Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a storage device for storing accessories on the lower surface of the bottom plate of electrical equipment.

Generally, for electrical equipment such as channel dividers, a sheet or plate that describes the operating characteristics of each part is often pasted on the top of the equipment, and similarly, with channel dividers, etc., the user can check the adjustment status of each part. In many cases, you will want to write down a memo and keep it for future reference.

However, the above-mentioned sheets or plates have a limited written content, and there is a risk that the written content may become unclear due to faded letters over time, and memos and the like are easily lost.

For this reason, when putting a channel divider etc. on a card, write the operating characteristics of each part on the card, or write a memo of the adjustment status of each part on the card. It is desirable to store it in the following location.

As a storage device for such a card, it is considered that a case for storing the card is attached to the lower surface of a bottom plate of a channel divider or the like, and several proposals have been made.

However, the lower surface of the bottom plate of a channel divider etc. only has a gap corresponding to the height of the legs, and is required to be a storage device with reasonable functions. The mechanism as a whole was too thick, the device lacked rigidity, and there were other issues that required improvement, such as stiffness in operation when retracting and the spring causing the retractor to pop out suddenly.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a device that has a small number of parts, is easy to assemble, and can form a strong holder part, allowing smooth operation. A slider is attached between the above plate and the lower plate, and this slider is made to slide on a rail member attached to the bottom plate.

Further, between the main mounting piece 23 of the upper plate 20 and the lower mounting piece 24 of the lower plate 21, there is a lever 27 having an engaging claw 26 corresponding to the fixing claw 15 of the fixing member 11.
The lever 27 is rotatably attached by a pin 28, and the lever 27 is constantly biased by a spring 29 in the direction in which the engaging claw 26 engages with the fixed claw 15 (clockwise in FIG. 3).

The operating portion 27a (of this lever (locking member) 27)
The front end) is designed to protrude slightly forward from the upper mounting piece 23 of the upper plate 20 (see FIG. 3).

Furthermore, the cut-out portions 11e, 1 of the rail members 11, 12
As shown in FIG. 3, a tension spring (biasing member) 30.30 is tensioned between the lower plate 2c and the rear plate portion 21c (in the illustrated example, the rear plate portion 21c = 21c) at an appropriate position of the lower plate 21.
Holder part 4 (i.e. slider 16.17, upper plate 2
0, in which the lower plate 21, etc. are integrated) is urged forward.

Numerals 31 and 32 are driver insertion holes for attaching and removing the screws 14 that attach the fixing members 11 and 12 to the bottom plate 2, and 33 is the front plate portion 21d of the lower plate 21.
This is a damper attached to the back surface of 21e.

The operation of the storage device of this invention constructed in this way will be explained below.

In the state shown in the second country and in FIG.
The slider 16.17, the upper plate 20, etc., pushed forward (downward in FIG. 3) by the biasing force and integrally attached to the lower plate 21 by the mounting screws 22, that is, the holder excluding the fixing member 11.12, etc. The entire section A is ready to fly forward.

By the way, a lever 27 is attached between the upper mounting piece 23 and the lower mounting piece 24 of the upper plate 20 and the lower plate 21, and the engaging claw 26 is engaged with the fixed claw 15 of the rail member 11 by the biasing force of the spring 29. Since they are stopped and locked, sliding movement between the fixing member 11.12 and the slider 16.17 is restricted, and the holder portion A is in a stopped state (normal state).

Next, when the operating portion 27a of the lever 27 is rotated about the pin 28 in the release direction and rightward direction (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3) with a finger, the fixing claw 15 is rotated as shown by the chain line in FIG. The engaging pawl 26 is disengaged from the holder, and the entire holder portion A pops out forward as shown by the arrow in FIG. 3 due to the biasing force of the tension springs 30 and 30.

The force that causes this holder part A to pop out is caused by the tension springs 30, 30.
Although it changes depending on the strength of the operation part 27a of the lever 27,
At the same time as you operate it with your fingers, the holder part A begins to move.
At that time, the lever 27 also moves together, so the fingers in the vicinity are also pushed and moved together with the lever 27.

Therefore, when the biasing force of the tension spring 30 is too strong,
When the urging force is normal, the fingers act like applying a brake.

The movement of the holder part A is stopped when the protruding part 20b of the upper plate 20 comes into contact with the rear end of the fixing members 11, 120, and moves at the position of the housing 25 shown by the chain line in FIG. do.

Next, insert a card or the like containing necessary information into the empty space of the holder part A between the upper edge 20c of the upper plate 20 and the lower plate 210, and
If you press 5 backwards (in the opposite direction of the arrow opening in Figure 3),
The dampers 33, 33 attached to the front plate parts 21d, 21e of the lower plate 21 come into contact with the front ends of the fixing members 11, 120, and the movement of the entire holder part A is stopped.

When the holder portion A moves rearward, the engaging claw 26 integrated with the lever 27 comes into contact with the fixing claw 15 of the fixing member 11 to increase resistance.

As shown in FIG. 3, the engaging claw 26 and the fixed claw 15 are formed to have inclined surfaces at their respective contact portions, so that the engaging claw 26 resists the biasing force of the spring 29 when they make contact. The engaging pawl 26 is automatically pushed at the position indicated by the chain line in FIG. 3, and then at the position where the damper 33. It matches.

As the fixing claw 15 and the engaging claw 26 engage with each other in this manner, the holder portion A is locked at the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 2P and FIG. 3.

The lever 27 and the engaging pawl 26 supported on the upper mounting piece 23j and the lower mounting piece 24 should be prevented from rotating more than necessary due to the biasing force of the spring 29 or manual operation.
For example, consideration may be given to bending the upper mounting piece 23 downward to form a steady rest wall, but a description thereof will be omitted below.

In addition, in the illustrated example, the center of gravity of the holder part A is located at the center of the left and right, top and bottom, and front and rear.
In addition, considering the weight of the card stored in the empty space of the holder part A, consideration has been given to a structure in which the sliding part is located slightly lower. Good too.

As is clear from the above explanation, this invention has a structure in which a fixing member is provided on the underside of the bottom plate of the electrical equipment, the holder part is slidably supported on this fixing member, and the fixing member can also be stored in the holder part. Therefore, the entire storage device is easy to install and remove, and it is compact and can be installed in one place, making effective use of a small amount of space.It is strongly constructed with a small number of parts, mainly the slider and upper and lower plates. It also has excellent effects such as being able to position the center of gravity on the line that supports the holder part and allowing smooth operation.
