Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

  The invention is a video tape recorder, laser disk player, amplifier, Front panel opening and closing of the front panel of various audio equipment such as BS tuners Depending on the existing cover, dials, switches, etc. provided on the panel surface The present invention relates to a protective cover designed to prevent mischief by an infant.

[0002]

[Prior art]

  For example, in the case of a video tape recorder, the front panel part A large opening for loading cassette tapes and various operation dials Etc. are attached. And, conventionally, such a video tape recorder There was no adapter-like cover to protect the front part of the feeder.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

  With the video tape recorder as described above, it is possible to prevent mischief caused by an infant. I could not do it. That is, for example, insert a foreign object in the cassette tape loading port. Or scratch the head or move the adjustment dial to cancel the timer reservation. I couldn't prevent the mischief by the infant, which would be erased.   The present invention is not limited to such existing video tape recorders, but can be used with various audio It is possible to complete the above-mentioned mischief by installing it as an adapter to the electronic device. It is designed to prevent all problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  In the present invention, the entire front panel B in the audio equipment is provided with the protective cover body 1. Front cover of audio equipment, etc. It relates to the protective cover. Specifically, for example, in the video tape recorder A On both sides of the protective cover body 1 having a size enough to cover the entire front panel B in , The mounting arms 2 and 3 are symmetrically connected in series, and the mounting arm 2 , 3 to attach the base end of the video tape recorder A to the required location on the side It is pivotally attached to the pivot support pieces 4 and 5.

[0005]

【Example】

  The structure of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiment shown in FIGS. Is.   A is a video tape recorder, B is a front panel, and cassette tape loading There is a mouth m, an operation dial n, and other knobs for various adjustments or timer settings. It has been burned.

[0006]   1 is a size enough to cover the entire front panel B of the video tape recorder A And a protective cover body, which is mainly made of a synthetic resin material.

[0007]   2 and 3 are mounting arms, which are symmetrical on both sides of the protective cover body 1. Are installed consecutively.

[0008]   4 and 5 are pivotal supports in which the base ends of the mounting arms 2 and 3 are pivotally mounted. It is a piece that can be attached to a required place on the side of the video tape recorder A. Of. Then, the mounting is appropriately performed by sticking with an adhesive or screwing. However, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, it is formed on the back surface of the pivot piece 4, 5. The pressure-sensitive adhesive coating layers 4a and 5a are configured to be attached.

[0009]   By the way, in the embodiment shown in the drawings, the protective cover body 1 has an outward arc shape. The reason why the protective cover body 1 is opened and closed as shown in FIG. When rotated as indicated by the arrow, the upper edge corner of the video tape recorder A is This is because the cover body 1 is prevented from colliding with it. That is, the protective cover body 1 It is desirable to make it as close as possible to the front panel B, and for that reason, at the same rotation In order to avoid contact with the upper edge corner of the video tape recorder A, such a shape is used. It is a state.

[0010]   In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the protective cover body is moved forward and backward in addition to the rotational movement as described above. It is also configured to be able to.   That is, the first mounting arms 20 and 30 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the protective cover body 1. And the base end is rotatably attached to the pivot support pieces 40, 50. The first mounting arms 20 and 30 can be telescopically connected to the mounting arms 60 and 70. It is configured as follows.

[0011]   And, the connecting means of the first mounting arms 20, 30 to the second mounting arms 60, 70 However, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the first mounting arms 20 and 30 are drilled. Insert the control screw b attached to the second mounting arm 60, 70 into the horizontally elongated hole a. Therefore, both arms are connected so as to be extendable and contractible. However, both Other than this, as long as the arms can be extended and contracted, Yes.

[0012]   The present invention, as shown in FIG. By fixing the pivot support pieces 4 and 5, the video tape recorder A The surface panel B is attached so as to be covered with the protective cover body 1 and used. Shown in Figure 1 With the protective cover 1 flipped up, Do the operation of Dar A. Then, when it is not used, the protective cover body 1 is lowered. Rotate downward to hide the front panel B part and prevent children from playing mischief. Turn into a state. In addition, the present invention is not limited to such a video tape recorder. User disk player, amplifier, BS tuner, etc. General audio equipment equipped with speakers, switches, etc. Each has a square box shape and is equipped with dials, switches, etc. on the front panel. All types of audio equipment are intended for installation.

[0013]   In the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the protective cover body 1 can move forward and backward simultaneously with rotation. Since it is configured so that the front cover B is in contact with the protective cover body 1. Can be closely attached to and covered. That is, when the protective cover 1 is flipped up, When rotating for the first time, by moving the protective cover body 1 slightly forward, When avoiding contact with the upper edge of Precoder A and when covering the front panel B It is acceptable to use such a form that it is retracted to improve its adhesion. Be converted. It should be noted that in the case of the embodiment shown in FIG. Since contact with the upper edge of the dar A is avoided, the protective cover body 1 is There is no inconvenience even if it is formed in a flat plate shape without being curved in an arc shape.

[0014]

[Effect of device]

  The present invention is configured as described in claim 1, that is, in the audio device. Since the entire face panel is configured to be opened and closed by the protective cover body 1, For example, in the case of a video tape recorder, protect the front panel B when it is not used. By covering with the cover body 1, foreign matter is stored in the cassette tape loading port. If you put it in and damage the head or move the adjustment dial, You can prevent mischief by an infant, such as canceling a reservation.

[0015]   The present invention has a configuration as described in claim 2, that is, a configuration in an audio device. For mounting on both sides of the protective cover 1 that is large enough to cover the entire face panel The arms 2 and 3 are connected symmetrically and the base ends of the mounting arms 2 and 3 are attached. Parts to the pivot support pieces 4 and 5 for attaching the parts to the required positions on the side surface of the audio device. When attached to an existing audio device Will be enabled.

[0016]   The present invention is configured as described in claim 3, that is, the back surface of the pivot support pieces 4 and 5 is sensed. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating layers 4a and 5a are formed, it is suitable for audio equipment. The mounting is achieved very easily.

[0017]   The present invention is configured as described in claim 4, that is, the protective cover 1 is rotated and When it is configured so as to be able to move forward and backward, a protective cover body is attached to the front panel B. 1 can be closely attached so as to be in contact with and covered. That is, the protective cover body 1 At the time of rotation for flipping up, etc., it is necessary to move the protective cover body 1 slightly forward. To avoid contact with the top edge of the audio device, and When covering, use it in such a manner that it is retracted to improve its adhesion. Is allowed.
