Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a scale plate mounting device used in stereo receivers, etc., and is designed to facilitate the installation work when the scale plate is mounted at an angle. .

In recent years, in stereo receivers, etc., the scale plate has been tilted relative to the front panel due to the functional requirement of making the scale plate easier to read and the design requirement of making the front of the device look more modern. Installation is in progress.

Conventionally, when attaching a scale plate in this way, tapped holes are formed in the so-called butt ends of both ends of the scale plate,
Holding plates are brought into contact with both ends of the scale plate in a state perpendicular to the scale plate, and after the two are connected with screws, the holding plates are attached to a mounting board such as a front chassis.

However, with this configuration, there is a problem that the assembly work becomes cumbersome because screws must be attached each time to connect the scale plate and the holding plate and to connect the holding plate and the mounting board.

In addition, since screw holes must be formed in each end of the scale plate, the process of manufacturing the scale plate itself becomes difficult, especially if the scale plate is so thin that it is impossible to form screw holes on the back side of the scale. Since it is necessary to take the trouble to provide a bulge and to form a screw hole in the bulge, there is a further problem in that it becomes difficult to manufacture the scale plate.

The present invention provides a scale plate mounting device that solves these conventional problems.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a case that constitutes a receiver, 2 is a window 2a
3 is various operation knobs, 4 is a scale plate, 5 is a decorative frame, and 6 is a holding plate.

The scale plate 4 has L-shaped bent portions 4a and 4b at its lower end, and is integrally formed of resin by extrusion molding or the like.

The holding plate 6 also includes a stepped portion 6a having the same shape as the cross section of the scale plate 4, and two cylindrical pins 6b protruding from the lower surface of the two surfaces separated by the stepped portion 6a. ,6
b, one prismatic pin 6C, a recess 6d for holding the decorative crosspiece 5, a fixing piece 6e arranged along a mounting board (not shown) such as a front chassis, and this fixing piece 6.
It has a groove 6f for inserting a screw provided in e, and these Ic and others are integrally formed of resin.

In this embodiment, the step portion 6a and the pin 6b,
6C constitutes a fitting portion to the scale plate 4.

In the above configuration, if the step portions 6a of the pair of holding plates 6, 6 and the pins 6b, 6e are fitted to both ends of the scale plate 4 from the state shown in FIG. Due to the elasticity exhibited, both ends of the scale plate 4 are connected to the stepped portion 6a and the pins 6b, 6.
As a result, the scale plate 4 and the holding plate 6 are integrally connected as shown in FIG.

Therefore, from the state shown in FIG.
If screwed through f, the scale plate 4 can be attached in an inclined state with respect to the front panel 2, as shown in FIG.

Note that when joining the scale plate 4 and the retaining plates 6, 6, the second
If the decorative crosspieces 5 are connected at the same time as shown in FIG.

After that, if the entire device is covered with the case 1, the top plate of the case 1 will prevent the decorative frame 5 from slipping upward.

In this way, according to the embodiment described above, the scale plate 4 and the holding plate 6 can be easily connected without using screws or the like, so that the work of attaching the scale plate can be significantly facilitated.

Moreover, as in this embodiment, a bent portion 4 is formed on a part of the scale plate 4.
When the scale plates a and 4 b are provided, the connection between the scale plate 4 and the holding plate 6 can be made stronger and more stable than when a simple flat scale scale plate is held.

Moreover, if the fitting part is formed by the step part 6a and the pins 6b, 6C as in this embodiment, the back surface of the scale plate 4 will come into point contact with the pins 6b, 6C, so the step part Even if there is some variation in the gap between 6a and the pins 6b, 6C, the elasticity of the pins 6b, 6C absorbs this, making the fitting of the holding plate 6 to the scale plate 4 more reliable and stable. can be done.

In the above embodiment, the case where the scale plate 4 is installed at an angle has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to a case where the scale plate 4 is installed in a position recessed from the front panel while being arranged in a substantially vertical direction.

Further, in the embodiment, a scale plate having a mostly flat surface was used, but the present invention can also be applied to the case where a scale plate having an arcuate cross section as a whole is attached.

More than! In addition, the present invention has great practical value as it can simplify the installation work when installing the scale plate at an angle, and also allows the scale plate to be mounted in a stable condition. It is.

In particular, in the present invention, a fitting part is formed by a step having the same shape as the cross section of the scale plate and a pin provided in the vicinity of the step, and the end of the scale plate is press-fitted between the step and the pin to form a fitting part. Therefore, even if the scale plate is installed obliquely or if the scale plate itself is bent or curved, the scale plate can be held securely.
