Abstract

PURPOSE:To discharge smoothly a commander from a case by constituting such that a pinion is engaged with a rack at the time of discharging the commander and the turning of the pinion is controlled by a dumper. CONSTITUTION:When a commander 1 is inserted through an opening 13, it is guided to a commander guide member 16, and the rear side of the commander 1 is collied with a colliding part 31 of a sliding piece 28, whereby it is pushed backward against the elasticity of a spring 30. Thus the engagement of a pinion 38 with a rack 32 is released, and a stopper 46 is engaged the commander 1. When an inject button is pushed in this state, the stopper 46 slips off the commander 1. As a result, the sliding piece 28 is shifted leftside due to the elasticity of the spring 30, but he pinion 38 is engaged with the rack 32. In this case, since the pinion 38 is jointed to a dumper 37, the pinion cannot smoothly rotate, and the sliding 28 will not suddenly shift in the direction of the opening 13. Thus the commander 1 is smoothly transported outside.

In addition, a pinion (A) is provided in the case α■ that engages with the rank Ω only when the commander (1) is in operation to take out the commander (1) from the inside of the case α→. group·
2 (371 are concatenated).

[For production]

To explain this action, the slider (C) is always biased in the direction of the opening α of the case αη by the spring ■, and therefore, when taking out the commander (1), the slider (C) is moved toward the opening α of the case αη.
(to), and the commander (1) is taken out.

At this time, the pinion (ro) engages with rank 0 → and the original pinion (to) is Danno! Since the rotation of the -ion (B) is braked by the Dan-So (C), the commander (1) is sent out more slowly from the inside of the case α°C. Furthermore, when the commander (1) is stored, the rack 0) does not mesh with the pinion (B), so the storage is carried out easily and smoothly.

[Implementation row]

A series of storage devices for remote control units (commanders) according to the present invention will be described below.

First, the commander (1) will be explained. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, this broom has an approximately rectangular shape when viewed from the top, and has a main part (2) that forms a flat case, and a main part (2). ) At the front of the iE flannel part (3) that hangs diagonally forward, there are operation buttons (push buttons) (4) for various controls arranged in parallel on the front of the iE flannel part (3) that hangs diagonally forward. There is. Incidentally, these operation buttons (4) are used to select a tuner, record player, CD player, tape deck, etc., adjust the volume, or turn off the power to all devices.

A recess is provided in the front half of the upper surface of the main portion (2), and an operation button (push button) (5) is also provided inside this recess. These operation buttons (5) are used to select channels on the tuner, start and stop the record player, start and reset the CD player, and record, play, fast forward, rewind, and stop the tape deck. A lid (6) is attached to the top surface of the main portion (2), and is designed to be able to freely slide back and forth on the top surface of the main portion (2).The lid (7) is a guide for this lid. It's a groove. Furthermore, a groove (8) serving as a guide is formed on the side surface of the main portion (2). Further, the lower surface of the main part (2) is provided with a commander lock recess (9), which will be described later, as well as a plurality of contacts α0, which are connected to an internal electronic circuit (not shown). .

Although not shown, a signal (infrared light) is emitted from the back surface according to the command.

αD is a case of an electronic device that houses the above-mentioned commander (1), (6) is its front plate, (2) is an opening formed therein into which the commander (1) is inserted, and α fathom is the upper part. face plate,
(15 is the bottom plate.

A commander guide member αG is mounted on the bottom plate αυ in proximity to the opening αj. As is clear from FIGS. 2, 3, and 4, this commander guide member aQ has a floor surface αη that guides the lower surface of the main part (2) of the commander (1), and a left and right side of the commander (1). It has left and right surfaces (18a) (18b) that guide the sides, and has left and right surfaces (18g
) (18b) is selected to be approximately equal to the width of the commander (1). The floor surface αη further has a groove (1) extending in the front-rear direction. And the left and right sides (18g) (18
b) further includes protrusions (19a) each protruding inwardly.
and (19b) are protruded and retracted commander (1)
It is adapted to be guided exactly into the groove (8) of.

A pair of guide rollers (21m) and (21b) are attached between the commander guide member αQ and the opening (to) so as to rotate around shafts (22m) and (22b), respectively. , and the commander (1) are guided by their lateral grooves (8) as they are inserted (see Fig. 4).

Furthermore, a pair of jaw projections (238) and (23b) are planted on the commander guide member αQ (see Fig. 4), so that when the commander (1) is inserted into the case α→, The M (6) of the commander (1) is this protrusion (23 m
) (23b) to close the lid (6).

There is also an opening at the rear of the commander guide member aQ.
A pair of slider guide members (25a) and (2sb) are provided extending in the direction of advancing and retreating toward.

Each of the slider guide members (25 m) is constructed by forming a long hole (A) extending in the front-rear direction in the metal plate (C).

(C) is a slider, which is formed into a bar shape extending in the front-rear direction, and retainers (29a) and (29b) are protruded from the side surface of the slider and are engaged with long holes (supports). , the slider (toward) is guided by the rails (25g) and (25b) so that it can slide in the front-rear direction. (
1) is a spring, which is stretched between a fixed part, that is, a part of the metal plate (C), and the slider (C), and always slides and biases the slider forward. And the engager (29sX29b
) is engaged with the tip of the elongated hole (b) of the rail (25g) (25b), thereby making the slider (1) have a four-shaped straight horn.

This slider (C) is made of, for example, a resin material, and has an abutting portion 0]) for the commander (1) and a rack Ω.

Furthermore, in the fixed part, that is, in the row shown, a cam (G) is attached to the metal plate (2) constituting the rail (25 m) so as to rotate around a fulcrum (B), and a part of the lower end of the cam (G) is attached to the metal plate (2) that constitutes the rail (25 m). (33a) is bent so as to face the upper surface (28a) of the slider, and an O ring (G) made of a rubber material is fitted onto this, and the lower end of this OI) is adapted to lightly contact the upper surface (28a) of the slider (c) (see Fig. 5). Also part of the cam (to) (33
b) is engaged with the arc-shaped long hole OQ formed in the metal plate), so that the cam (to) is in the position shown in Figure 1 and in the second position.
It can be rotated between the positions shown in the figure.

Furthermore, a damper and (b) are attached to the cam (to), and a pinion (0) is connected to this, so that the rotation of the pinion (to) is damped by the damper (07). Figure 6 shows one such row. As is clear from this, the damper oil 01 and the rotary plate are housed in the cylindrical case (to), and the pinion (b) is integrally attached to the rotating shaft (6), so that the damper oil A/ The viscosity of (6) makes the rotation of the pinion (B) heavier. Then, when the cam (c) is in the state shown in FIG. 2, the pinion (g) is engaged with the rack G→ of the slider -, and in the state shown in FIG. The mounting position is selected.

A support shaft is attached and swung along the lower edge of the opening (to) of the electronic device case, and the lower end of the opening cover (7) is rotatably attached to this, and then wrapped around the support shaft. A spring (not shown) allows the opening lid (9) to always close the opening α3.

In this case, the commander (1) is connected to the opening lid (
When attempting to push open 9) and insert it into the case, the opening lid (9) will fall down as shown by the dotted line in Figure 2, but at this time, the upper end of the opening lid (9) will touch the slider (c). It is configured to abut against the front end of the commander (1) and in this state double as a guide for guiding the lower surface of the commander (1) onto the slider (1), that is, onto the commander guide member 00. Then, at the point where the slider (C) is further retreated, the platform-like deafness is released, and the opening cover (C) can be rotated from the position shown by the dotted line to a further reclined position (see Figure 1). ).

When the commander (1) is stored in the case, the fixed part inside the case←ω, that is, in the illustrated example, the commander guide member θQ,
A stopper 0→ which prevents this from being discharged outside the case is rotatably mounted around an axis θη. (9) is a spring that always biases the rotation counterclockwise (in FIG. 1). This stopper (T) is located inside the case with the axis 0.
! 1 (see FIG. 3) is linked with an eject button (9) formed on the front plate of the case via an interlocking lever holder rotatably mounted. Therefore, when this eject button (b) is pressed, the interlocking lever (1) rotates counterclockwise in Fig. 3, pushing the lower end of the stopper ■ to the left in Fig. 1, and the stone arm ■ moves clockwise. It rotates in the direction and comes out of the recess (9) on the lower surface of the commander (1).

A plurality of contacts 62 are attached to a part of the guide member αQ for the commander, and these are arranged so that when the commander (1) is stored in the above-mentioned state, they come into contact with the plurality of contacts α1 provided on the lower surface of the commander (1). being done. Therefore, when the commander (1) is in the stored state, operating current is supplied to the commander (1) through one of these contacts, and furthermore, a control signal based on the operation of the commander (1) is transmitted to one of the other contacts. It is transmitted to electronic devices through

The operation of such a configuration will be explained.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the commander (1) is housed in the case αη, and FIG. 2 shows a state in which it is not housed. In the state shown in Fig. 2, when attempting to insert (deliver) the commander (1) shown in Figs. 7 and 8 from the rear side through the opening (to), the opening cover (9) must first be inserted into the opening. As shown by the dotted line in Figure 2, the commander (1) is guided on the commander guide member αQ, and when further inserted, the back surface of the commander (1) is brought into contact with the abutment part 0υ of the slider (to). , and the slider (c) is pushed backward against the elasticity of the spring (to). In such a case, remove the cam O-ring (
The cam (A) is rotated counterclockwise around the fulcrum (B) from the point where the cam (G) is in contact with the top surface (28 m) of the slider, and this causes the pinion (B) to move against the rack 09. The engagement (meshing) is released, and the sliding jaw is therefore slid rearward (to the right in the figure) regardless of the lever 4' (c). At this time, the grooves (8) on the left and right sides of the commander (1)
) Peeling rollers (21g) (21b) and protrusions (19
a) (19b) respectively. When the commander (1) is inserted to the predetermined position in this way, the stopper engages with the recess (9) on the bottom of the commander (1), and even if you release your hand from the commander (1) from now on, the stopper will not be ejected to the outside. It never happens. In this case, the front of the commander (1) is the casing α
It is located almost on the same plane as the front plate (6) of the front panel (see Figure 1).

Next, when pressing the eject button in this position, the stopper (c) rotates clockwise and the commander (1)
It comes off from the recess (9) on the bottom surface of. Therefore, the slider (c)
The blade moves to the left due to the elasticity of the spring (1), but at this time, the O-ring (C) on the top surface (28g) of the slider (C)
The cam (to) rotates clockwise around the fulcrum (b) due to contact with the pinion (b), which causes the pinion (b) to move to the rack 0'4.
It meshes with. In this case, since the pinion (to) is connected to the lock (b), it can rotate smoothly, so despite the elasticity of the spring (to), the slider (to) opens suddenly. There is no movement in the direction (2), so the commander (1) is slowly sent out.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention described above, the commander (1) is placed in the case α.
When inserted into the damper Q, it can be stored smoothly regardless of the damper Q, but when it is ejected, the damper Q? ) acts to gently move the slider (c) in the opening direction, so that the commander (1) can be taken out gently.
