Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a front door opening/closing device for a record player in which a slide base on which a turntable is mounted is supported so as to be movable in the front and rear directions relative to the player cabinet. The front door is supported movably between a vertical position covering the front of the player cabinet and a horizontal position inside the player cabinet, and the front door is opened and closed by moving the slide lever back and forth. By doing so, it is easy to open and close the front door, and furthermore, since the front door is pulled into the player cabinet when opened, player operation is not hindered.

Conventionally, in order to reduce the space required by a record player (especially the space above it), the turntable was supported so that it could move forward and backward relative to the player cabinet, and the front door was rotated upward when in use. There is a known device in which the turntable is pulled forward.

However, when using such a product,
The front door protruded from the top of the turntable, making it difficult to change records or operate the tone arm.

The purpose of this invention is to move such a record player to a position where it will not interfere with player operation when the front door is opened.

An embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

A slide base 1 on which a turntable is mounted is supported so as to be movable in the front and rear directions (left and right directions in the figure) with respect to a player cabinet 2.

A front door 3 is provided at a position covering the upper opening of the slide base 1, and guide pins 4 protruding from approximately the center on both sides thereof engage guide grooves 5 provided on both side walls of the player cabinet 2. and is rotatably and slidably supported.

A slide lever 6 is supported on one side wall of the player cabinet so as to be movable in the front-back direction, and is always urged rearward by a spring 7.

The front end of the slide lever 6 is rotatably coupled to an engagement shaft 8 provided near the upper end of the front door 3.
Further, the rear end is rotatably and slidably supported on the side wall of the player cabinet.
is connected to the top of the

The lower end of the pivot lever 9 is in contact with a pin 10 provided on the slide base when the slide base 1 is in the storage position shown in FIG.

Next, its operation will be explained.

When the slide base 1 is moved forward (to the left in the figure) manually or by a slide base drive mechanism (not shown) in the stored state shown in FIG. 9, the slide lever 6 moves backward by the force of the spring 7, and the front door 3 moves upward along the guide groove 5 while rotating clockwise, until it reaches the horizontal position shown in FIG. reach the position.

In this state, the turntable is in the front and the front door 3 is retracted into the player cabinet 2 so that it does not get in the way, making it extremely easy to change records and operate the tone arm. .

When the performance is finished and the slide base 1 is moved to the storage position, the pin 10 contacts the rotation lever 9 and rotates it counterclockwise, moving the front door 3 to the vertical position shown in FIG. let

As explained above, the record player front door opening/closing device of this invention supports the front door movably between the vertical position covering the front of the player cabinet and the horizontal position inside the player cabinet. ,
By moving the slide lever back and forth to open and close the front door, it is easy to open and close the front door, and when the front door is opened, it does not get stuck inside the player cabinet, making it easier to operate the player. It has the unique effect of being easy to perform.

Furthermore, by linking the movement of the slide lever in reverse with the movement of the slide base in the front-back direction, the device can be used by simply pulling out the slide base, making the operation even easier.

In addition, when the slide lever is not linked to the slide base, a means (for example, a handle) for operating the slide lever from the outside of the player cabinet is provided.
