Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a positioning device for a slide panel that is slidably provided in a cabinet or the like.

(Prior art) Recently, due to design issues in electrical equipment, especially television receivers, various operating switches such as channel switching buttons and volume control knobs have become able to be housed inside the equipment body when not in use. Various types have been developed. Conventional equipment is generally configured as shown in FIG. 1 in order to allow various operation switches to be stored when not in operation.
First, a storage recess 3 is formed in a device cabinet 1 to store a slide panel 2 on which various operation switches (not shown) are provided.
An opening 4 is provided on the rear surface, and a plurality of positioning protrusions 5, 5, . . . are integrally provided on the inner side surface. Further, a sliding plate 7 is attached to the outer side surface of the storage recess 3 by protrusions 6, 6 formed integrally with the storage recess 3. Further, a lock plate 8 is slidably attached to the outer side surface of the storage recess 3 with screws 9, so that it partially contacts the sliding plate 7. On the other hand, a recess 10 is provided on the rear surface of the slide panel 2, and a fixing piece 12 having an engaging recess 11 for engaging the lock plate 8 is attached to this recess 10 with screws 13. The tip of the lock plate 8 is engaged with the engagement recess 11, and the slide panel 2 is made of an elastic material (not shown).
It is held in the stored state so that it is substantially flush with the surface of the cabinet 1 against the force of the cabinet 1.

When the slide panel 2 is taken out, the push button 14 provided on the cabinet 1 is pressed. As a result, the sliding plate 7 is slid, and the lock plate 8 is also slid by the inclined surface 7a of the sliding plate 7.
The engagement with the engagement recess 11 provided in the fixed piece 12 is released. Therefore, the slide panel 2 is pushed forward by the force of the elastic material.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional positioning device described above, since the convex portions 5, 5, . . . for positioning the slide panel 2 are provided on both side surfaces of the storage recess 3, The slide panel 2 may be damaged by the storage recess 3 due to manufacturing errors or expansion and contraction of the slide panel 2 due to temperature changes.
The drawback was that it caused rattling inside. In addition, since the fixing piece 12 that holds the slide panel 2 in the stored state is formed separately and is attached to the slide panel 2 with screws 13, the slide panel 2 may be lowered from above the surface of the cabinet 1 due to misalignment of the mounting position. It was protruding or recessed, making it unsightly.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional device described above, and has a protruding rib for positioning only in one place in the center of the storage recess, and also allows the slide panel to be placed in the storage state. A holding piece is provided integrally with the slide panel.

(Example) Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained according to the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. First, the cabinet 15 has a storage recess 17 in which the slide panel 16 is stored.
A through hole 18 is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the storage recess 17 from the front to the rear end, and a window hole 19 is provided in the rear surface so as to be in contact with the through hole 18. A protruding rib 20 is attached to the through hole 18 by screws 21 so as to cover the through hole 18 . Further, a protrusion 2 formed integrally with the storage recess 17 is provided on the outer side surface of the storage recess 17.
A sliding plate 23 is attached by 2 and 22.
Further, a lock plate 24 is slidably attached to the outer rear surface of the storage recess 17 with screws 25, 25 so as to partially abut the sliding plate 23.
On the other hand, a positioning groove 26 into which the rib 20 is inserted is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the slide panel 16. Further, a U-shaped fixing piece 27 is integrally formed and protrudes from the extension of the groove 26 on the rear surface, and an engagement recess 28 that engages with the lock plate 24 is formed on one side of the fixing piece 27. is formed, and normally a lock plate 24 is formed in this engagement recess 28.
is engaged to hold the slide panel 16 in the stored state against the force of an elastic member (not shown).

When the push button 29 provided on the cabinet 15 is pressed when removing the slide panel 16, the slide plate 23 is first slid. Next, the lock plate 24 is slid by the inclined portion 23a of the sliding plate 23, and the engagement with the engagement recess 28 provided in the fixed piece 27 is released. Therefore, the slide panel 2 is pushed forward by the force of the elastic material.

The slide panel 16 in the embodiment as described above
In this positioning device, the rib 20 for positioning the slide panel 16 is provided only in one central part, so even if there is an error in the length of the slide panel 16 or the storage recess 17 due to manufacturing errors or the influence of temperature, no wobbling occurs. There is no risk of this happening. Also, a fixing plate 27 that holds the slide panel 16 in a stored state.
Since it is formed integrally with the slide panel 16, there is no possibility of displacement due to installation errors.

(Effects) As described above, the slide panel positioning device of the present invention consists of a storage recess formed in the cabinet of the device and a slide panel slidably attached to the storage recess. A protruding rib is formed in the center of the bottom surface from the front to the rear end, and a groove into which the protruding rib is inserted is integrally formed in the center of the bottom of the slide panel, and a rear end extension of the groove is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the slide panel. is integrally formed with a protruding fixing piece, and an engaging recess is formed in the fixing piece, and the distal end of the fixing piece is engaged with the engaging recess of the fixing piece when the slide panel is stored in the housing recess. Since the locking means is provided with a locking plate, it is possible to prevent rattling and also to prevent the storage position from shifting.
