Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a mounting device for in-vehicle equipment such as a car stereo.

Conventionally, in order to attach this type of equipment to a vehicle, the main body of the equipment was fixed to the mounting bracket using another screw via a mounting bracket that was fixed with a screw to an opening provided in the instrument panel of the vehicle. Therefore, when installing this type of equipment, it takes time and effort, has a large number of parts, and has disadvantages such as requiring a large amount of installation space.

In view of this, the present invention eliminates the drawbacks of conventional models and allows in-vehicle equipment such as car stereos to be easily attached to the instrument panel of the vehicle.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a mounting device that can accommodate changes in the thickness of the panel member.

The configuration of the present invention will be specifically explained below with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral A indicates in-vehicle equipment such as a car radio or car stereo, and 1 is the main body of the mounting device of the present invention. This device main body 1 is the third
As shown in the figure, it is used by being attached to both sides of the vehicle-mounted equipment A, and as shown in FIG. 1, it is formed in a U-shape in cross section. The U-shaped device main body 1 is manufactured using synthetic resin, metal, etc., and the front end side protrudes outward from all or at least one of the flange surface 2a or web surface 2b, and when external pressure is applied, the front end side protrudes inward. Cut and raise the nail pieces 3 and 4 so that they fit into the
are formed integrally with the device main body 1 within the holes 5 and 6 formed in the flange surface or web surface. Reference numerals 3a and 4a are receiving pieces that are integrally bent at the front ends of the claw pieces.

Further, what is indicated by the reference numeral 7 is an edge plate formed on the front side of the device main body 1 so as to face the receiving pieces 3a, 4a. A leaf spring-like locking piece 8 is integrally provided, which is bent so as to project rearward from the rear.When external pressure is applied from the rear toward the front, the locking piece 8 resists the rigidity of the locking piece and snaps into place. It is pushed forward by the bending part.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the leaf spring-like locking piece 8 was formed vertically symmetrically on one side edge of the edge plate 7.
It is sufficient to provide only one of the plate spring-like locking pieces 8, or the plate spring-like locking pieces 8 may be provided on the upper and lower edges of the edge plate.

Reference numeral 9 indicates a mounting piece for this device, and the device and the device are fixed with a set screw 10 through a screw hole formed in the center. Reference numeral 11 represents a panel member such as an instrument panel or a console box, and 12 represents an opening formed in this panel member for mounting equipment.

When using the device of the present invention configured as described above, first attach the U-shaped device main body 1 to the left and right sides of the in-vehicle device A as shown in FIG.
Both are fixed with set screws 10. Next, the apparatus body 1 is inserted into the opening 12 from the front of the panel member 11 together with the device A as shown in FIG. At this time, the cut-and-raise claw pieces 3 and 4 formed on the flange surface or web surface of the device main body are pushed by the panel member 11, bend inward of the device, and pass through the opening 12. Then, the panel member 11 is brought into contact with the leaf spring-like locking piece 8 formed to protrude rearward from the edge plate 7, and is slightly pressed forward, so that the cut and raised claw pieces 3, The front end of 4 is made to protrude to the back side of the panel member 11. Thus, as shown in Fig. 6, the cut and raised claw pieces 3, 4
The panel member 11 is held between the plate spring-like locking piece 8 and the plate spring-like locking piece 8. The thickness of the panel member 11 varies depending on the manufacturer, but the device of the present invention has a plate spring-like locking piece 8 depending on the thickness of the panel member 11, as shown in FIGS. Since it is bent appropriately, the dimensional difference between the panel members is absorbed, and the panel member is positioned and fixed so as not to move vertically or horizontally without the need for a special spacer.

As described above, the device of the present invention has cut and raised claw pieces on the flange surface or web surface of the U-shaped main body,
In addition, it has a simple configuration with a plate spring-like locking piece provided on the edge plate, and when installing in-vehicle equipment to a panel member, it can be easily installed in a short time without taking much time. By holding the panel member between the cut-and-raised claw piece and the leaf spring-like locking piece, an excellent practical effect is exhibited in that the difference in thickness of the panel member can be absorbed.
