Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to an in-vehicle equipment mounting device for attaching in-vehicle equipment to an instrument panel.

[Background of the idea]

The mounting kits used to attach in-vehicle equipment to the instrument panel vary depending on the vehicle model, and are inconvenient.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention provides a mounting device that allows on-vehicle equipment to be easily mounted on an instrument panel.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention, which was created to achieve the above object, has the following configuration. That is, a mounting device for mounting a device body on a vehicle includes a bracket fixed to the vehicle side and into which the device body is fitted, a locking recess formed in a side wall of the bracket, and the locking portion of the device body. A plate-shaped elastic locking piece is provided on the side surface corresponding to the recess, and is provided facing outward and substantially perpendicular to the insertion direction of the device body, and as the device body is inserted, the locking piece is attached to the bracket. This is an on-vehicle device mounting device that is configured to abut on the device, retreat inward, reach a locking recess, return outward, and lock the device body.

The present invention will be explained in more detail below using examples with reference to the drawings, but these are merely illustrative, and it goes without saying that various modifications and improvements may be made without going beyond the scope of the present invention. It is.

[Example of idea]

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the in-vehicle equipment to be installed on the instrument panel and the bracket that houses the equipment.
FIG. 2 is a side view of the bracket attached to the instrument panel and the equipment to be housed in the bracket. In the figure, 1 is the bracket, 2 is the vehicle-mounted equipment, and 3 is the instrument panel.

First, drill a hole in the instrument panel at a predetermined location for the bracket to fit into, and insert the bracket 1. The bracket 1 has a width and height slightly larger than the height and width of the in-vehicle equipment 2, and
It consists of a frame body with a depth smaller than the depth of
is pulled up so as to insert the instrument panel 3 between the locking hole 5 into which the vehicle is inserted, a stopper 6 on the upper and lower surfaces of which restricts the insertion of the vehicle-mounted equipment, and the back surface of the stopper 6. It has a claw 7 facing the. A plate spring 8 having a vertically projecting locking piece 4 that is fitted into the locking hole 5 is fixed to the side surface of the vehicle-mounted device 2 . Locking piece 4
The front edge of the plate spring 8 is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, whereas the rear edge thereof is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction, and the locking piece 4 is arranged as shown in FIG. 3a. When the in-vehicle device 2 is bent slightly outward and inserted into the bracket 1 by applying force in the direction shown by the double arrow in FIG. 2, the locking piece 4 will be bent as shown in FIG. 3b. When it deforms and passes the distance D between the front edge of the bracket 1 and the front edge of the locking hole 5, the locking piece 4
enters the locking hole 5 and returns to its original state due to elasticity, and the front edge of the locking piece 4 and the front edge of the locking hole 5 engage. A protrusion 9 is provided on the upper and lower surfaces near the front edge of the in-vehicle device 2, and the back surface of the protrusion 9 and the locking piece 4
The distance C between the front edges of is also equal to the left distance D, and when the locking piece 4 engages with the locking hole 5, the projection 9 abuts against the stopper 6.

Near the front end of the leaf spring 8 there is a claw 1 raised towards the front that engages the front edge of the side wall of the bracket 1.
0 can also be provided to serve as a stopper.

Bracket 1 does not necessarily have to have the deep depth shown in FIG. 2, but only needs to be larger than D.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the in-vehicle device mounting device according to the present invention not only has a simple shape and allows for easy installation of in-vehicle devices, but also has the advantage that the mounting bracket does not get into the in-vehicle devices. .

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the in-vehicle equipment to be installed on the instrument panel and the bracket that houses the equipment.
Figure 2 is a side view of the bracket attached to the instrument panel and the equipment to be housed in the bracket, Figures 3a and b are front views of only one end of the in-vehicle equipment, and Figure 4 is a side view of the bracket attached to the instrument panel.

Claims (1)

[Scope of Claim for Utility Model Registration] A mounting device for mounting a device body on a vehicle, comprising: a bracket fixed to the vehicle side and into which the device body is fitted; a locking recess formed in a side wall of the bracket; It is provided on the side surface of the device main body corresponding to the locking recess, approximately perpendicular to the insertion direction of the device main body, and bent outward so that the tip side is away from the device main body, and the front side is provided in the device insertion direction. It has a plate-shaped elastic locking piece that is almost perpendicular to the bracket, and the back side is inclined so that the width on the tip side becomes narrower.As the device body is inserted, the locking piece moves into the bracket. An in-vehicle device mounting device characterized in that the device makes contact and retreats inward, reaches a locking recess, returns outward, and locks the device body.
