate notch 52 corresponding to the arcuate side 22 is formed in the outer escutcheon 50, so that the handle body 1 can rotate.

In the above configuration, when the operator pushes the upper part of the hypotenuse 20, that is, near the top 21 horizontally or slightly upward, the handle body 1 rotates about the fulcrum 3 as shown in FIG. However, the grip part 5 at the lower end of the handle main body 1 swings toward the front side of the vehicle-mounted device X and is pulled out from the state where it is stored in close contact with the vehicle-mounted device X. As a result, the operator can further rotate the handle body 1 by holding the grip portion 5 of the swung handle body 1 and pull out the vehicle-mounted equipment X as it is.

In this embodiment, since the oblique side 20 is an inclined surface, it is easy to press upward, and since the area of the oblique side 20 is large, the operability is extremely improved. Further, as is clear from the drawings, when the handle body 1 is stored, the arcuate notch 52 is integrated with the outer escutcheon 50 and corresponds to the rotating arcuate side 22, so that there is almost no gap between the handle body 1 and the outer escutcheon 50. It achieves an integrated and simple appearance with no unevenness or gaps.

Note that the above configuration is one embodiment of the present invention, and various other configurations are possible. For example, in the case shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a bent piece 15 is provided at the top of the handle body 1, and a part of the bent piece 15 above the fulcrum line b, that is, on the opposite side of the grip part with the fulcrum 3 in between. A part protrudes from the front line a to the front side,
It has a configuration in which a push-in portion 2' is formed.

<Effects of the invention> As explained above, the handle of the in-vehicle device of the present invention rotates around the fulcrum and the handle body is mounted so that it can be stored in close contact with the front edge of the in-vehicle device, and is a grip part used for attaching/detaching or transporting in-vehicle equipment, and a pushing part, at least a part of which is located on the opposite side of the grip part across the fulcrum, and protrudes from the front of the in-vehicle equipment when the handle body is in the stored state. Because of this structure, the handle body can be easily pulled out, and there are no space constraints.
