Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle device in which a cover rotates in a box, and more particularly to improvement of a cover opening / closing mechanism.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gripping device is provided on the side surface of these structures in order to make it possible to carry home electric appliances such as televisions and furniture. As a conventional example of this handle device, there is, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-69978. This conventional device includes a housing having a recess into which a hand can be inserted, and a lower end of the housing rotatably supported by a shaft.
A cover (lid body) that opens and closes the opening surface of the recess is provided, and a pivot pin is provided between the housing and the cover.

With this structure, the conventional device resists the biasing force of the pin deformed between the housing and the cover, and when the cover is pushed into the housing by the finger of the hand, the cover is moved into the housing. It turns to allow the fingers to be inserted into the recesses of the housing. When the fingers of the hand are pulled out from the housing, the restoring force of the pin causes the cover to return to the position where it closes the recess of the housing.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since the pivot pin is required, there is a problem that the number of parts is increased and assembly is complicated. Therefore, as described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 4-23166, an elastic piece integrally formed obliquely downward from the inclined lower end of the housing is provided between the housing and the cover, and the elastic member deformed between the housing and the cover is provided. There is a conventional example in which the cover is returned by the restoring force of one piece and the pin is unnecessary.

[0005]

However, in the latter conventional example, it is necessary to largely bend the elastic piece between the housing and the lid in order to obtain a predetermined urging force. There was a problem that it occupies a large space. If this space becomes large, there is a drawback that the handle device expands in the thickness direction and becomes large in size.

On the other hand, in a structure of a home electric appliance or the like, for example, a television set, conventionally, after the grip device is set, the structure of the structure is exteriorly coated with the grip device, and then the cathode ray tube is attached. However, in recent years, the structure tends to be miniaturized, and there is a problem that the assembly of the structure is hindered, for example, a component such as a cathode ray tube collides with the grip device after the grip device is assembled.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a handle device which is compact in structure for rotating the cover with a predetermined restoring force. Another object of the present invention is to provide a handle device which does not hinder the assembly of a structure such as a home electric appliance even when the structure is downsized.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a box fixed to a structure such as a home electric appliance and having a cavity inside, and rotatably supported in the box. A handle for opening and closing the inlet of the cavity, wherein a torsion bar having one end fixed and the other end connected to the cover is provided in a rotation axis direction of the cover. To do.

The cover may be rotatably supported by the box, and one end of the torsion bar may be fixed to the box, or
The cover may be directly rotatably supported with respect to the structure, and one end of the torsion bar may be fixed to the structure. Further, the box may be formed separately from the cover and assembled from the inside of the structure.

[0010]

According to the present invention, since the torsion bar is provided in the rotation axis direction of the cover and one end of the torsion bar is fixed to the cover and the other end is fixed to the structure or the box, the cover is attached to the box. When it is rotated toward the cavity, the torsion bar is twisted and twist stress is generated. This torsional stress serves as a restoring force when returning the cover to the original position before rotation. As described above, in the handle device of the present invention, the restoring force for the cover is obtained by the torsion on the axis of the torsion bar, so that the handle device can be made compact.

Further, according to the present invention, since the cover is rotatably supported on the structure and one end of the torsion bar is fixed to the structure, the cover and the box are separate members. Can be configured and assembled individually. Therefore, after the cover is attached to the structure, parts such as a cathode ray tube can be attached to the structure, and then the box can be attached to the structure from the back of the structure. As a result, when assembling the parts into the structure,
There is no risk of impeding the assembly of a finished product such as a TV by avoiding a collision between the box and parts.

EXAMPLES Next, examples of the present invention will be described. Figure 1
[Fig. 3] is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of a handle device. The handle device includes a box 10 having a cavity 42, which will be described later, formed therein, and a cover 12 pivotally supported by the box 10 and freely rotatable in the cavity. Each of the box 10 and the cover 12 is integrally formed of synthetic resin.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the cover 12 includes a lid body 14 for opening and closing the open end (entrance) of the box, and an upper edge body 16 extends from the upper end of the lid body 14 to the box side. Has been issued. Similarly, from both side ends of the lid body 14, side edge bodies 18 that become thinner toward the lower side of the lid body 14 extend toward the box side.

A downward L-shaped fixed leg 20 is integrally formed at the lower end of the side edge body 18, and a rotary shaft 2 having a short circular cross section extending outward from the lower end of the outer surface of the fixed leg 20.
2 is projected. Fixed leg 20 on the right side of FIG.
In addition, a torsion bar 24 is provided integrally with the rotary shaft 22 and is provided in the rotary shaft direction of the lid 14 toward the rotary shaft 22 on the other side.

The tip of the torsion bar 24 is bent at a right angle to the opposite side of the lid 14 slightly before reaching the other fixed leg 20, and a notch 66 is formed on the bottom surface of the box.
It forms a fixed arm 26 that is fitted to (described later). This fixed arm 2
6 forms a fixed end of the torsion bar,
It has a substantially circular cross section that is larger than that of the rotating shaft 22, and the lower half of the base end portion 28 and the tip end portion 30 is cut out, and the fixing leg 26 is formed in the notch formed on the bottom surface of the box. Fitting grooves 32, 34 are formed which allow the lower halves to fit together. Therefore, one end of the torsion bar 24 is fixed to the cover 12 integrally with the rotary shaft 22 at the lower end of the fixed leg 20 and the other end of the notch 66 of the box 10.
Will be fixed to.

When the cover 12 is restored by the torsional force of the torsion bar 24, the cover 12 pivots to the outside of the box at two positions near the box of the upper edge body 16 when the cover 12 is restored by the torsional force of the torsion bar 24. A locking projection 36 is provided so as to prevent the locking from happening. This locking protrusion 36
The upper edge body 16 is formed in an inverted C-shape in the extending direction, and a locking claw 38 is integrally projecting upward in the tip end thereof. The lid 14 side of the locking claw 38 is formed with a flat surface 40, and the flat surface engages with a part of the box to restrict further rotation of the cover.

Next, the box 10 will be described. 5 is a front view of the box 10, FIG. 6 is its plan view, and FIG.
Is a left side view thereof, and FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line VIII-VIII of FIG. The box 10 has an open front surface and a hollow interior 4
It has a box shape of 2, and this opening serves as an inlet 44 for inserting a finger into the cavity 42. The inlet 44 is formed to be slightly larger than the lid 14 of the cover 12 to allow the cover to freely rotate in the cavity. The floor wall 46 of the box 10 is formed so as to incline upward as it goes in the depth direction of the box, and the upper wall 48 is a plane 50 up to a substantially middle portion, and the inward side is inclined upward. It is formed on the surface 52.

The inner wall 54 of the box 10 is formed by a curved surface 56 that descends in an R shape from the end of the inclined surface 52 and a curved surface 58 that rises in an approximately R shape from the end of the floor wall 46. Has been done. In this way, the back side of the upper wall 48 of the box 10 is the inclined surface 52, and the back wall 54 has the curved surface 56. Therefore, when the finger is inserted into the box, The first joint is the inclined surface 52.
Since the R-shaped tip of the finger matches the curved surface 56, the feel when the finger is inserted becomes good.

The upper wall 48 of the box 10 is shown in FIG.
A cover 1 that pivots within the cavity of the box, as shown in FIG.
A notch 62 is provided to allow the locking projection 36 of No. 2 to project from the outer wall 60. This cutout is
It is formed at two positions corresponding to the locking projections 36 of the cover 12 when the cover 12 is pivotally supported on the box. Further, on the back surface 54 of the box 10, as a relief for the locking projection 36 of the rotating cover 12, retreat surfaces 64 that are further retracted are formed at two positions corresponding to the locking projection 36. Has been done.

On the right side of the floor wall 46 of the box 10 in the drawing, a notch 66 for fitting with the fixed arm 26 of the torsion bar 24 is formed. Furthermore, at the entrance 44 of the box 10, as shown in FIG. 9, the box 10 is provided in a recess 70 in a housing 68 of a home electric appliance such as a television.
A flange 72 that engages with a box attachment 70A that is provided around the concave portion when the is attached is provided around. Specifically, the box attachment 70A is the housing 68.
Is projected from the inner surface toward the inner side of the end of the
Is bent at a right angle toward the box side.

The flange 72 has its end 76 bent toward the back of the box. Therefore, when the flange 72 is engaged with the box fixture 70A, the flange end 76 and the fixture end 74 are engaged with each other, and the projection 80 from the housing 68 is inserted into the recess 78 formed in the middle of the upper flange 72A. The box 10 can be fixed to the inside of the housing 68 by engaging with each other.

Further, between the upper wall 48 of the box and the upper flange 72A, a plurality of inclined flange reinforcing ribs 82 are formed so as to become higher toward the upper flange.
Further, below the rear surface of both lateral flanges 72B of the box, a semi-cylindrical groove 8 into which the shaft 22 of the cover 12 is fitted.
4 is formed, and a semi-doughnut-shaped boss portion 86 cut out in a semi-circular shape into which the shaft 22 can be fitted is provided at the lower end of the outer surface of both side walls 85 of the box. Therefore, by fitting the shaft 22 of the cover 12 into the shallow groove 84 via the boss portion 86, the cover 12 is rotatably supported by the box 10.

When the cover 12 is attached to the box 10, the fixed arm 26 of the torsion bar 24 is attached to the box 1.
The cover 12 is pushed into the cavity 42 of the box 10 while sliding along the floor wall 46 that is formed in an inclined shape of 0. At this time, when both fixing legs 20 of the cover are elastically deformed in a direction of bringing them closer to each other, the shaft 22 fits into the shallow groove 84 with a moderation feeling and, at the same time, the torsion bar 24.
The fixed arm 26 also fits into the notch 66 with a sense of moderation.
In this state, the engaging claw 38 is in contact with the top surface of the inlet 44 of the cover 10. However, when the cover is further pushed toward the box side, the upper surface of the engaging claw 38 is formed into a slope shape, The engaging pawl 38 elastically deforms and rides over the cover entrance 44.

When the engaging claw 38 comes to a position corresponding to the notch 62 formed on the upper wall of the box, the front surface 40 of the engaging claw is elastically restored and the front surface 40 of the engaging claw has a feeling of moderation.
Engage with the bottom edge of the back of 2A. This state is a state in which the cover 12 closes the inlet 44 of the box 10 as shown by the solid line in FIG. 9.

When the cover is attached to the box, the floor wall 46 of the box is inclined and the fixed arm 26 of the torsion bar is inclined at the same inclination angle, so that the torsion bar 24 is about 16 ° in the illustrated embodiment. It is twisted. Therefore, since the cover 12 is urged to the upper flange 72A with an appropriate force, the cover 12 is urged toward the outside of the box at the entrance 44 of the box, and the cover is completely entangled without fluttering the box. Can be closed.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When a finger of the hand is inserted into the box when the apparatus of this embodiment is used, the finger of the hand pushes the cover 12 and the cover starts to rotate into the cavity 44 of the box, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. . At this time, the torsion bar 24 is further twisted, and the torque tends to be transmitted to the box via the torsional stress of the torsion bar. At this time, since the box 10 is fixed to the housing 68, the twist of the torsion bar remains as it is, and this twist causes the cover 2 to rotate.
It becomes a biasing force when rotating around 2. When the cover is pushed against this biasing force, the entrance 44 of the box is opened, and when a finger is further inserted through this open entrance, the finger reaches the back of the box, and the finger is placed on the top surface of the box. You can hang it on your home appliances to lift them.

After that, by pulling out the finger from the box, the twisting force of the torsion bar tries to restore the cover toward the entrance of the box. As for the cover, the front flat surface 40 of the locking claw passes through the notch 64 toward the entrance of the box about the shaft 22 and the upper flange 72A.
It rotates back until it touches the lower end of.

Here, the biasing force and the restoring force of a predetermined magnitude given to the cover are obtained by the torsion on the axis of the torsion bar. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide an elastic piece and bend the elastic piece between the cover and the box as in the conventional handle device, and the handle device can be made compact. In particular, in order to obtain a relatively strong urging force and restoring force, it is necessary to make the elastic piece large and bend the elastic piece in the conventional handle device, which inevitably causes the handle device to become large. When this is done by twisting the torsion bar, it is only necessary to change the cross-sectional area of the torsion bar, etc., so that the compactness of the handle device can be maintained in any case.

The torsional elasticity of the torsion bar can be easily adjusted by appropriately selecting the sectional shape and length of the torsion bar and the material of the torsion bar. Therefore, the restoring force and the urging force should be properly balanced. You can If you try to increase the restoring force of the cover, the biasing force against the cover will also increase and you will feel resistance when inserting your fingers into the box, but by balancing the restoring force and the biasing force appropriately It becomes easy to remove a strong resistance.

That is, the longer the distance between the fixed points of the torsion bar (the length of the torsion bar (indicated by H in FIG. 1)) is, the smaller the twisted angle is. Therefore, the cover is rotated by lengthening the torsion bar. The urging force when the cover is rotated can be adjusted to the decreasing side, and the urging force when the cover is rotated can be adjusted to the increasing side by shortening the torsion bar. Further, by decreasing the cross-sectional area of the torsion bar, the biasing force can be adjusted to the decreasing side, and by increasing the cross-sectional area, the biasing force can be adjusted to the increasing side. Furthermore, the biasing force and the restoring force can be adjusted also by the section modulus of the torsion bar. The urging force can be adjusted to the increasing side with a rectangular cross section having a large section coefficient, and the urging force can be adjusted to the decreasing side with a circular cross section.

Furthermore, the biasing force and the restoring force can be adjusted by selecting the resin raw material to be used. For example, ABS resin has a higher bending elastic modulus than polystyrene resin and polyethylene resin, and the biasing force can be adjusted to the increasing side.

Next, a second embodiment will be described. Figure 1
0 is a second embodiment in which the cross section of the torsion bar is rectangular. In this actual example, the restoring force for the cover can be increased as compared with the above-described embodiment. Further, FIG. 11 shows a third embodiment of the torsion bar. In this embodiment, the fixed arm 26 of the torsion bar is bent in a U shape. With this configuration, when the cover is rotated into the box, not only the torsion bar is twisted but also the U-shaped portion is crushed and elastically deformed. Therefore, since the torsional force and the elastic force of the torsion bar act on the cover, the restoring force on the cover can be increased. The third embodiment is effective when only the torsion bar has a weak restoring force for the cover.

FIG. 12 is a box 1 showing a fourth embodiment.
0 is an exploded perspective view of the cover 12 and 0, showing that a torsion bar 24 having a rectangular cross section is integrally formed on the box side. That is, a torsion bar is extended from one end of the lower end of the box 10 in parallel with the box, and the fixed arm 26 of the torsion bar is bent at a right angle to the side opposite to the box. When the cover is attached to the box, if the fixing arm is deformed vertically upward and fixed to the back surface of the cover, the torsion bar is twisted, and the cover can be constantly urged toward the entrance 44 side of the box. it can.

Then, when a finger is inserted into the cavity of the box and the cover is rotated into the cavity of the box, the fixed arm 26 of the torsion bar falls into the cavity of the box as the cover rotates, and the torsion bar is further twisted. When the finger is pulled out from the box, the cover can be restored to the initial position due to the restoring force generated at this time. The angle (θ) formed by the fixed arm 26 of the torsion bar and the vertical axis 90 can be appropriately selected. Thereby, the force for urging the cover can be adjusted.

13 to 21 show a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, while the cover 12 of the above-described embodiment is rotatably supported by the box 10, the cover 12 is directly rotatably supported by the frame 92 different from the box 10. It is the one. As will be described later in detail, the frame body 92 is fixed to the structure body 68, so that the cover 12 is rotatably supported by the structure body, not by the box.

The cover shown in FIG. 14 is different from that of the first embodiment in that the torsion bar 24 has a rectangular cross section and ends linearly before reaching the rotating shaft 22 on one side. . The rotary shaft 22 of this cover is fitted to a bearing portion 104 of the frame body 92, which will be described later.

FIG. 15 is a front view of the frame body 92 fitted in the structure, FIG. 16 is a side view of the frame body 92, and FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the frame body 92. This frame 92 has a cover 12
The opening 94 is formed to be slightly larger than the lid 14 of the above, and the fitting piece 100 projects from the lower frame 96 of the frame 92 toward the upper side of the housing.
The distal end of the torsion bar 24 is non-rotatably fitted and fixed in the rectangular groove 98 (see FIG. 18) in 00. This rectangular groove 98 is formed in a square opening matching the shape of the torsion bar, and this square opening is formed for a torsion bar which is not pre-twisted by a predetermined angle θ as shown in FIG. It is formed by rotating.

A cylindrical groove 104 for rotatably supporting the shaft 22 of the cover 12 is provided on both sides of the lower frame 96 of the frame body 92.
A boss portion 104A having a shape is formed (see FIGS. 15 and 1).
6, 17). The rotary shaft 22 of the cover 12 is fitted into the groove 104 of the boss portion 104A of the frame body 92. Following that,
The torsion bar 24 is fitted into the fitting groove 98 of the fitting piece 100. This allows the cover to be assembled to the frame. 20 and 21 show a state in which the cover 12 is fixed to the frame body 92. At this time, the torsion bar 24
Is twisted and fixed by a predetermined angle θ. Therefore, similarly to the first embodiment, even when the cover is not rotated, the cover is biased toward the front end face side of the frame body 92, and the locking projection 36 thereof has an appropriate stress and is placed on the frame body 92. Frame 1
06 is engaged.

As shown in FIG. 13, the upper frame 106 and the lower frame 96 of the frame body 92 are integrally attached to the mounting member 107 so as to project from the inner surface of the housing 68 toward the box 10.
It is adapted to be engaged with a recessed portion 108 near the front surface inside, and extends from the housing 68 toward the box 10 side in a recessed portion 110 (see FIG. 15) formed near the front surface in the upper part of the side frame 92A of the frame body 92. The protrusion 80 is adapted to be engaged. Thereby, the frame body 92 can be fixed to the inside of the housing 68.

FIG. 19 shows a side view of the box 10. The box 10 is constructed separately from the cover 12, and is fixed to the housing after the frame 92 to which the cover 12 is assembled is assembled. Since the torsion bar 24 of the cover is fixed to the frame, the box is not provided with the notch 66 for fixing the torsion bar as shown in the first embodiment.

Further, the flange 72 of the box 10
Engages with a recess 109 near the box of the fixture 107 of the housing. This allows the box 10 to be fixed to the housing 68 by allowing the flange 72 to engage the recess 109 with respect to the housing 68.

According to this sixth embodiment, the box 10
Is fixed to the housing 68 from the inside separately from the cover, so the cover is attached to the TV housing through the frame, the exterior of the TV housing is painted, and then the
Parts such as a cathode ray tube can be assembled from the inside of the housing, and then the box can be attached to the housing. Therefore, even when the structure is miniaturized and there is no room for space inside, there is no hindrance to the assembly. In this embodiment, the cover is mounted on the housing via the frame, but it is not always necessary to do so and the cover may be mounted directly on the housing.

22 to 28 show a seventh embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 24, the support portion 9 of the frame 92 on which the rotary shaft 22 of the cover 12 is rotatably supported.
In 0A, the rotating shaft of the cover 12 has an engaging groove 84 in the support portion 90A, and the engaging groove is partially opened near the box 10, and the rotating shaft 22 is accommodated through this opening. . Further, the support portion 90A has a corner portion 112 having an angle at which the front surface side of the engaging groove spreads toward the box side, and is entirely formed in a hook shape.

As shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, hemispherical protrusions 114 are integrally formed on the lower box side of the fixed legs 20 on both the left and right sides of the cover 12. 25, 2
As shown in FIG. 8, when the box 10 is assembled to the housing 68, the cover 1 that is to be placed later in the housing 68 is provided at a portion of the side surface 116 of the box 10 corresponding to the protrusion.
It is provided with a step portion 118 that pushes in the two protruding portions 114. The other points are the same as those described in the sixth embodiment.

In the seventh embodiment, the shape of the support portion 90A is a partially opened hook shape, and the engaging groove 84 accommodates the rotary shaft of the cover therein, so that the cover 12 is framed. When the shaft 22 is fixed to the body 92, the shaft 22 is not completely engaged in the groove 84, and is positioned closer to the box in the shaft 22 groove 84 in the initial stage of housing the shaft 22. . As shown in FIG. 26, the cover 12 is a housing 68.
It will be in a state of being put out inside the.

Next, when the box 10 is assembled to the housing 68, the step portion 118 causes the protruding portion 1 of the cover 12 to move.
14, the cover 12 is pushed toward the front of the housing 68 as shown in FIG. This allows
The shaft 22 comes into contact with the corner portion 112 of the groove 84 and is rotatably supported here.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when the box 10 is not fixed to the housing 68, the cover 12 is retracted inside the housing 68, and the box 10 is already fixed to the housing. If it is, the cover 12 will be in a state of being moved until it is almost at the same position as the front surface of the housing. Therefore, it is easy to observe whether the box is already mounted or not mounted from the outside to prevent forgetting to assemble the box. You can

FIG. 29 is a side sectional view of a handle device according to still another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 30 is a side view of the box 10 according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the box 10 to which the cover 12 shown in the embodiment of FIG. 1 is attached can be attached from the outside of the housing. Claws 1 protruding on the lower surface and the left and right side surfaces
Equipped with 20.

When the handle device is pushed into the housing from the outside of the housing through the opening, the claw portions are elastically deformed to allow the handle device to be inserted into the housing and engage with the housing 68 with a moderation feeling. To do. For this,
According to such a handle device, as shown in the above-described embodiment, a mounting portion for fixing the cover or the box to the inside of the housing is not required, and the handle device has a simple structure.

The torsion bar may be provided on both the box and the cover. Still further, the torsion bar can be configured separately from the box and cover. Further, in the above embodiment, the locking protrusion can be omitted. At this time, the restoring force applied to the torsion bar at the position where the cover closes the box becomes zero, and the fixing leg 22 of the torsion bar may be fixed instead of being fitted to the box. By doing so, even when the cover is rotated in the direction opposite to the box side, there is no risk that the fixed leg 22 of the torsion bar will separate from the box, and the cover will return to the position where it closes the box.

[0051]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a handle device having a compact structure for rotating the cover with a predetermined restoring force. Further, even when the structure of a home electric appliance or the like is downsized, it is possible to prevent a trouble such as a collision with a component.
