Abstract

PURPOSE: To prevent the drift of the fitting position of a foot when a structural case is moved and dispense with a positioning jig by providing the stretch center sections of the upper ends of a leg section with vane-shaped sections having hook holes to be coupled with the pawls attached on the structural case, and providing the upper face of the leg section with positioning lugs to be coupled with the insertion holes of the structural case. CONSTITUTION: Vane-shaped sections 3 at the upper ends of a leg section are folded nearly vertically upward, their interval is made equal to the interval between through holes 6 of a bottom plate 2, and hook holes 4 to be coupled with the pawls 7 attached on the bottom plate 2 of a structural case are formed at the center sections of the vane-shaped sections 3. The vane-shaped sections 3 are inserted into the structural case through the through holes 6 of the bottom plate 2 of the structural case and are folded to the outside, and the pawls 7 are coupled with the hook holes 4 and fixed. The positioning lugs 5 are inserted into the through holes 6. A foot 1 is fixed to the bottom plate 2.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structural housing foot for mounting on a bottom surface of a structural housing of an electronic device or the like and stably installing the structural housing on a floor or a table.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of a conventional foot for a structural housing.

Attached to the bottom of a structural enclosure for electronic equipment,
As shown in FIG. 3, a conventional structural body foot for stably installing the structural body on a floor or a table has a structure in which a double-sided adhesive tape 13 is attached to the upper surface of a leg portion 18,
When attaching this to the structural housing, the bottom plate 12 of the structural housing is used.
The attachment position of the foot 11 with respect to is determined by a positioning jig, and the double-sided adhesive tape 13 is attached to the lower surface of the bottom plate 12 for attachment.

[0004]

As described above, since the conventional foot for structural housing is attached to the structural housing by the double-sided adhesive tape, when moving the structural housing with the foot attached, There is a drawback in that the foot may be dragged on the floor or a table and the foot may be displaced from its mounting position. Further, there is a drawback that a positioning jig is required when the foot is attached to the structural case. Furthermore,
There is also a problem that a jig is required to remove the adhesion of the foot when the structural casing is sorted and discarded.

[0005]

A foot for a structural housing according to the present invention is provided with a leg portion and a pulling portion which extends to opposite sides of an upper end of the leg portion and engages with a claw provided in the structural housing at a central portion. A wing-shaped portion having a hanging hole, and a positioning protrusion provided on the upper surface of the leg portion and fitted into an insertion hole provided in the structural housing, and the wing-shaped portion is provided in the structural housing. A certain through hole is passed through, the insertion hole is fitted into the positioning projection to perform positioning, and the hook is engaged with the hooking hole to be fixed.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention together with a bottom plate of a structural housing, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a state in which the embodiment of FIG. 1 is attached to the structural housing.

The structural housing foot 1 shown in FIG.
A leg portion 8 formed of a stretchable material such as rubber, a wing-shaped portion 3 extending to opposite sides of the upper end of the leg portion 8, and a leg portion 8
And a positioning projection 5 provided on the upper surface of the.

The wing-shaped portion 3 is provided at its center with a hooking hole 4 which engages with a claw 7 provided on the bottom plate 2 of the structural housing. After being inserted into the structural housing through the through hole 6 provided in the bottom plate 2, it is bent outward and fixed by engaging the claw 7 with the hooking hole 4. At this time, the positioning projection 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 8 provided in the bottom plate 2 of the structural housing.

When the foot 1 constructed as described above is attached to the bottom plate 2 of the structural housing, the procedure shown in FIG. 2 is performed.

That is, first, as shown in FIG.
The wing-shaped portion 3 is bent substantially vertically upward and the space between the wing-shaped portion 3 and the bottom plate 2
The wing-shaped portion 3 is passed through the through holes 6 so as to match the intervals of the through holes 6. When the foot 1 is further lifted in this state and the upper surface of the leg portion 8 is brought into close contact with the lower surface of the bottom plate 2, the positioning projection 5 is inserted into the insertion hole 8 of the bottom plate 2 as shown in FIG. The position of 1 is positioned. In this state, when the wing-shaped portion 3 is bent substantially horizontally and the claw 7 is engaged with the hooking hole 4, the foot 1 is fixed to the bottom plate 2 as shown in FIG.

When removing the foot 1 from the bottom plate 2, the procedure is reversed. That is, the hook hole 4 and the claw 7
And the wing-shaped portion 3 is placed in a substantially vertically upper state, and the foot 1 is separated from the bottom plate 2 of the structural housing while the wing-shaped portion 3 is pulled out from the through hole 6. This allows the foot 1 to be easily separated from the bottom plate 2.

[0013]

As described above, the foot for the structural housing of the present invention engages with the leg portion and the claws provided on the structural housing at the central portion, projecting to the opposite sides of the upper end of the leg portion. Moving the structural housing with the foot attached by providing a wing-shaped part with hooking holes and positioning protrusions provided on the upper surface of the legs that fit into the insertion holes provided in the structural housing. The foot mounting position does not deviate during installation, the positioning jig is not required when mounting the foot to the structural housing, and no jig is used when the structural housing is sorted and discarded. The effect is that they can be easily separated.
