Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a plate nut holding structure having a plurality of screw holes.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 4 to 6 show a conventional electronic device having a plurality of electronic device units.

The electronic device 1 is composed of a housing 2 and a plurality of electronic device units 3 housed in the housing 2. Each electronic device unit 3 is a housing as shown in FIG. It is slidably attached to a slide rail 5 provided on the second side plate 2a through a mounting bracket 7. The slide rail 5 itself is screwed to a bracket (mounting body) 10 shown in FIG. The bracket 10 is provided with slotted notches 10a at both ends thereof, and the male screw 12 inserted into the holes 2b formed on the front side and the back side of the housing 2 is inserted into the notch 10a. Then, the male screw 12 is screwed into the screw hole 14a formed in the plate nut 14 to be attached to the inner side wall of the housing 2. Therefore, the distance between the pair of slide rails 5 and 5 holding the electronic device unit 3 can be adjusted by loosening the male screw 12 and moving the bracket 10 close to or away from the side wall of the housing 2 within the range of the notch 10a. .

However, according to this conventional structure, in order to screw the bracket 10 to the housing 2, the bracket 10 is supported by one hand and the plate nut 14 is positioned and supported at a predetermined position. Since the male screw 12 is screwed into the plate nut 14 with the other hand, it is difficult to mount the bracket 10 on the housing 2.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the conventional structure, since the male nut must be screwed into the plate nut with one hand while supporting the plate nut and the mounting body with one hand, the work of screwing the mounting body is complicated.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a plate nut holding structure that facilitates a screwing operation of a mounting body.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, there are formed a plurality of screw holes which are positioned on one surface of the mounting body having a plurality of screw insertion holes and into which male screws to be inserted into the screw insertion holes are screwed from the other surface of the mounting body. In the plate nut holding structure, the mounting body is provided with a storage portion having an opening for inserting the plate nut on the one surface side, and the plate nut is inserted into the storage portion and the screw hole is inserted into the screw. It is positioned so that it faces the hole.

[0008]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, when the plate nut is inserted into the accommodating portion provided in the mounting body, the screw hole of the plate nut is positioned so as to face the screw insertion hole formed in the mounting body, so that the operator can place the plate nut at a predetermined position. The male screw inserted in the screw insertion hole can be screwed into the screw hole of the plate nut without positioning and holding the screw.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view for explaining a bracket mounting structure, FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of an essential part of the bracket showing a state where a plate nut is inserted, and FIGS. 3 (a), 3 (b) and 3 (c). ) Are a front view, a top view and a side view of the bracket.

As shown in FIG. 2, the bracket (mounting body) 20 according to the present invention has the same slide rail 5 as that of the conventional example fixed by screws 22, and both ends of the bracket 20 are a male screw 24 and a plate nut. The slide rail 5 is attached to the inner side wall of the casing 2 by being attached to the casing 2 similar to the conventional example at 25. The storage portion of the plate nut 25 provided on the bracket 20 will be described below.

The bracket 20 is formed by bending a sheet metal, and the storage portions 20a, 20a having a space into which the plate nut 25 can be fitted are formed at both ends by bending the edges. There is. Further, in this storage portion 20a, an elongated hole-shaped screw insertion hole 20b is formed so as to coincide with the two screw holes 25a of the plate nut 25 inserted in this storage portion 20a.

Next, the work of attaching the bracket 20 to the housing 2 will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the plate nuts 25 are inserted from above into the storage portions 20 a provided at both ends of the bracket 20. The plate nut 25 is now positioned with its screw hole 25a facing the screw insertion hole 20b. In this case, even if the storage section 20a is made slightly larger than the plate nut 25, the horizontal position shift of the plate nut 25 can be handled by the slotted screw insertion hole 20b. Even if the dimensional accuracy up to the screw insertion hole 20b is high, the screw hole 25a is positioned at a position facing the screw insertion hole 20b due to the weight of the plate nut 25.

Next, the male screw 24 inserted into the hole 2b formed in the housing 2 is inserted into the screw insertion hole 20b of the bracket housing 20a and screwed into the screw hole 25a of the plate nut 25. This completes the installation work of the bracket 20. In this case, since the plate nut 25 itself is held by the bracket 20 and the screw hole 25a thereof faces the screw insertion hole 20b, only the bracket 20 is supported by one hand and the other hand is supported. Since the male screw 24 is screwed in, the bracket 20 can be easily mounted.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, by inserting the plate nut into the storage portion provided in the mounting body, the plate nut is held by the mounting body with its screw hole facing the screw insertion hole of the mounting body. Therefore, the operator does not have to support the plate nut when screwing the male screw inserted into the screw insertion hole of the mounting body into the plate nut. Therefore, when the mounting body is screwed to the mounted body, only the mounting body needs to be supported, which facilitates the screwing work of the mounting body.
