Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] An object of the present invention is to provide a front panel that can be easily applied to a front glass having a curved shape while easily providing a blinding effect when attaching the front glass to the front panel. [Structure] When the front glass 13 is attached to the display window 12 of the front panel body 11, the front glass 13 is adhered via a double-sided adhesive tape 15 of the same color as the panel body 11, so that the conventionally required front glass 13 Abolish black solid silk printing on the back side.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a front panel in an audio cabinet.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 For example, in a front panel of an audio cabinet such as a stereo, as shown in FIG. 3, a display window 2 such as a digital display is opened in the center of the front panel 1, and a transparent resin such as acrylic resin is provided in the display window 2. Alternatively, a front glass 3 made of a translucent resin is attached.

On the back surface of the front glass 3, black solid silk printing is applied on the back surface of the front panel 1 in order to cover the FL tube (fluorescent display tube) or the like from the light emitting portion, and the printed surface 4 is printed. In reality, the front glass 3 is attached to the peripheral edge portion 2a of the display window 2 via the double-sided adhesive tape 5.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in order to attach the front glass 3 of the transparent resin or the semi-transparent resin to the conventional front panel 1, black solid silk printing is performed to give a blinding function, and then the both are bonded via the double-sided adhesive tape 5. Since it is fixed, printing defects such as misalignment and scaling may occur during silk printing, and foreign matter may be mixed in, and the gate used may be cracked or eroded by the solvent used for silk printing. Such problems have been pointed out.

Further, although solid silk printing can be easily applied to a flat surface, printing cannot be performed in the case of a curved surface, so the shape of the windshield 3 cannot be set to a curved surface, and the front panel 1 has a large degree of freedom in shaping. I was constrained.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a windshield made of transparent resin in a front panel used for an audio device such as a stereo. The objective is to provide a front panel for an acoustic cabinet that can be easily mounted on the main body and at the same time dramatically improves the freedom of shaping of the front panel body.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises a front panel body having a display window and a windshield installed on the display window and attached to the front panel body through a double-sided adhesive tape of the same color as the front panel body. It is characterized by

[0008]

[Action]

 As is clear from the above configuration, the front glass is adhered to the mounting portion of the front panel body at the peripheral edge of the display window via the double-sided adhesive tape of the same color as the panel body. The front glass will not be adversely affected when it is displayed digitally.

Further, even if the front glass and the mounting portion of the front glass are set to have a curved surface shape, solid printing is technically difficult as in the past, but both sides can be easily attached via a double-sided adhesive tape. Can be fixed by adhesion.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of a front panel of an audio cabinet according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a stereo front panel, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the structure of the front panel.

Referring to FIG. 1, a stereo front panel 10 according to the present invention includes a front panel body 11 made of a black resin molded body and an acrylic resin attached to a display window 12 provided at substantially the center of the front panel body 11. It is generally composed of a transparent or semi-transparent windshield 13 made of, for example.

By the way, a feature of the present invention resides in that the front glass 13 is simply and aesthetically fixed to the front panel body 11 by adhesive bonding.

That is, in the case of the present embodiment, a concave portion 14 that conforms to the outer shape of the front glass 13 is provided in the peripheral edge of the display window 12 of the front panel body 11, and the front glass 13 is fitted and fixed in the concave portion 14. At the same time, a double-sided adhesive tape 15 of the same color as the front panel body 11 is used to bond the two.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the front glass 13 is bonded through the double-sided adhesive tape 15 of the same color as the front panel body 11 (black in this embodiment), the FL inside the front panel 10 is adhered. When the light from the tube (fluorescent display tube) 16 passes through the windshield 13, the double-sided adhesive tape 15 can be expected to have the same blinding effect as the conventional black solid silk printing. Can be abolished.

Therefore, it is possible to eliminate problems such as positional deviation, defective scaling, and foreign matter contamination that accompany solid-silk printing, and it is possible to expect a significant cost reduction by reducing the number of processes.

Further, the conventional black solid silk printing is applied only to the flat surface, but when the double-sided adhesive tape 15 of the same color as the front panel body 11 is used as in the present invention, the front glass 13 and this Even if the mounting portion of the front glass 13 is set to have a curved shape, it does not hinder the mounting of the front glass 13, so that it is possible to set the front panel 10 to have a curved shape, and the front panel 10 can be formed with a greater degree of freedom. It has the advantage of dramatically improving.

[0018]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the front panel of the audio cabinet according to the present invention has the following special effects.

(1) By using the double-sided adhesive tape of the same color as the front panel body, the conventional black solid silk printing can be abolished, and there are no defects such as misregistration, scaling, or foreign matter mixing related to printing. Furthermore, it has the effect of significantly reducing costs by eliminating the printing process.

(2) Since the double-sided adhesive tape of the same color as the front panel body is used instead of the conventional black solid silk printing, the front glass can be adhered even if the front glass is set in a curved shape. This has the effect of dramatically improving the degree of freedom in shape.
