Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic equipment holding device for installing and holding electronic equipment on a wall surface or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art First, holding of a conventional electronic device shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 will be described.

A required number (two in the figure) of hooks 2 are formed on the back surface of the electronic device 1 so that the screws 3 can be hooked only in one direction. In the center of the hook 2, there is a slit 4 from below.
Is engraved.

When the electronic device 1 is installed on a wall, a pillar or the like, a screw 3 preliminarily screwed up at a desired position on the wall or the pillar is hooked on the hook 2. The neck portion of the screw 3 is fitted in the slit 4, and the entire head portion of the screw 3 is locked by the hook 2, and the electronic device 1 is held.

[0005]

However, in the above-described method for holding an electronic device, when the number of hooks 2 formed on the back surface of the electronic device 1 is two or more as shown in the figure, the hook is installed at the installation location by screwing. Positioning of the screw 3 to be carried out is an on-site work, which is very difficult.

Further, since the screw and the hook are simply held by the weight of the electronic apparatus body due to gravity, vibration,
There is a risk that the electronic device will be disengaged due to impact or the like, and the electronic device may fall off.
There is a problem that the installation location and the installation form are limited.

In view of the above situation, the present invention intends to provide an electronic device holding device which does not require any preparation for installation and can be installed in any place and in any installation form.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a bracket which can be installed at a place where electronic equipment is mounted is provided with a required number of claws and lock levers, and the hooks with which the claws can be engaged and the lock levers can be engaged with each other. The engaging part is provided on the electronic device mounting surface.

[0009]

When the electronic device is mounted on the bracket, when the tab is engaged with the hook, the lock lever engages with the engaging portion and the electronic device is locked. When the electronic device is attached to or detached from the bracket, the lock lever is disengaged from the engaging portion, and the hook is disengaged from the engaging portion.

[0010]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows a bracket for installing electronic equipment. The bracket 6 has a generally rectangular shape, and flanges 7 are formed on the upper and lower outer edges of the bracket 6, respectively, and a hole 9 through which a set screw 8 can pass is formed in the flange 7.

The mounting surface 10 of the bracket 6 is higher than the flange 7, and the mounting surface 1
The claws 11 having the same shape are formed near the four corners of 0, respectively. The claw 11 rises perpendicularly to the mounting surface 10 and is bent 90 degrees in parallel with the mounting surface 10.

Further, a bendable lock lever 12 made of a plate-shaped spring or the like is stamped and formed at a required position on the mounting surface 10. The lock lever 12 extends in a direction opposite to the claw 11, and a base end portion 13 of the lock lever 12 is joined to the mounting surface 10. Further, the lock lever 12 is inclined such that the base end portion 13 is a base end and is gradually separated from the mounted surface 10, and is bent perpendicularly to the mounted surface 10 near the tip, and further the mounted surface 1
The hook portion 15 is formed by refracting in the opposite direction so as to be parallel to 0. In addition, the tip of the lock lever 12 is the mounted surface 10
It is tilted to get closer.

Next, the back surface of the electronic device will be described with reference to FIG.

A required number (four in the figure) of hooks 17 are formed on the rear surface of the electronic device 5, that is, the mounting surface 16 at positions corresponding to the claws 11. The hook 17 is raised in an oval shape from the attachment surface 16, and a rectangular hole 18 into which the claw 11 can be inserted and removed is formed in the central portion so that a bag portion is left above and below the oval shape. There is. Further, vertical slits 19 are formed in the upper and lower bags.

For the sake of convenience, the hook 17 which can be hooked upward will be referred to as 17a and the hook 17b which can be hooked downward will be referred to as 17b.

Further, on the mounting surface 16, there are two sawtooth convex shapes which the lock lever 12 can engage with, that is, a position corresponding to the lock lever 12 provided on the bracket 6 and a position symmetrical with the position. The engagement protrusions 20a and 20b are provided. still,
Reference numeral 21 in the figure is a non-slip member made of rubber or the like.

Next, referring to FIGS. 1 and 4 to 6, the mounting / dismounting of the electronic device to / from the bracket will be described.

When the electronic device 5 is mounted on the bracket 6, the claw 11 is inserted into the rectangular hole 18 of the hook 17 and further pushed down in the direction of arrow 23 in FIG. 6 (a). The claw 11 is engaged with the bag portion of the hook 17a, the hook 17a and the claw 11 are hooked, and the lock lever 1
The second hook portion 15 engages with the engagement protrusion 20a and is locked (see FIG. 4). Since the electronic device 5 is held by the bracket 6 (see FIG. 1) and locked, it will not fall off even if there is vibration or the like.

When the electronic device 5 is attached to or detached from the bracket 6, the tip portion 14 of the lock lever 12 is fixed to the position shown in FIGS.
As shown in (b), if you push in the direction of arrow 22 with your fingers,
The engagement between the hook portion 15 and the engagement protrusion 20a is released. When the lock lever 12 is pushed in, the electronic device 5 is pulled up as shown by an arrow 24 in FIG. 6C, and further pulled out to complete the mounting / dismounting.

In the above description of the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the electronic device 5 is installed in a standing state on a wall surface or the like. However, according to the present invention, FIG. As shown in FIG. 7C, it can be installed on the ceiling, or can be installed upside down on a wall or the like. When installed in an inverted state, the claw 11 of the bracket 6 engages with the bag portion of the hook 17b, the hook 17b and the claw 11 engage with each other, and the hook portion 15 engages with the engaging projection 20b. The electronic device 5 is held by the bracket 6 by being locked.

Further, according to the present invention, when the bracket 17 is installed on a horizontal plane such as a floor or a desk, the hook 17 also serves as a leg, and the non-slip member 21 ensures stable installation. Even if the bracket is not attached, the neck 19 such as a nail or a screw can be fitted into the slit 19 of the hook 17 to hold the hook 17 as usual.

In the above embodiment, the engaging portion provided on the mounting surface of the electronic device is a saw-tooth convex engaging protrusion, but a concave portion into which the hook portion of the lock lever is fitted is formed on the mounting surface. Good.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, not only the hook and the hook are hooked but also the lock mechanism is provided by the engagement of the hook portion of the lock lever and the engaging projection, so that the electronic device can be installed. It can be mounted without selecting the location and installation form, and can be easily mounted and removed, and it is possible to prevent the electronic device from being dropped or damaged due to vibration or shock.
