JPH0945063A - Video cassette recorder front panel - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] Arm 3 is installed under door 1 and front panel 2 is installed.
When there is a receiving member 4 that restricts the movement of the door 1, the arm 3 and the receiving member 4 are made of metal. [Effect] The strength in the vicinity of the supporting portion can be increased more than before.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a front panel of a video cassette recorder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A video cassette recorder provided with a door for covering a front panel has a door opening angle regulating portion in which plastics are in contact with each other.

[0003]

When a metal plate for reinforcing purpose is included in the door, the strength of the door is maintained by the metal plate, but the portion that controls the opening angle of the door receives a concentrated load. Even if an attempt is made to keep the strength by making the inside metal, the contact part may be plastic and the problem of breaking the plastic parts may occur.

It is an object of the present invention to increase the strength of front panel doors.

[0005]

According to the present invention, both the arm provided below the door and the receiving member of the front panel are made of metal.

Further, according to the present invention, the metal plate and the arm for the purpose of reinforcing the door are integrated.

Further, according to the present invention, the holder component to which the rotary shaft of the door is attached and the receiving member are integrated.

[0008]

In the present invention, since the arm on the door side and the receiving member on the front panel side are made of metal, they can withstand a higher load than those made of plastic.

Further, the present invention has a simple structure in which the door side arm and the door reinforcing metal plate are integrated.

Furthermore, the present invention reduces the number of parts by integrating the receiving member and the holder part.

[0011]

1 is an explanatory view showing an embodiment of the structure of a front panel according to the present invention.

A door 1 is attached to the front panel 2 of the video cassette recorder so as to cover the front panel. Both ends of the door are held by fulcrums 5 so that the lower end of the door can rotate about the axis, and the door rotates about the fulcrum. The arm sticks out from under the door, and when the door rotates, the arm also rotates. A receiving member is installed at a position in contact with the arm when the door is opened in the horizontal direction, and restricts the movement of the door so that the door does not rotate to a larger angle.

In the above structure, when a load is applied in the tangential direction of the door surface and downward when the door is opened, the load concentrates on the receiving member and the arm, so that at worst, the receiving member and the arm are destroyed, or the periphery thereof. Happens. Therefore, the receiving member and the arm are made of metal so that the strength is higher than that of plastic and the destruction is suppressed.

FIG. 2 uses a metal plate 6 in which a plate for reinforcing the arm and the door are integrated.

FIG. 3 uses a holder 7 in which a holder for fixing the fulcrum and a receiving member are integrated.

FIG. 4 uses a metal plate and a holder.

[0017]

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the strength in the vicinity of the supporting portion can be increased more than ever before.

According to another embodiment, by using a part of the metal plate for reinforcement as an arm, it is not necessary to separately manufacture the arm and the metal plate.

According to another embodiment, by using a part of the holder for fixing the fulcrum portion as a receiving member, it is not necessary to separately manufacture the arm and the holder.
