Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a plate-shaped body holder for fixing two plate-shaped bodies at a constant interval, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a plate-shaped body holder for fixing two plate-shaped bodies at a fixed interval, and more specifically for fixing two plate-shaped bodies in a removable manner and holding a lower part of the plate-shaped body. This invention relates to a holder configured to extremely minimize protrusion to the back side of a plate.

Various such plate-shaped object holders have been proposed in the past, and these are shown, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,777.052 or U.S. Pat. No. 4,143,577. When these are attached to a board, the lower end of the holder protrudes considerably from the back side, and this protruding lower end can sometimes get in the way, especially when you want to stack or arrange these fixed plates at a limited interval. 3. The emergence of a plate-shaped object holder that is suitable for use in situations where only extremely limited space can be secured on the back side of the circuit board is extremely desirable, especially in the field of electronic devices, in view of the trend toward miniaturization. It has become a place where people can However, even if such requirements are satisfied, it would be meaningless if the mechanical strength is impaired. Therefore, the present invention combines the above-mentioned characteristics and has the same or better performance than the conventional one. There is one object that aims to provide a novel plate-like object holder having mechanical strength.

The above-mentioned disadvantages and purposes are achieved by using an elastically deformable backing plate,
a column that is vertically erected in the center and has an upper end connected to an intermediate portion; a pair of elastic legs that hang diagonally downward from the intermediate portion symmetrically about the axis of the column and have free ends; and an upper plate attachment part connected above the intermediate part along the axis, and the lower part to be attached is configured such that the interval between the upper surface of the backing plate and the free end of the elastic leg is set at the interval. A plate shape, characterized in that it is elongated to the same thickness as the plate, and the maximum diameter or maximum width of the upper plate attachment part and the intermediate part is shorter than the maximum diameter or maximum width of the backing plate. This problem can be solved and achieved by using a body holder.

Although the plate-like object holder according to the present invention has the configuration described above, its features will be easily understood by explaining the present invention in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Dew.

Fig. 1 is a front view of a plate-like object holder according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a side view of the holder, Fig. 6 is a plan view of the holder, and Fig. 4 is a modification of the holder. FIG. 5 is a front view of the holder in its implemented state, and FIG. 6 is a front view of the conventional example in its implemented state.

1 to 6, the plate-like object holder according to the present invention has a circular shape 1, an upper surface 120 of which has a pair of ribs 11 parallel to its periphery.
A backing plate 1 with an intermediate part 6 that hangs diagonally downward of the intermediate part 6 symmetrically about the axis of the support 2 and has free ends; The elastic legs 4 have upper plate mounting portions 5 which are continuous along the upper plate mounting portion 5, and an extension portion 8 is provided at the tip of each free end 8 of the elastic leg portion 4 to project from the inside portion of the free end.

Furthermore, an elongated hole 1a is bored in the longitudinal center of the upper plate mounting part 5, and an elastic restraining piece having a lower end that can freely move in and out of the elongated hole 1a is protruded from the side surface of the upper plate mounting part, A top plate in which a hole having a diameter comparable to the outside diameter of the mounting part is bored is fitted into this mounting part, so that it finally comes into contact with the top surface 10 of the intermediate part 3. A shoulder portion 9 is carved on the outer lower end of the elastic restraining piece 6, which can engage a part of the periphery of the hole to prevent the inserted upper plate from returning upward. Note that this upper plate mounting portion is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,77.
7.052 Specification 1 Although further detailed explanation is omitted, in this embodiment, this type of attachment part is shown for convenience, but the attachment part 1 should not be particularly limited to this. The key is to hold the upper plate and have a maximum diameter that is the same as or smaller than the diameter of the hole in the lower plate.

On the other hand, the plate-shaped body that is to come into contact with the true abutment plate 1 must have at least a hole with a diameter that is the same as or slightly larger than the maximum diameter of the upper plate attachment part 5 and the intermediate part 6. In addition, in order for the backing plate 1 to abut and lock with the lower plate, the maximum diameter or maximum width of the true backing plate must be larger or longer than the diameter of the hole in the lower plate. naturally means that it must be larger or longer than the maximum diameter or maximum width of the upper plate attachment part and the intermediate part.Furthermore, the maximum leg opening at the free end 7°7 of the elastic legs 4,4 The diameter width is larger than the maximum diameter of the intermediate part 6 because the two parts themselves open downwardly, and the hole drilled in the lower plate allows the legs to elastically move inwardly toward each other near the free end. After that, the elastic deformation of the legs is released between the free ends 7, 7 and the upper surface 12 of the backing plate 1. At this time, the inner peripheral edge of the hole in the lower plate is aligned with the tip of the free end. A pair of parallel ribs 11 are provided on the periphery of the upper surface 12 of the abutment plate 1 to prevent lateral displacement of the lower plate when pressed outward from each other by the extensions 8 and 8 provided on the abutment plate 1. , 11, vertical displacement is also prevented. However, in order to completely prevent this vertical displacement, the thickness of the lower plate must be the same as that of the free end 7.7 and the backing plate 1. It is easy to understand that the distance from the upper surface 12 is limited to a case where y is equal to y, but it is slightly longer.This is because the backing plate 1 extends from the center to the periphery by an amount corresponding to the height of the ribs 11, 11. 1 because the condition is that it undergoes elastic deformation over K. This point will be more clearly understood by referring to FIG. 5, which shows an embodiment of the holder according to the main invention.

Next, FIG. 4 will be explained. The plate-like object holder according to the present invention has the function of simply fixing two plate-like objects firmly and at the same time separating them at a certain distance, which also functions as a spacer9, as shown in this figure. In the modified example, the length of the middle part A is increased by an appropriate height, and the space is increased.
This further emphasizes the role of a manager.

Next, FIGS. 5 and 6 will be explained. As mentioned above, FIGS. 1 and 5 show the implementation state of the plate-like object holder according to the present invention, and in contrast, FIG. 6 shows the conventional example. It shows the implementation status. In Figure 6, 8 indicates the leg, and B
indicates the upper plate attachment part, C indicates the middle part, and D indicates the elastic wing (in this conventional example, the lower plate fb)
is held between the wing D and the leg A, and the upper plate (a
) is fitted between the upper end of the intermediate portion C and the first plate mounting portion A, and the fifth portion 1 is shown in which the present invention is implemented.
Comparing with the figure, the lower plate (b) engages the free ends 7.7 of the elastic legs 4, 4 and the extensions 8.8 to the upper periphery of the hole S2, and A pair of ribs 11 provided on the peripheral edge. If elastically the free end 7,
It is pressed against 7. Regarding this point, in the conventional example shown in FIG.
They are elastically pressed together. Therefore, it can be said that the combination of the elastic legs and backing plate in this embodiment has a structure in which the legs iA and wings D of the conventional example are arranged oppositely with the lower plate (b) interposed therebetween. It can be done. However, since the conventional model has legs that are inserted from above the holes provided in the lower plate (b), the tips of the legs are thick (protruding) from the back side of the lower plate (b). In other words, if the tip of the leg is shortened, the part that protrudes from the back surface will certainly become smaller, but if the Wing DK is subjected to horizontal shaking, the leg will not be elastically deformed, and will easily slip out of the hole. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the backing plate 1 is made of a disk having a diameter larger than the hole S2, so that it cannot be pulled out from the hole S2 even if the upper structure is shaken. There is no possibility of it coming off, so by making the mounting structure for the lower plate as in the present invention, the protrusion of the lower plate from the back side can be minimized, and a much stronger lower plate can be created. It can be attached to the plate, and the attachment method is to either lower the lower plate (b) from above and come into contact with the ribs 11.11 of the backing plate, contrary to the conventional example, or This can be done extremely easily since it is only necessary to insert it into the hole S2 in the direction shown in FIG.

As mentioned above, in this embodiment, a circular plate is used as the backing plate 1, but J& is thicker than the diameter or maximum width of the hole s2 in the lower plate, and its shape is also a regular square. It may be rectangular or oval, and the hole S2 does not need to be round at all, as long as the MiI upper plate mounting portion 5 and intermediate portion 6 can pass therethrough.

Therefore, plate-shaped body restraints having various shapes can be used within the scope of the present invention, but in any case, it is possible to manufacture them by integral molding using an elastic synthetic resin material. When used in electronic equipment, extremely good electrical insulation properties can be obtained, and the ease of installation improves work efficiency. In addition, since the holder according to the present invention does not have a protruding back surface of the grade plate, when it is used in a normal structure as a channel connecting member, it even produces an aesthetic effect on the appearance. Many variations are possible without departing from the scope of the invention.
