Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of application) The present invention relates to mounting parts for switches, indicator lamps, etc. in copying machines, etc., and in particular, parts that can be easily fixed and positioned without using screws or the like. It relates to a mounting member.

(Prior art) In electrical equipment such as copying machines and facsimile machines,
Components such as switches and indicator lamps of the operation panel are often attached to a window provided in the cover or a frame corresponding to the window using fixing means such as screws.

However, when attaching these parts by screwing, welding, caulking, etc., it is necessary to adjust the position of the mounting hole of the part, the mounting part of the part, and its size in order to match it with the predetermined position of the cover or frame. In addition to requiring accuracy in
It is necessary to perform installation work while making sufficient vertical and horizontal adjustments.

Furthermore, when attaching parts such as switches, it is necessary to use other members such as screws and a screwdriver, which increases the manufacturing cost of the device. Further, it has the disadvantage that special tools must be used during assembly and adjustment work.

(Purpose) This invention uses a bracket formed by bending a plate into an approximately inverted L shape to fix parts to the upper plate, and also allows for easy positioning by inserting the bent plate into a groove provided in the frame. The purpose is to make it possible to fix it.

(Configuration) The bracket of the present invention is made by bending a metal plate to form an almost inverted L.
It is constructed in the shape of a letter, and parts such as a switch can be fixed on the top plate.Furthermore, a cutout piece is provided in the folded plate that hangs vertically down from the top plate. When the both sides are inserted into the grooves of the frame, it can be easily fixed.

Then, a mounting groove is formed in the lower frame of the window formed on the cover, a bending plate is inserted into this groove, and the elasticity of the cutout piece presses the bending plate against the wall of the groove. When fixed, the elastic body placed between the frame and the top plate pushes the top plate upward and fixes the parts to the bottom surface of the cover. Therefore, a predetermined object such as a push button is positioned in the window of the cover.

Furthermore, if it is desired to fix another member to the lower surface of this bracket, grooves can be provided in parallel to the frame and pressed with an elastic body.

(Example) As shown in FIG. 1, the bracket 1 of the present invention has an upper plate 2 and a bent plate 3 formed by bending a metal plate into a substantially inverted L shape. The folding plate 3 is provided with cutout pieces 4 bent in a substantially dogleg shape on both sides thereof, the lower part of which is connected to the folding plate. Furthermore, an elastic body 5 made of rubber or plastic foam is attached to the lower surface of the upper plate 2 of the bracket 1. A switch 6 is fixed to the upper part of the upper plate 2 by screws or adhesive.

A device such as a copying machine is provided with a window 11 for attaching an operation panel etc. to a cover 10 provided to cover the frame thereof, and corresponding to this window 11,
A pair of grooves 9, 9 are formed in the lower frame 8.

By forming the width between the bottoms of the grooves 9, 9 to be approximately the same as the width of the folding plate, the bracket is prevented from moving laterally when inserted into the groove. Furthermore, when the side part of the bending plate 3 is inserted into the groove 9, the dogleg-shaped cutout piece 4 is pressed by the surfaces on both sides of the groove, and its elasticity causes the side part of the bending plate 3 to be inserted into the groove. Bracket 1
is fixed to the frame 8. Moreover, since the elastic body 5 is pressed between the upper surface of the frame 8 and the upper plate, it acts to push the upper plate 2 upward.

Therefore, by attaching the switch 6 to the bracket 1 and fixing the bracket to the frame 8, the upper surface of the switch 6 is pressed and positioned around the window 11 of the cover 10, as shown in FIG. As in, window 10 has switch 6.
button 7 will protrude. Also, window 11
However, when it slightly deviates from the upper plate 2, the bent plate 3
The position can be easily adjusted by bending it in that direction.

As mentioned above, the bracket 1 of the present invention makes it possible to easily mount switches and indicator lamps in the required positions.Furthermore, there is no need to use any tools to mount the brackets, and the only work required is to push the brackets in by hand. This can be done easily.

Further, when the frame 8 holds the substrate 12, etc., a groove 9a is provided parallel to the groove 9, and the substrate 12 is inserted between the grooves 9a, 9a, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. 12 to the upper surface of the elastic body 5
You can also press it to fix it.
In this case, one bracket 1 can simultaneously fix the switch 6 and the board 12.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the upper plate 2 of the bracket 1 can be provided with a switch 6, an indicator lamp, and a handling indication.

(Effects) The component mounting member of the present invention allows parts such as switches to be fixed to the upper plate of the bracket, and the parts can be easily set in a copying machine etc. by simply inserting them into the grooves of the frame. There is no need to use any special tools. Furthermore, when a component or the like is displaced from the window of the cover, it can be easily set by simply bending the bending plate of the bracket slightly in that direction and adjusting its position.

Therefore, there is no need to use screws or the like when assembling parts, and the work can be done quickly.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] A bracket is constituted by integrally forming an upper plate and a bent plate by bending a flat plate into a substantially inverted L shape, and in the bracket, both sides of the bent plate are cut out. Then, the lower ends of the cutout pieces are connected to the bending plate, and each cutout piece is formed in the same direction in a substantially dogleg shape, so that the center part of the cutout piece is connected to the bending plate. Further, by integrally attaching an elastic body to the lower surface of the upper plate, and inserting the bent plate of the bracket into the frame of the holding member, the bent plate and the notch piece can be separated. The bracket is fixedly held by the bracket, and an elastic body is interposed between the surface of the holding member and the upper plate, so that electrical parts etc. can be attached to the upper surface of the upper plate of the fixedly held bracket. A mounting member for parts, etc. characterized by being configured as follows.
