Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an in-vehicle audio device that is installed using a room mirror provided at the front upper part of the interior of an automobile.

Conventionally, in-vehicle audio devices such as car stereos have mostly been installed in consoles, instrument panels, undercarriages, etc. inside the vehicle, and attaching and detaching them is a difficult task, and the devices are not accessible to the driver. This had the disadvantage that when operating the device, the operator often had to look at the device and take his/her line of sight out of the windshield, which could be dangerous.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, a tape running operation section 2 is provided protruding from the top front of the device main body 1, and a buffer member 3 such as a rubber plate that comes into contact with the top of the rearview mirror is attached to the bottom surface of this operation section 2. ing. 4
is a cassette insertion slot provided on the side of the main body 1 of the apparatus. On the lower surface of the device main body 1, there is a rearview mirror lower holding member 6 with a cushioning member 5 such as a rubber plate attached to one end and a guide protrusion 7 having a substantially square cross section.
It is attached by a height adjustment member 7 having a diameter of 1.a and a pair of height adjustment screws 8. As is clear from the figure, the guide protrusion 7a can freely enter and exit the main body 1 through a through hole provided on the lower surface of the device main body 1, and the screw 8 is inserted inside the height adjusting member. It is inserted into the long hole 6a of the holding member 6. Therefore, the holding member 6 is movable in the front and back direction guided by the height adjusting member 7 and the pair of screws 8.
The height adjusting member 7 can be moved in the vertical direction by screwing in or loosening the screw 8.

Because of this configuration, Figure 2 or 3
As shown in the figure, by inserting the room mirror 9 installed at the front upper part of the car interior into the buffer member 3 from the upper part and the buffer member 5 of the holding member 6 from the lower part, and tightening the pair of screws 8, The device main body 1 can be attached to the room mirror 9. As mentioned above, since the holding member 6 and the height adjusting member 7 are movable back and forth and up and down, respectively, the rearview mirror 9
The optimal mounting position can be found according to the thickness and height of the product.

In this mounting state, the operating section 2 is located above the rearview mirror 9, so it does not obstruct the driver's field of view, and it is possible to operate the operating section 2 while looking directly ahead. Safety can be significantly improved.

By the way, in an audio device having such a configuration, when operating the operating section 2, it is expected that a large operating force may be applied by mistake, causing the rearview mirror 9 to tilt from its normal position. In order to prevent such problems from occurring, this embodiment adopts the following configuration. That is, support members 11 are provided at two positions on the left and right sides of the upper back surface of the device main body 1, one end of which is rotatably attached around a shaft 10, and the free end of the support member 11 is brought into contact with the windshield 12. The device main body 1 is prevented from moving even when a large operating force is applied. The support member 11 is composed of a threaded portion 11a having a cushion 13 at its tip for preventing damage to the windshield, and a main body portion 11b into which the cushion is inserted.By rotating the threaded portion 11a, the length of the support member 11 can be adjusted. can now be changed.
The support member 11 can be stored in a recess 14 provided on the back surface of the apparatus main body 1 in a state where the support member 11 is at its shortest length. Therefore, the device body 1 can be replaced with a rear-view mirror 9.
By adjusting the angle of the mirror while attached to the main body 1, adjusting the length of the supporting member 11 taken out from the main body 1 toward the windshield, and applying the cushion 13 at the tip to the windshield, the main body 1 of the device can be stably held in position. be done.

Note that, as mentioned earlier, the support member 11 is attached to the main body 1.
Moreover, the holding member 6 and height adjustment member 7 can be removed from the main body 1 by removing the screw 8, so when using the device without attaching it to the rearview mirror 9, the supporting member 11 etc. can be removed from the main body 1. It doesn't stand out and get in the way.

As explained above, the in-vehicle audio device of the present invention has a buffer member attached to the lower surface of the operation unit that protrudes forward from the upper surface of the device body, and a buffer member attached to the upper surface of the device body so as to be movable in the longitudinal and vertical directions. Since the attachment means consisting of a holding member with a buffer member can be attached to and removed from the rearview mirror from the rear, the device can be attached to the rearview mirror without blocking the view of the rearview mirror, and the operating section of the device can be placed above the rearview mirror. It can be installed so that it is located at Therefore, not only can the interior space of the vehicle be used effectively, but also the driver can operate the device while facing forward, improving safety. In addition, the support member is arranged in a recess provided on the back of the main body of the device so that it can be moved in and out.
Because it has a length-adjustable cushion at the tip,
By bringing the cushion at the tip of the support member into contact with the inner surface of the windshield when the device body is attached to the room mirror, there is an advantage that the device body will not be damaged by hitting the windshield.
