Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in an operating knob insertion guide for an electronic device having an operating knob installed on the front surface of a tape recorder, for example.

Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of operating knobs 1 installed on the front of an electronic device are installed in parallel and at regular intervals, while a square hole 3 larger than the operating knob 1 is formed in the chassis 2. After the operating knob 1 is guided and operated into the square hole 3, the decorative panel is covered.

The necessity of doing this was created by focusing on the unreasonableness of having to assemble the decorative panel after correcting the spacing between the operation heirs to the above-mentioned spacing during assembly, since the spacing between the operation heirs would not be as designed. is set in advance to facilitate assembly.

However, if the intervals between the operating knobs installed in parallel are close together,
It becomes difficult to provide the partition portion 4.

Since the square hole 3 is usually formed by a press or the like, the partition part 4
There is a certain limit to the width of (see Figure 2).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, unless a partition is provided, there is virtually no practical benefit in guiding and inserting the operating knob 1 into the square hole 3.

Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 4, a linear member 5 is joined to the chassis 2 to maintain the distance between the operation knobs 1 which are very close to each other.

However, in this case, the number of work steps will increase.

In view of the above points, it is an object of the present invention to maintain a distance between operating heirs that are very close to each other using an extremely simple structure, thereby facilitating assembly and lowering the height.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 5 is a front view of an operating handle insertion guide showing an example of the present invention.

In this example, triangular protrusions 6 are provided above and below between adjacent operating knobs 1 in order to maintain the distance between the operating heirs, instead of separately providing a linear member as in the past. .

The distance a between the upper and lower projections 6 is set to be slightly smaller than the thickness b of the operating knob 1.

The shape of the protrusion 6 can be other shapes.

The protrusion 6 can be formed when the square hole 7 is pressed.

Next, the assembly procedure will be described with reference to FIG. 6. Reference numeral 8 indicates a switch connected to the operating knob 3, 9 indicates a connecting plate, and 10 indicates a decorative panel.

First, the operating knob 1 is inserted into the square hole 7 of the chassis 2.

Due to the presence of the protrusion 6, the distance between the operating knobs 1 which are very close to each other is maintained.

Thereafter, since the corner JL10a of the decorative panel 10 and the operating knob 1 are in the same position, assembly can be easily performed.

Incidentally, when the operating knob 1 is not in a straight line with the switch 8 and the connecting plate 9 is deformed as shown in FIG. 6, the square hole 7 having the protrusion 6 as in the present invention is particularly effective. .

As described above, according to the present invention, the protrusion that maintains the distance between a plurality of adjacent legitimate children is integrally formed in the square hole drilled in the chassis of an electronic device, so that the legitimate children are inserted into the square hole. Then, due to the presence of the protrusions, it is possible to set a predetermined distance between a plurality of adjacent legitimate children, and as a result, subsequent assembly of the decorative panel becomes extremely easy, making the work more convenient.

Moreover, since the protrusion is formed integrally with the square hole using a press or the like, it has the practical effect of allowing the entire electronic device to be provided in a lower position.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] In a rectangular hole drilled in a chassis of an electronic device, into which operating knobs whose front faces are formed into a rectangular shape such as a rectangle or a square are inserted and guided, the distance between the operating knobs is maintained. In order to insert a knob into an electronic device, a protrusion is formed on the opposite surface of the square hole corresponding to the adjacent operating knob so that the gap is slightly smaller than the thickness of the operating knob. guide.
