Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a fixing structure for a decorative panel used on the front surface of a telephone or the like.

Conventionally, the fixed structure of a sheet-like decorative decorative panel made of plastic, etc., used on the front of the housing of a telephone, etc., is to insert the lower part into an insertion hole provided in the housing, and insert the other side into the housing. Most of the structures are fixed using decorative panel locking protrusions that correspond to the protrusions of a locking metal fitting formed of a bullet that is fixed to the inside of the body with screws, etc., and the panel is attached to the housing as shown in Figure 1. Fig. 3 shows a partial side view when

1 is a housing, 2 is a decorative panel, 3 is a locking protrusion, and 4 is a locking metal fitting. When removing the decorative panel 2, the locking metal fitting 4 is used.
Push the tip of the button to release the locked state and remove it.

Therefore, as a matter of course, this conventional structure requires a separate part for locking and must be fixed, which is of course uneconomical in terms of the number of parts and man-hours. It had some drawbacks, such as being unsuitable for mass production.

An object of the present invention is to provide a decorative panel fixing structure that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of household equipment including a casing in which the present invention is implemented, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the casing near where the decorative panel is fixed before the decorative panel of the embodiment of the present invention is attached, and Fig. 4. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the plane AA in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the state before the decorative panel is attached, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the state after the decorative panel is attached.

In FIG. 2, the in-home equipment 11 includes a housing 12, a bottom plate 13,
, a handset 14, etc., and 15 is a removable decorative panel.

To explain in detail the fixing structure of this decorative panel 15, as is clear from FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, the casing 1
On the right side of 2, an installation dust 16 is formed that corresponds to the outer shape of the decorative panel 15 and has a lower thickness.
An elastic locking portion 17 is formed near the center of the rearmost portion.

This elastic locking portion 17 is attached to the housing 12 which is composed of a locking protrusion 18 near the center and elastic portions 19 continuous on both sides.
They are integrally molded and connected by a connecting wall 20.

The length of the elastic portion 19 allows the locking protrusion 18 to be attached to the elastic portion 1.
9 in the thickness direction, the elastic part 19 can be displaced due to the elasticity of the plastic, and the elastic part 19 can be displaced by the elasticity of the plastic, and the load force can be reduced. If you remove it, it will return to its original state.

Naturally, the length and thickness of this elastic part 19, etc.
Needless to say, it is necessary to take into account the material of the plastic, etc., so that it can be displaced within the elastic limit and with a light load.

Next, the decorative panel 15 installed on the installation dust 16 is inserted into the housing 12 at about two places at the bottom, and the rear end is inserted into the lower end 2 of the protrusion 1B formed on the housing 12.
The locking projections 22 are provided oppositely to each other so as to be engaged with each other.

That is, by first inserting the lower part of the decorative panel 15 into the housing 12 and then pushing the upper part of the decorative panel 15 into the installation dust 16, the locking protrusion 18 of the housing 12 will engage the decorative panel 15. It is displaced by the stop projection 22, returns to its original state after passing, and is engaged at the lower end 21.

The locking protrusion 1B and the locking protrusion 22 are each provided with an inclined portion 23 so that the decorative panel 15 can be easily inserted into the locking protrusion 1B, thereby improving operability.

When removing the decorative panel 15, push the locking protrusion 18 of the casing 12 in the thickness direction from the front side to release it from the locked state and lift the decorative panel 15. It can be done easily.

As is clear from the above explanation, the decorative panel fixing structure of the present invention is economical because the locking protrusions for fixing the decorative panel are integrally molded into the housing, reducing parts and assembly man-hours. This can be said to be an extremely practical structure compared to conventional ones.
