Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The invention is designed to provide speedometers and
The present invention relates to a vehicle instrument mounting device in which a case incorporating a plurality of instruments such as a tachometer and a fuel gauge is attached to a handle frame.

In this type of device, the case is screwed to the frame mounting bracket in two places on the back and in two places on the bottom, but in this case, the case has a back cover to hide the wiring cords etc. that are routed around the back side. The cover is also screwed to the bracket using the screws on the back of the case. However, as the case became larger, there was a risk that the two screws on the back cover could come off due to vibrations from the car body.

The present invention aims to improve such inconveniences and makes it possible to securely attach the back cover without increasing the number of attachment screws that would impair the appearance.

To explain this with reference to the illustrated embodiment, reference numeral 1 denotes a case, in which a plurality of instruments are incorporated, and a top cover 3 having a lens 2 is fixed on the front surface thereof, and a pair of supporting legs 4 protruding from the bottom surface of the case. The case 1 is screwed to the bottom piece 6a and the vertical piece 6b of the frame mounting bracket 6 via a pair of seats 5 protruding from the back surface thereof, and the case 1 is further blocked by a back cover 8. is fitted onto the outer periphery of the upper lid 3 at the front, and is screwed to a bracket 6 via screws 7 together with the catch seat 5 at the rear.

Although these are not different from conventional ones, in the present invention, an engagement hole 10 is provided on the upper surface of the upper lid 3 to engage an engagement piece 9 protruding from the front surface of the cover 8, and an engagement hole 10 is provided in the middle part of the cover 8. A cylindrical body 11 for screw insertion is provided inwardly protruding, and a seat portion 11a is provided at the end thereof to abut against the vertical piece 6b of the bracket 6.
The front end 12a is located at the lower end of the cover 8.
A piece 12 that protrudes forward by a distance d that is smaller than a.
It has been established.

In this way, according to the present invention, the upper cover 3 is provided with an engagement hole 10 on its upper surface for engaging the engagement piece 9 protruding from the front surface of the cover 8, and the cover 8 is provided with an engagement hole 10 that projects inwardly and upwardly. Since a cylindrical body 11 for screw insertion that comes into contact with the bracket 6 and a contact piece 12 slightly longer than the cylindrical body 11 are provided, the cover 8 is attached to the bracket 6 together with the case 1 by the screws 7 that are inserted into the cylindrical body 11. When it is fixed to the back cover 8, a force in the direction of arrow A with the front end 12a of the contact piece 12 as a fulcrum and the seat 11a as a point of force is applied to the back cover 8, and the engagement piece 9 is strongly pressed against the engagement hole 10, causing displacement. It has the effect of being able to be firmly installed without any problems.
