Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a resin protector that is attached to an exterior panel surface of an audio device or the like.

Conventionally, this type of protector has been formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape by molding, but the molding conditions have been strict to suppress molding deflection as much as possible.

However, this had its limits, and there were variations in mass production.

In addition, if the protective body is formed strongly, there is a drawback that the cost increases due to the need for extra raw materials.

This invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.
To provide a protector for an exterior panel in which molding deflection of the protector is corrected by attaching the protector to the exterior panel.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In the figure, 1 is an exterior panel of an audio device, etc., and 2 is a synthetic resin protective body formed by molding.

The external shape of this protector 2 is a rectangular parallelepiped, with a front wall 3 and an upper wall 4.
and left and right side walls 5a, 5b, and the interior is empty.
It has become hollow.

Further, the rear surface 6 and the lower surface 7 of the protector 2 are open.

Reference numerals 8 and 9 indicate attachment parts for attaching the protector 2 to the exterior panel 1, and these attachment parts 8 and 9 are located on the back side of the front wall 3, respectively.
It protrudes toward the rear surface 6 from near the side walls 5a and 5b, and its rear end slightly protrudes from the rear surface 6, and a female screw 11 into which a male screw 10 is screwed is carved on the rear end surface.

On the other hand, the exterior panel 1 has insertion holes 12 at positions corresponding to the above-mentioned mounting parts 8 and 9, into which the mounting parts 8 and 9 are respectively inserted.
is formed, but if one of the insertion holes 12 is a round hole,
The other insertion hole 12 is formed into a horizontal long hole.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a protrusion, and the protrusion 13 is inside the protector 1 and protrudes in a plate shape from the corner of the front wall 3 and the upper wall 4 toward the rear surface 6. It protrudes beyond the panel thickness of the exterior panel 1.

Further, it is necessary that the protrusion 13, especially the upper and lower portions of the rear end 13a, have the same width.

On the other hand, a window hole 14 into which the projection 13 is inserted is formed in the exterior panel 1 at a position corresponding to the projection 13 described above. The lower edge 13 of the rear end 13a inserted when the protector 2 has no molding bending and the upper wall 4 is a horizontal surface.
It is necessary to form it at a position where b can come into contact with ease.

The present invention is constructed as described above, and in order to attach the protector 2 to the exterior panel 1, first, the rear surface 6 of the protector 2 is directed toward the exterior panel 1, and the rear ends of the mounting parts 8 and 9 are connected to the protrusions. Part 1
3 to the insertion hole 12 of the exterior panel 1, respectively.
After inserting into the window hole 14, the protective body 2 is fixed to the exterior panel 1 by screwing the male screws 10 into the female screws 11 of the mounting parts 8 and 9 from the back side of the exterior panel 1 and tightening them.

The above-mentioned installation is performed when the protector 2 has no molded bending. Next, as shown in FIG. The installation operation of the curved protector 2 (indicated by the dashed line) will be described.

In this case, when inserting the rear end 13a of the projection 13 of the protector 2 into the window hole 14 of the exterior panel 1, if you lift the rear end 13'a and insert it, the lower edge 13b of the rear end 13a will fit into the window hole 14.
4, the upper wall 3 of the protector 2 is corrected horizontally.

The following operations are the same as those already described, so they will be omitted.

As mentioned above, in this invention, by attaching the protector 2 to the exterior panel 1, the molding deflection of the protector 2 can be corrected. There is no need to do this, and therefore the cost is low, making it ideal for mass production.
