Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a thin plate clamp structure, and more particularly to a thin plate clamp structure that supports a thin plate such as a filter so that it can be attached and detached with a single touch.

(Prior Art) For example, audio equipment such as a video tape deck is provided with a display part that displays information such as time and channel on the front panel on the front of the main unit.This display part is made of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride. There are some that are covered with a filter.

This filter is attached so as to cover the window portion formed in the front panel from the back side, and is attached by directly bonding with adhesive, etc., bonding with double-sided adhesive tape, or heat welding.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) By the way, during the assembly process, dirt, etc. may get into the gap between the back side of the front panel and the contact surface of the filter.In this case, it is necessary to remove the filter from the front panel. , it is necessary to remove this garbage.

However, if the filter is directly glued or heat-welded to the front panel, it is difficult to remove it, and even if it is glued with double-sided adhesive tape, the filter can be attached to the front panel again after being removed. When installing it on a computer, it is necessary to replace the double-sided adhesive tape, making it troublesome to attach and detach.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a flexible support part is provided on the back side of the front panel, a hook is formed on this support part to lock the thin plate, and the thin plate is detachably supported by this hook. It is conceivable that various parts are placed around this support part, and the display part is placed close to the front panel surface, so the amount of movement of the hook when attaching and removing the thin plate must be adjusted so as not to interfere with these parts. It is necessary to create a structure that reduces this and provides reliable support.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the purpose is to provide a thin plate kunlap structure that can reliably support a thin plate in a limited space.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, this invention has a flat flexible support part that rises from the support body through the legs and extends along the support body. A torsionally deformable hook is formed on this support,
The hook is characterized by detachably supporting the thin plate.

(Function) According to this invention, when the hook is pressed when the thin plate is attached to and removed from the support, the hook rotates and deforms to allow the thin plate to pass through. Therefore, the movement of the support part that supports this hook is absorbed by the rotation of this hook, and the amount of movement is reduced.

In this way, by forming the clamp so that the support part extends along the support body and is flat, the height of the clamp can be kept low, and the amount of movement due to deformation when attaching and detaching the thin plate is small, making it possible to parts can be placed in close proximity.

(Example) Next, an example of this invention will be described in detail based on the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 designates a front panel of a video tape deck as a support, which is made of a flexible synthetic resin, for example. This front panel 1 has an opening 1a
Plate contact surfaces 1b, 1c, and 1d are formed around the opening 1a, a fixing hook 2 is provided on one side of the opening 1a, and a clamp is provided on the opposite side of the opening 1a. 3 are integrally formed.

A pair of legs 4 of the clamp 3 are attached to the front panel 1
The two leg parts 4 are connected by a support part 5. A hook 6 is formed at the center of the support part 5 and projects toward the opening 1a of the front panel 1, so that the support part 5 can be twisted and deformed.

This clamp 3 is attached to the opening 1 of the front panel 1.
a, and is arranged as close as possible to the opening 1a, and the height A from the front panel 1 is set relatively low, so that the rise from the front panel 1 is low and flat. .

Therefore, the filter 7 as a thin plate is attached to the opening 1a of the front panel 1 as follows.

First, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 8, one end 7a of the filter 7 is hooked onto the fixing hook 2 and applied to the plate contact surface 1b, and the other end 7b is applied above the clamp 3. Next, with one end 7a hooked onto the fixing hook 2, the other end 7b is pushed in the P direction. As a result, the other end 7b is connected to the slope 6a of the hook 6 of the clamp 3.
Press outward.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the hook 6 is deformed by the deflection of the support part 5 in the Q direction and the twisting in the R direction about the axis 5a, and moves outward by L1. The other end 7b of the filter 7 passes through the hook 6 and is attached. At this time, the outward movement amount L2 of the support portion 5 is reduced by the movement amount L1 of the hook 6 as the hook 6 rotates and absorbs the movement.

In this manner, after the other end 7b of the filter 7 passes the apex 6b of the hook 6, the hook 6 is restored to its original state. As a result, the other end 7b of the filter 7 is locked with the slope 6c of the hook 6, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 8, and the filter 7 can be attached with one touch.

Then, during the assembly process of the video tape deck,
If dust or the like may enter between the front panel 1 and the filter 7, the front panel 1 is removed, and the filter 7 is further removed from the front panel 1 to remove the dust.

In this case, since notches 7d are formed on opposite ends 7a and 7b of the filter 7, as shown in FIG. 8, the end 7c of the filter 7 attached to the front panel 1 is Push the filter 7 in the S direction and flip it up. In this state, slide the filter 7 in the T direction, and insert the notch 7d into the hook 6 of the clamp 3.
and align it with fixing hook 2. As a result, the three sets of filters 7 are simultaneously released from being locked by the hooks 6 of the clamps 3 and the fixing hooks 2, and can be removed with a single touch.

Note that the filter 7 must be removed from the other end 7c.
It is also possible to flip up the filter 7 and slide the filter 7 in the direction opposite to the T direction. Furthermore, this filter 7
The filter 7 may be removed from the hook 6 by manually moving the clamp 3 outward. In this case, it is not necessary to form a notch in the filter 7.

In this way, the clamp 3 is deformed by the bending force of the support part 5 in the Q direction and the torsional force in the R direction about the axis 5a of the support part 5, making it possible to attach and detach the filter 7. Therefore, the movement of the clamp 3 during attachment and detachment is small, parts can be placed around the clamp 3, and it is also possible to arrange a display section and the like close to the front panel 1.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, in this invention, a flat flexible support part that rises from the support body through the legs and extends along the support body is provided, and a thin plate is attached to this support part. A locking hook is formed and the thin plate is detachably supported by this hook, so when the hook is pressed, the hook rotates and deforms to allow the thin plate to pass through, supporting this hook. The amount of movement of the supporting portion is reduced by the rotation of the hook.

Therefore, the height of the clamp can be kept low, and the amount of movement when attaching and detaching the thin plate is reduced, so even if other parts are placed close to the clamp, they will not interfere with each other and will not interfere with the inside of the equipment. As a result, the equipment can be made more compact by making effective use of the space.
