Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to cabinet coupling devices used in radio receivers, stereo devices and other equipment. It has become common to see devices in which a device body housing a receiving circuit, a stereo circuit, etc., and a speaker box housing a speaker are formed separately, and these are removably connected.

By the way, in conventional radio receivers and stereo devices of this type, the cabinet coupling device that removably connects the main body of the device and the speaker box to each other has a relatively complicated structure, and the state of the coupling is difficult. However, there was a relatively large amount of wobbling.

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional art, and to provide a bonded state that can be easily constructed, can be easily joined, and has relatively little rattling. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an excellent cabinet coupling device that can perform the following functions.

Structure of the Invention The present invention includes integrally forming lips on the side surfaces of one of the cabinets to be connected to each other, each having a locking portion at the outer end thereof, and fitting a groove formed in the other cabinet into the lip, and connecting the other cabinet to the other cabinet. This cabinet is constructed so that several cabinets can be detachably attached to one of the above-mentioned cabinets.

The explanatory diagram of the embodiment shows one embodiment of the cabinet coupling device of the present invention. In the diagram, 1 is one cabinet in which a radio receiving circuit, a tape recorder mechanism, etc. are built-in, and a cabinet in which a 2U speaker is built-in. The other cabinet is 3 is a recess formed longitudinally on the side surface of one of the cabinets 1 and whose bottom surface is particularly deep at the upper end, and 4 is formed integrally with the bottom surface of this recess 3 in the vertical direction. Jetties 5 are a plurality of rigs formed on both sides of the recess 3, respectively.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a locking portion formed by forming notches 7 at the outer ends of the lips 5, and reference numeral 8 denotes four locking portions formed independently of the four portions 3 at the lower end of the side surface of the cabinet 1.
Reference numeral 9 denotes a groove formed long in the vertical direction on the side surface of the other cabinet 2, and reference numeral 10 denotes a groove integrally formed on the side surface of the cabinet 2 so as to protrude from both sides of the groove 90 into the groove 9. A combined projection 11 is a jetty which is formed longitudinally and integrally at the center of the bottom surface of the recessed groove 9 and has a further longitudinally elongated convex rib 12 on the outer surface; 13ij: Cabinet 2;
Four parts formed on the bottom surface for attaching the lock plate.

Reference numeral 14 indicates a through hole formed in the side surface of the cabinet 2 so as to penetrate between the four parts 13 and the side surface of the cabinet 2, and reference numeral 15 indicates a tip portion that projects from the side surface of the cabinet 2 through the through hole 14. 16 is a through hole formed in the center of the lock plate 16, and 17 is integrally formed on the bottom surface of the recess 13 and inserted into the through hole 16. Boss, 18 is boss 1
a spring 21 that is suspended between a protrusion 19 formed on the outer periphery of the lock plate 7 and a protrusion 20 formed on the lock plate 15 and always biases the lock plate 16 so that its tip protrudes from the side surface of the cabinet 2; 2 is a lid body which is tightened and fixed to the boss 17 by screws 22 so as to cover the opening of the fourth part 13;
Reference numeral 3 denotes an operating section integrally formed at the other end of the lock plate 15.

In the above embodiment, cabinet 1 and cabinet 2
When connecting the cabinets, the grooves 9 formed on the cabinet 2 are fitted into the rigs 5 formed on the cabinet 1, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, and the rigs 5 are slid together. .

In this case, the cabinet 1 forms a jetty 4,
Since the cabinet 2 is formed with a jetty 12, when the groove 9 is fitted into the lip 6, the jetty 4 comes into contact with the jetty 12, thereby making the sliding situation between the two extremely smooth. .

That is, when the jetty 4 comes into contact with the jetty 12, a distance α is formed between the bottom of the groove 9 and the surface of the lip 5, as shown in FIGS. Make it smooth. and.

When the lock plate 15 is connected to the cabinet 1, the tip of the lock plate 15 is engaged with the locking four parts 8, so unless the lock plate 15 is operated, the cabinet 2 cannot be moved to the cabinet 1.
You will not be able to leave. That is, by moving the Japanese plate 15 in the direction of the arrow against the force of the spring 18, disengaging its tip from the engagement recess 8, and sliding the cabinet 2 vertically relative to the cabinet 1, It will be possible to separate the two.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the embodiments, the cabinet coupling device of the present invention allows cabinets to be coupled easily, reliably, and firmly, and even when the cabinets are to be separated, it is possible to do so simply by operating the lock plate. It can be easily done with
This is extremely advantageous in practice.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A plurality of lips each having a locking part at the outer end are integrally formed on the side surface of one cabinet, and these lips fit into the grooves formed on the side surface of the other cabinet and slide. Both cabinets are configured to be connected to each other, and one of the cabinets is provided with a lock plate, and this lock plate is inserted into and engaged with a recess formed in the other cabinet, thereby allowing the two cabinets to slide.
