Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION The present invention relates to a lid body that can open and close an opening of a main body of a device, such as a clothes inlet of a clothes dryer, for example.

Conventional structure and its problems In order to improve safety, the lid of a conventional gas clothes dryer had a glass window attached inside the iron plate lid using a holder made of chlorinated vinyl. Since it is made of iron plate, it is painted and a protective member is attached to the end face, which increases the weight of the lid, requiring strong hinges, which makes the lid expensive.

Electric clothes dryers generally have lids made of resin, but gas-type ones burn gas within the device itself, so even if clothes inside the drum catch fire, The outer frame of the device was entirely made of iron plates to prevent flames from escaping outside the device body, and the lid was similarly constructed to improve safety against fires.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention aims to rationalize the cost and reduce the weight of the lid body by using resin instead of the conventional iron plate lid, and to reduce assembly man-hours and improve safety by simplifying the installation of glass windows. The purpose is to

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a lid body for opening and closing an opening on the device main body side, which is composed of a resin lid and a window made of a flame-retardant material, and a window holder is provided on the resin lid. A plurality of supporting parts each having a through hole and a protrusion are integrally formed inside the circular flange, and the retaining plate has a cutout part and a protrusion engaged with the outer periphery facing the supporting part of the lid. The window is fixed to the lid by forming a plurality of concave portions that fit together, and by providing a circular window holding portion and a hole.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a clothes dryer equipped with a lid according to this embodiment. A bearing 3 is provided on the outer periphery of a drum support plate 2 fixed to the front part inside the main body 1 of the device, so that a rotating drum 4 can be freely rotated. An input port 6 for storing clothes in the rotating drum 4 is provided on the front side of the main body 1 of the device.A backing 6 is attached to the outer periphery of the input port 6, and the lid body is used to seal it. A rotatable hinge is fixed to one end of the lid body, and a handle, a suction member, etc. are fixed to the other end, and the input port 6 of the main body 1 of the device can be opened and closed.

The structure of the lid body is as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, and in the center of the resin lid 7 there is a window holder 8 and a thick through hole 9.
, and a plurality of support portions 11 provided with projections 10 are integrally formed inside the circular flange 12.

A holding plate 14 for fixing the glass window 13 to the lid γ has a notch 16 and a protrusion 10 on the outer periphery facing the support portion 11 of the lid 7.
A plurality of recesses 16 are formed to engage with each other, and a circular window holder 17 and a hole 18 are also formed.

To explain the assembly order here, the glass window 13 is attached to the window holder 8 of the resin lid 7, and then the notch 15 of the retaining plate 14 is
is inserted into the support 11 of the lid γ and rotated in the direction of the arrow to engage the protrusion 1° of the lid 7 with the recess 16 of the holding plate 14, thereby fixing the glass window 13.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the resin cover and the window can be fixed easily and reliably using the retaining plate, thereby streamlining the cost and reducing the weight of the cover body, and by using the glass window. This improves safety.
