Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is a tape recorder in which a transparent decorative cover is removably fitted onto the top side of a cassette holder in which a holder portion for storing and holding a cassette is formed to form a cassette cover. The invention relates to a cassette lid. Conventionally, due to design issues, this type of cassette lid has a dual structure consisting of a cassette holder that stores and holds the cassette, and a transparent decorative lid that covers the top of the cassette holder. The decorative lid is detachably attached to the cassette holder in order to easily adjust the angle of the magnetic head and clean the magnetic head. There are several ways to attach it, such as using screws, fitting it using a hook formed integrally with the decorative lid, and fitting it using a metal spring, etc. However, two methods are generally used for ease of assembly. The second method is often used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, notches 3, 3' and elastic locking parts 4, 4' are formed in a cassette holder 2 in which a holder part 1 for storing and holding a cassette is formed, and a transparent cassette holder 2 is formed. The decorative lid 5 has the notches 3, 3'
L-shaped hooks 6a, 6a', 6b, and 6b' that engage with the elastic locking portions 4 and 4' are integrally formed, and the two are removably fitted. However, if such a method is used, the L-shaped hooks 6a, 6 will be attached to the decorative lid 5.
Since the molds 7 and 8 are combined as shown in FIG. 2 to form a', 6b, and 6b', holes 9a and 9a for molding as shown in FIG. ′、
9b, 9b' will open and the value of the product will be significantly reduced if used as is, so separate decorative plates 10, 1 are provided.
It was necessary to paste 0', which required time and effort and was subject to design constraints. In addition, the one shown in Fig. 3 has a holder part 1 for storing and holding the cassette.
Elastic ribs 13, 13' having fitting recesses 13a, 13a' and locking protrusions 14, 14' are formed on the cassette holder 12 in which 1 is formed, and the transparent decorative lid 15 has two sides thereof. Fitting protrusion 1
6, 16' and locking protrusions 17, 17' are integrally formed as shown in the figure, and the two are removably fitted together. However, even with such a method, the cosmetic lid 1
5 to form each fitting protrusion 16, 16'.
Since the molds 18, 19, 20, and 21 are combined as shown in the figure, a mold parting line (mold mating surface) as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 3 is generated on the upper surface of the decorative lid 15. If used as is, the product value would be significantly lowered, so additional processing such as painting or hot stamping would have to be applied, which was time-consuming and subject to design constraints. The present invention was developed in view of these points, and eliminates the need for a separate decorative plate or secondary processing such as painting, eliminates design constraints, and allows the cassette to be fitted into the cassette holder with a single touch. To provide a tape recorder cassette lid using a decorative lid with good workability. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 30 in FIG. 5 denotes a cassette holder in which a holder part 31 for storing and holding a cassette is formed, and the cassette holder 30 has elastic ribs 32, 3 having fitting recesses 32a, 32a' on both sides thereof.
2' and locking protrusions 33, 33' are formed.
Note that 34 and 34' are pivot points of the cassette holder 30, and 35 is a window hole. Reference numeral 36 denotes a decorative board with tape scales etc. printed on its upper surface, and both sides 36a, 36a' of the decorative board 36 have cutouts 37, 37', square holes 38a, 38b, 38a',

As described above, according to the present invention, there is provided a tape recorder in which a transparent decorative cover is removably fitted to the upper surface side of a cassette holder in which a holder portion for storing and holding a cassette is formed to constitute a cassette cover. fitting portions are integrally formed on both sides of the cassette holder, and mounting bodies that fit with the fitting portions of the cassette holder are fitted on both side portions of the decorative lid, respectively; Since the decorative lid is fitted to the upper surface side of the cassette holder through the fitting relationship between the mounting body and the fitting part, the decorative lid can be fitted with an L for fitting as in the conventional case. Since the letter-shaped hooks, fitting protrusions, etc. are integrally formed, there is no possibility that forming holes, mold parting lines, etc. will occur on the upper surface side and spoil the external design of the decorative lid. Therefore, there is no need to perform secondary processing such as a decorative plate or painting or hot stamping to cover the molding hole or the parting line of the mold, and the entire upper surface of the decorative lid can be used effectively. Since it is possible to do this, there are no design restrictions, and its effects are of extremely high practical value.
