Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to an improvement of a lid body in which a window plate such as a transparent plate or a decorative plate is fitted and attached near the center, thereby providing a window for internal viewing or decoration. .

A conventional lid of this type, for example, a lid with a see-through window for a washing machine, dehydrator, or clothes dryer, has an external shape as shown in FIG. 1, and the structure of the window is as shown in FIG. A mounting part 3 is formed around the periphery of a through hole 2 drilled near the center of the lid body 1, and a transparent plate 4 is placed on this mounting part 3 and fixed with screws 5. After that, a cover frame 6 was fitted to hide the mounting portion 3 and serve as a decorative edge.

Therefore, in this conventional method, not only is it necessary to take many man-hours to tighten the screws 5, but also the assembly is time-consuming.
There were drawbacks such as the risk of damaging the screws and damaging the screw tightening parts.

This invention was made in order to eliminate such drawbacks, and to provide a lid that is easy to assemble and is inexpensive, by making it possible to attach a transparent plate or the like to the lid body without using screws. be.

The details of this invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. That is, in FIG. 3, 1 is a lid body molded from synthetic resin, and has a through hole 2 at a suitable location, for example, near the center.
On the periphery of the lid body 1, there is a projecting portion 3a, and a plurality of hook portions 3b projecting from the projecting portion 3a in a raised shape.
A mounting portion 3 consisting of the following is integrally formed. Reference numeral 4 denotes a window plate such as a transparent plate or decorative plate which is placed on the mounting part 3 so as to cover the through hole 2, and as shown in FIG. A plurality of openings 4b are provided to be engaged with each other. Therefore, when the hook portion 3b is inserted into the opening 4b, the engaging portion 3c of the hook portion 3b and the outer edge portion 4c of the opening 4b are engaged, and the window plate 4 is temporarily fixed to the lid body 1. 6 fixes this window plate 4, and
A cover frame made of synthetic resin that decorates the fixed part, and this cover frame 6 has a plurality of hook parts 6a that are located back to back to the hook part 3b and that engage with the opening 4b of the window plate 4. It has been done. Therefore, when this cover frame 6 is fitted between the lid body 1 and the window plate 4, the engaging portion 6b of the hook portion 6a and the inner edge portion 4d of the opening 4b are engaged, and the lid body 1 and the window plate 4 are connected. The three parts of the cover frame 6 are firmly and neatly connected, and the assembly is completed.

As described above, this idea is to attach the window plate to the lid body by attaching a hook part placed on the attachment part of the lid body and a hook part and the back of the window plate to the opening provided on the outer peripheral edge of the window plate. Since it is constructed so that it can be done by inserting and engaging both hook parts of the cover frame that are mated together, there is no need to use screws or tools like in the conventional case, and therefore it is easy. It has the advantage of being easy to assemble, and there is less worry about damaging or damaging parts.
A lid body with a window can be obtained at low cost.

Although the above description has been made using a lid with a see-through window as an example, the same can be applied to a lid with a decorative window.
Further, in this case, the through hole 2 may not be necessary, and it goes without saying that its formation can be omitted.
