【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile ashtray device according to the present invention. In this perspective view, the lamp bracket 4 is shown removed from the upper part of the ashtray device.

As shown in this figure, the ashtray device 1 is composed of a storage case 2 attached to an automobile and an ashtray 3 which is retractably stored in the storage case 2. In the ceiling portion 11 of the storage case 2, a light-trapping window 12 is perforated substantially in the center. The light receiving window 12 is set to have a shape in which two rectangular shapes having the same shape are slightly displaced from each other to join the respective side edges 13 and 14, and a step portion 15 is formed at the joined portion. The lamp bracket 4 is attached to the upper surface of the ceiling portion 11 of the storage case 2 in a state where the light-receiving window 12 is closed.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an example of the lamp bracket 4 according to the present invention. As shown in this figure, the lamp bracket 4 is composed of a main body 40 which is a cubic box body having an opening at the bottom, and a flange 42 which is formed on the periphery of the opening. Has been formed. A locking piece 43 protruding outward is provided on a side portion of the flange 42, and a locking hole 43a is provided in the locking piece 43. In addition, a pair of fitting portions 44 are provided on the lower portion of the flange 42 at positions diagonally inside the flange 42 so as to project downward, and a pair of fitting pieces 45 are provided on the lower portion of the fitting portion 44. It is attached so as to project toward one side, and a gap corresponding to the thickness of the ceiling portion 11 of the storage case is formed between the lower surface of the flange 42 and the upper surface of the fitting piece 45.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the ceiling portion 11 of the storage case 2 corresponds to the locking hole 43 a of the locking piece 43 when the lamp bracket 4 is mounted on the light-receiving window 12. The locking protrusion 21 is provided at a position. The locking hole 43a may be formed on the lower surface of the flange 42, and the locking projection may be formed at a position corresponding to this, or the relationship between the locking hole and the locking projection may be reversed. .

FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the ceiling portion 11 of the storage case 2 and shows a state before the lamp bracket 4 is attached to the light extraction window 12. As shown in this figure, the lamp bracket 4 is obliquely placed on the light collecting window 12, the fitting piece 45 is positioned in the direction of the larger diagonal of the light collecting window 12, and the fitting piece 45 is placed. Through the light-emissive window 12. Then, by rotating the lamp bracket 4 in the clockwise direction, the tip end of the fitting piece 45 penetrates into the lower surface of the ceiling portion 11, and the lamp bracket 4 shown in FIG. To do. In this state, the locking piece 43 of the lamp bracket 4 and the locking projection 21 on the ceiling portion 11 of the storage case 2 are fitted to each other, and the flange 42 of the lamp bracket 4 and the fitting piece 45 allow the storage case 2 to fit. The lamp bracket 4 is attached to the storage case 2 with the peripheral edge of the light-receiving window 12 being sandwiched. However, since the flange 42 abuts on the four side edges of the light-emissive window 12 and the fitting pieces 45 abut on opposite positions of the light-emissive window 12 and evenly abut overall, the mounting state is stable. is doing.

When removing the lamp bracket 4 from the storage case 2, the lamp bracket 4 in the state shown in FIG. 4 may be rotated counterclockwise. Then, the state where the peripheral edge of the light-receiving window 12 of the storage case 2 is clamped by the flange 42 and the fitting piece 45 is released, and at the same time, the locking piece 43 and the locking projection 21 are fitted to each other. Then, the lamp bracket 4 can be removed as shown in FIG.

The present invention can be applied to similar devices other than the ashtray device.

[0015]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the lamp bracket is relatively rotated from the mounted state and the pair of fitting pieces provided at the lower part thereof are fitted into the light-receiving window of the storage case. When turned in the direction toward the edge of the lamp, the fitting piece fits into the lower part of the edge of the window, and the locking hole and the locking projection fit into each other to restrict relative rotation. The bracket can be attached to the storage case, and the lamp bracket can be removed from the storage case by performing the reverse operation to the above. Therefore, in the ashtray device of the present invention, the lamp bracket is not attached to the storage case of the ashtray device by the conventional caulking of the rivet, which contributes to a reduction in the number of parts and simplifies the assembly work. It contributes to basicization and, in addition, can be easily replaced at the time of use.
