Abstract

A bracket (37) is fixed to a display unit (33), and is fixed to a base with a screw (46). When the base is covered with a cover, the display panel (33) is received between the base and the cover. A side wall (27) of a cover (18) is fixed to an elastic flat plate member (51) of the bracket (37) with a screw (22). The cover (18) is thus connected to the base (17). Even if the bracket (37) is spaced apart from the cover (18), the screw (22) can be tightened fully depending on elastic deformation of the elastic flat plate member (51). Even if the position of the bracket (37) is displaced, the cover (18) is fixed reliably to a bottom plate, or the base (17). Because the screw (22) is inserted from a side face of a housing, excellent appearance at the front face can be achieved.

力 ^かる筐体によれば、 力パーおよび底板の結合にあたって固定部材がカバ一や 底板に接近して配置されれば、 弾性平板部材は、 原形を維持しつつカバーや底板 に対して重ね合わせられることができる。 こうした重ね合わせに基づきカバーや 底板は相互に確実に結合される。 その一方で、 カバーおよび底板の結合にあたつ て固定部材がカバーや底板から遠ざかって配置されれば、 弾性平板部材は、 弾性 変形に基づきカバ一や底板に対して重ね合わせられることができる。 固定部材の 配置にずれが生じても、 カバ一および底板は相互に確実に結合されることができ る。 しかも、 底板の表面に平行な平板同士でカバーおよび底板が結合される場合 に比べてカバ一の正面で良好な見栄えは確保されることができる。  According to the strong housing, if the fixing member is arranged close to the cover or the bottom plate when connecting the force par and the bottom plate, the elastic flat member is superimposed on the cover or the bottom plate while maintaining the original shape. Can be done. Based on such overlap, the cover and the bottom plate are securely connected to each other. On the other hand, if the fixing member is arranged at a distance from the cover and the bottom plate when connecting the cover and the bottom plate, the elastic flat member can be overlapped with the cover and the bottom plate based on the elastic deformation. Even if the fixing member is displaced, the cover and the bottom plate can be securely connected to each other. In addition, a good appearance can be ensured in front of the cover as compared with the case where the cover and the bottom plate are joined by flat plates parallel to the surface of the bottom plate.
固定部材には例えば底板に並列に広がる平板部材が連結されてもよい。 平板部 材には締結用孔が区画される。 この締結用孔には、 固定部材が底板およびカバー のいずれか一方に固定される際に所定の締結部品が受け入れられる。 このとき、 締結用孔には締結部品に対して所定の遊びが確保されることが望まれる。 こうい つた遊びによれば、 固定部材は底扳ゃカバーに対して適宜に位置決めされること ができる。  For example, a flat plate member extending in parallel with the bottom plate may be connected to the fixing member. A fastening hole is defined in the flat plate member. A predetermined fastening component is received in the fastening hole when the fixing member is fixed to one of the bottom plate and the cover. At this time, it is desired that a predetermined play for the fastening component is ensured in the fastening hole. According to such play, the fixing member can be appropriately positioned with respect to the bottom cover.
カバーや底板には、 底板に対して直立する姿勢で弾性平板部材に結合される側 壁が形成されてもよい。 弾性平板部材および側壁は、 底板に対して直立する姿勢 に維持される。 したがって、 底板の表面に平行な平板同士でカバ一および底板が 結合される場合に比べて確実に良好な見栄えは確保されることができる。 特に、 こういった構造によれば、 側壁および弾性平板部材の連結にあたってねじは利用 されることができる。 弹性平板部材には、 側壁を貫通するねじを受け入れるねじ 孔が形成される。 The cover and the bottom plate may have side walls coupled to the elastic flat member in a posture standing upright with respect to the bottom plate. The elastic flat plate member and the side wall are maintained in an upright posture with respect to the bottom plate. Therefore, a better appearance can be reliably ensured as compared with the case where the cover and the bottom plate are joined by flat plates parallel to the surface of the bottom plate. In particular, According to such a structure, a screw can be used for connecting the side wall and the elastic flat member. A screw hole for receiving a screw penetrating the side wall is formed in the flexible plate member.
カバーは、 背面で底板に向き合わせられる表板と、 表板の背面に取り付けられ て、 表板の外縁で連続する枠部材とを備えてもよい。 こういった筐体では枠部材 に側壁が形成されればよい。 表板はィヒ粧板として機能することができる。 良好な 見栄えは確実に実現されることができる。  The cover may include a front plate facing the bottom plate on the rear surface, and a frame member attached to the rear surface of the front plate and continuous with an outer edge of the front plate. In such a case, the side wall may be formed on the frame member. The top plate can function as a decorative plate. Good looks can be reliably achieved.
以上のような筐体は、 特にパネル部材の収容にあたって利用されることが望ま れる。 パネル部材は底板およびカバーの間に収容されればよい。 こういった筐体 では、 例えばねじ孔の形成にあたつてカバーや底板の側壁には十分な高さが確保 されることができない。 前述のような固定部材ゃ弹性平板部材が利用されない限 り、 カバーおよび底板の結合にあたって筐体の側面から例えばねじといつた締結 部品が差し込まれることはできない。  It is desirable that the above-mentioned housing is used particularly for housing panel members. The panel member may be accommodated between the bottom plate and the cover. In such a case, for example, when forming a screw hole, a sufficient height cannot be secured on the side wall of the cover or the bottom plate. Unless the fixing member and the flat plate member as described above are used, it is not possible to insert a fastening component such as a screw from the side of the housing when connecting the cover and the bottom plate.

On the other hand, if the panel member is defined by the minimum allowable dimension, the elastic flat member can be superimposed on the cover based on the elastic deformation. In spite of the difference in dimensions of the panel members, the cover can be securely connected to the bottom plate. However, compared with the case where the cover and the bottom plate are connected by flat plates parallel to the surface of the bottom plate, Good appearance can be ensured in front of the cover.
第 1締結用孔は、 パネル部材の外周面から離れる方向に延長されてもよい。 こ うして第 1締結用孔には、 第 1締結用孔に受け入れられる締結部品に対して遊び が確保されることができる。 こういった遊びによれば、 パネル部材が最大許容寸 法で規定されても最小許容寸法で規定されても、 第 1平板部材は確実に底板に対 して位置決めされることができる。 パネル部材の大小に拘わらずパネル部材は確 実に底板に固定されることができる。  The first fastening hole may be extended in a direction away from the outer peripheral surface of the panel member. In this way, play can be ensured in the first fastening hole with respect to the fastening components received in the first fastening hole. According to such play, the first flat plate member can be reliably positioned with respect to the bottom plate regardless of whether the panel member is defined by the maximum allowable dimension or the minimum allowable dimension.

In the through hole 44, the screw 46 is arranged at a position closest to the LCD panel 33. The connecting flat plate member 48 and the third flat plate member 51 are closest to the outer edge of the base 17.
続いてベース 1 7にカバー 1 8が被せられる。 図 6に示されるように、 最大許 容寸法の L C Dパネル 3 3が組み込まれる場合には、 L C Dパネル 3 3とカバー 1 .8の側壁 2 7とは最小間隔 S P 1で向き合わせられる。 カバ一 1 8の側壁 2 7 は連結用平板部材 4 8および第 3平板部材 5 1の表面に重ね合わせられる。 カバ 一 1 8の側壁 2 7はねじ 2 2で第 3平板部材 5 1に連結される。 こうして L C D パネル 3 3の組み込みは完了する。  Subsequently, the cover 18 is put on the base 17. As shown in FIG. 6, when the LCD panel 33 having the maximum allowable dimension is incorporated, the LCD panel 33 and the side wall 27 of the cover 1.8 are opposed to each other at the minimum distance SP1. The side wall 27 of the cover 18 is overlaid on the surfaces of the connecting flat plate member 48 and the third flat plate member 51. The side wall 27 of the cover 18 is connected to the third flat plate member 51 with a screw 22. Thus, the incorporation of the LCD panel 33 is completed.
いま、 例えば図 7に示されるように、 最小許容寸法の L C Dパネル 3 3がディ スプレイ用筐体 1 4に組み込まれる場面を想定する。 この場合には、 貫通孔 4 4 は最もべ一ス 1 7の外縁から遠ざかる。 ねじ 4 6がボス 4 5のねじ穴にねじ込ま れると、 貫通孔 4 4内では L C Dパネル 3 3から最も遠ざかる位置にねじ 4 6は 配置される。 連結用平板部材 4 8および第 3平板部材 5 1はベース 1 7の外縁か ら最も遠ざかる。 続いてベース 1 7にカバー 1 8が被せられると、'カバ一 1 8の 側壁 2 7と連結用平板部材 4 8との間には隙間が形成される。 L C Dパネル 3 3 とカバ一 1 8の側壁 2 7とは最大間隔 S P 2で向き合わせられる。 しかしながら、 ねじ 2 2が第 3平板部材 5 1のねじ孔 3 5にねじ込まれるにつれて第 3平板部材 5 1には弾性変形が引き起こされる。 したがって、 ねじ 2 2は完全に締め付けら れることができる。 カバー 1 8の側壁 2 7は第 3平板部材 5 1に確実に連結され る。 なお、 ベース 1 7には、 例えばカバー 1 8 'の側壁 2 7に外側から接触する規 制片が形成される。 こういった規制片によれば、 カバー 1 8の側壁 2 7と連結用 平板部材 4 8との間に隙間が形成されても、 ベース 1 7に対してカバー 1 8の移 動は阻止されることができる。 連結後の第 3平板部材 5 1の弾性変形は阻止され ることができる。  Now, assume that the LCD panel 33 having the minimum allowable dimension is incorporated into the display housing 14 as shown in FIG. 7, for example. In this case, the through hole 44 is farthest from the outer edge of the base 17. When the screw 46 is screwed into the screw hole of the boss 45, the screw 46 is arranged in the through hole 44 at a position farthest from the LCD panel 33. The connecting flat plate member 48 and the third flat plate member 51 are farthest from the outer edge of the base 17. Subsequently, when the cover 18 is put on the base 17, a gap is formed between the side wall 27 of the cover 18 and the connecting flat plate member 48. The LCD panel 33 and the side wall 27 of the cover 18 face each other at the maximum distance SP2. However, as the screw 22 is screwed into the screw hole 35 of the third flat plate member 51, the third flat plate member 51 undergoes elastic deformation. Thus, the screw 22 can be completely tightened. The side wall 27 of the cover 18 is securely connected to the third flat plate member 51. Note that, on the base 17, for example, a regulation piece that contacts the side wall 27 of the cover 18 ′ from outside is formed. According to such a restricting piece, even if a gap is formed between the side wall 27 of the cover 18 and the connecting flat plate member 48, the movement of the cover 18 with respect to the base 17 is prevented. be able to. The elastic deformation of the third flat plate member 51 after the connection can be prevented.
