Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a blind plug for a hole in a cover of an electronic device.

(Background Art) A conventional blind stopper will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 5 is an external view of the conventional blind plug 1 when it is installed. The blind plug 1 is attached to cover an optional or unnecessary hole in a cover 2 of an electronic device.

Figure 6a shows the blind plug 1 attached to the cover in Figure 5.
FIGS. 6b and 6c are cross-sectional views of the blind stopper 1.
FIG.

A conventional blind stopper 1 includes a flat plate-like substrate 1a having a substantially rectangular surface, and two substantially rectangular hook portions 5 protruding perpendicularly and parallel to one another from one surface of the substrate 1a.
The hook part 5 has an elongated tip part 5a for engaging with a hole in the cover 2 in the longitudinal direction of its free end. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6b, the conventional blind plug 1 is made of a strong elastic material such as rubber as the main material, and utilizes elasticity for installation and removal.
Using a material that deforms the material greatly or a low-elasticity material such as plastic, make a recess 3 around the cover 2 (or a blind plug) as shown in Figure 6c, insert a tapered tool 4, and remove it using a lever. There are many structures. However, these had drawbacks such as being difficult to remove, being expensive, being scratched by tools, and having a strange appearance.

(Problem of the invention) In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the problem of the invention is to solve the problems of the prior art. The stopper is further provided with a wedge-shaped swash plate extending from one end of the hook in the same direction as the hook, and the cover of the electronic device and the blind stopper are firmly attached to the hook at the hook. An object of the present invention is to provide a blind plug for a hole in a cover of an electronic device, which is improved so that it can be easily removed due to a long and narrow slope part forming the oblique side of a swash plate.

(Structure and operation of the invention) Examples of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a blind plug 10 showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. The blind stopper 10 consists of a flat plate-shaped substrate 10a having a substantially rectangular surface and a pair of hooks protruding perpendicularly and parallel to one another from one surface of the substrate 10a. The hook has a hook 5 and a swash plate 6 extending from one end of the hook 5 in the same direction as the hook 5.

The hook part 5 has an elongated tip part 5a protruding outward in the longitudinal direction of its free end to engage with the cover 2 of the electronic device, and a rectangular neck plate 5b having a height corresponding to the thickness of the cover 2. and has.

The wedge-shaped swash plate 6 having a right-angled triangular surface, which is a characteristic part of the present invention, has an oblique side extending from one side end of the neck plate 5b below the tip portion 5a of the hook portion 5 to one side of the base plate 10a. The remaining two sides sandwiching the right angle are connected to one side end of the hook plate 5b of the hook portion 5 and one surface of the board 10a, and the two sides sandwiching the remaining right angle are connected to one side end of the hook plate 5b of the hook portion 5 and one surface of the substrate 10a. They form a unified hook.

FIGS. 2 and 3 show a method for removing the blind stopper 10 of the above embodiment. By pushing the end 8 of the blind plug 10 in the direction of the arrow 7A, the blind plug 10 is moved in the direction of the arrow 7B shown in FIG. A force acts in the outward direction of the cover 2 to cause elastic deformation in the hook 5 of the blind plug 10, so that the blind plug 10 can be easily removed from the hole 9 of the cover 2 of the electronic device.

FIG. 4 shows a blind plug 20 showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. The blind plug 20 has a swash plate 6' which is a partially modified wedge-shaped diagonal wave 6 of the first embodiment, and is otherwise the same as the blind plug 10 of the first embodiment. The swash plate 6' of the blind plug 20 has a rising portion 6b at a portion where the elongated slope portion 6'a of the swash plate 6' rises from one surface of the base plate 20a. As a result, when the blind plug 20 is attached to the cover 2 of an electronic device, it is firmly positioned in the direction of the arrow 7A, and is improved so that it can be easily removed when removed.

(Effects of the invention) The blind plug according to the invention is strongly connected to the cover by the hook for connecting it to the cover, and when removed, it can be removed with a small amount of force without using any tools due to the wedge-shaped swash plate. It becomes possible to remove the blind plug, and there is no need for a recess as a means for removing the blind plug, which has the effect of significantly improving the appearance.
