Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a handle attachment device, and more particularly to a handle attachment device for attaching a handle to a portable device such as a cassette tape recorder in a foldable manner.

[Background of the invention] As shown in Fig. 1, there is a handle attachment device in which the handle 10 can be freely tilted from a horizontal position to a perpendicular position with respect to the mounting surface of the device 12. Various structures have been proposed. For example, from a simple structure in which the rotation point base of the handle is attached directly to the outer surface of the housing with a tightening screw, to a bearing member installed on the inner wall of the housing, and this bearing member is attached to the rotation of the handle. There are various types, including those in which a point base is attached and the attached portion is not visible from the outside.

However, conventional handle attachment devices tend to emphasize design and reduction of the number of parts, and do not take measures such as improving installation workability into consideration, making it difficult to attach the turning point base of the handle. The situation was ripe. Further, when the pivot base of the handle is provided with a bearing member on the inner wall side of the casing, it has to be provided on both sides of the device, which poses the problem of restricting the mounting position of the pivot base.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and proposes a handle mounting device that is not restricted by the mounting position of the rotating support portion of the handle and has a simple mounting operation and structure. The purpose is to

[Summary of the invention] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a guide rib in the storage groove of the handle, and also attaches a holding member for pivotally supporting the rotating base of the handle to the guide rib with the handle attached. Therefore, the holding member is inserted and fixed to the housing with screws or the like.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the handle attachment device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of essential parts showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a front view.

Handle fittings 14 are attached to both ends of a rod-shaped handle 10 made of molded synthetic resin or the like in a right angle direction, either integrally with the handle 10 or by screwing a separate member such as metal. A shaft hole 16 is provided for rotatably supporting the shaft. This shaft hole 1
a holding member 20 having a shaft 18 that fits into the shaft 18 and a sliding member 22 connected to the shaft 18 in a T-shape;
However, when installing the handle, there is a wave washer 2 inside the handle fitting 14.
It is attached via 4.

A handle 1 is provided on the top surface of the housing 26 of the device 12.
0 is attached, and when the handle 10 is tilted to a horizontal position, the handle 10 is attached to the housing 26.
A handle attachment groove 30 is provided so as to be embedded within the plane. The width of the handle attachment groove 30 is slightly wider than the sum of the length of the shaft 18 and the width of the slide member 22. The handle fitting 14 of this handle mounting groove 30
On the outer side, guide ribs 32 and 34 are provided parallel to the longitudinal direction of the groove for guiding the head having a width of 18 on the upper and lower surfaces during insertion, as shown in FIG. Further, on the opposite side surface, guide ribs 36 and 38 are arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the groove at intervals slightly longer than the height of the slide member 22, and guide the slide member 22 during insertion, as shown in FIG. It is provided. In order to allow the handle fitting 14 to rotate freely within the handle mounting groove 30, a diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the handle fitting 14 centered around the shaft hole 16 is provided on the slide member 22 near the base of the shaft 18. A ring 28 is provided. Furthermore, screw mounting holes 42a and 42b are provided at both ends of the slide member 22 at positions located on the same line within the handle mounting groove 30 with respect to the screw through holes 40 provided on the housing wall surface within the handle mounting groove 30. It will be done.

In the above configuration, when attaching the handle 10 to which the handle attachment fitting 14 is attached to the housing 26, the shaft 1 of the holding member 20 is attached via the wave washer 24.
8 into the shaft hole 16 from the inside of the handle fitting 14 (insert the holding member 20 into the other handle fitting in the same way), and while maintaining this state, attach the two holding members 20 to the handle. Insert into groove 30.
In this case, the slide member 22 is connected to the guide ribs 36 and 3.
8, insert the end of the shaft 18 between the guide ribs 32 and 34, push it into the handle mounting groove 30 until it stops at the housing wall, and then insert the screw 44 from inside the housing 26. Mounting hole 4
2b, and the holding member 20 is attached to the housing 2.
6, the installation work is completed.
In this way, in the case of the present invention, it is only necessary to provide the handle attachment groove 30 and insert and fix the holding member 20 with the handle fitting 14 attached to the handle attachment groove 30.
Since all that is required is a space for installing the handle attachment groove 30, there is no restriction on the installation location as in the past.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to the handle attachment device of the present invention, attachment is completed by attaching the handle to the holding member, inserting it into the attachment groove, and fixing it with screws. In addition to simplifying the installation work,
Since the housing only needs to be provided with mounting grooves and guide ribs, the structure can be simplified. Furthermore, since there are almost no restrictions on the mounting position of the rotational fulcrum, design restrictions can be reduced.
