【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、機器筐体におけるベースの開放部にカバーを有頭ネジの締め付けにより着脱自在に取り付けるようにするほか、ネジを適度に緩めた状態のもとにカバーを取り外すことができるようにした型式の機器筐体におけるカバー取付装置に関するものであり、電気機器の筐体,家具の筐体,機械の筐体,輸送用筐体,その他の種々の筐体が適用対象となる。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のこの種のカバー取付装置としては、例えば図6および図7のように、箱形ベースAの前方開放部BにカバーCを有頭ネジDにより着脱自在に取り付けるようにし、かつカバーCには通称だるま形の孔Eを穿設すると共に、ベースAには雌ネジ部Fを形成し、もって雌ネジ部Fに有頭ネジDを途中までねじ込んだ状態のもとに、カバーCをその孔Eにおける大径部にネジDの頭部が挿通するようにベースAの開放部Bに当接した後、ネジDが孔Eにおける小径部に対応するようにスライドし、その後ネジDを締め付けて固定するようにした型式がある。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記従来装置によれば、カバーCを取り付けた後において、だるま形の孔Eの大径部からベースAの内部が見えるばかりでなく、外部から異物,塵埃,害虫等の侵入を来し易い欠点があるほか、ネジDの頭部がカバーCの表部に突出するから、重ね合わせに不便で、かつ体裁も悪いという欠点があり、その他外形寸法の表示に際して、ネジDの頭部を含めた大型寸法に表示しなければならない等の不利がある。
【0004】
ベースAの内部が見えないようする方策として、図7に鎖線で示すように、孔Eの大径部に対応するベースAの一部に板状の目隠しGを設けることが考えられるが、このような目隠しGをベースAと一体的にプラスチック成形により設ける場合は成形用金型が著しく複雑となり、また別体に設ける場合には構造が複雑かつ組み立てが煩雑となる欠点がある。
【0005】
そこで本発明の目的は、ネジを緩めた状態のもとにカバーの取り外しが可能な型式の機器筐体におけるカバー取付装置において、簡単な構成のもとに、カバーの表部にネジが突出しない構造で、かつ異物,塵埃,害虫等が侵入し難い構造のカバー取付装置を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記目的を達成するため、ベース(1)の開放部(2)にカバー(3)を有頭ネジ(5)の締め付けにより着脱自在に取り付けるようにするほか、ネジ(5)を適度に緩めた状態のもとにカバー(3)を取り外すことができるようにした型式の機器筐体において、ベース(1)の開放部(2)よりも内方に設けられた雌ネジ部(4)と、カバー(3)の前記雌ネジ部(4)に対応する位置にカバー主体部の外面から略垂直に陥没した状態で設けられた座面部(6)とを有し、前記座面部(6)は、ネジ(5)の頭部に対接する受面(6b)と、カバー主体部の外面から該受面(6b)の周囲まで略垂直に延びる側壁と、該受面(6b)の略中央からカバー装着方向に延び、ネジ(5)の軸径よりも少し大きい幅を持つ切欠(6a)とを備えており、さらに、前記切欠(6a)に連続して座面部(6)の前記側壁に形成され、ネジ(5)の頭部付近を側方から通過させることができる開通部(7)を有し、カバー装着時に、ネジ(5)の頭部の側方の一部が前記受面(6b)から食み出して前記開通部(7)に入り込むことにより、該開通部(7)を塞ぐようになっていることを特徴とするものである。このような構成により、ネジの頭部はカバー表部に突出することなく、かつ、ネジの頭部付近を座面部側方の開通部に通過させつつカバーをスライドして着脱させることができ、だるま形の大型孔を穿設する必要性がない。
【0007】
尚、開通部の少なくとも一部が、カバー主体部の内面に形成された凹部によって構成されてもよい。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明装置を図面に示す実施形態について詳細に説明する。
【0009】
適用対象としての機器筐体としては、例えば図1および図2のように、前方全面が開放された箱形のベース1における解放部2に板状のカバー3を着脱自在に取り付けるようにするほか、ベース1内には取り付け用の雌ネジ部4をボス4aに対する雌ネジ4bの埋設により設けると共に、これに対してカバー3には前記雌ネジ部4に対応する位置に、有頭ネジ5の頭部に対接する座面部6を設けて、ベース1の開放部2にカバー3を冠せかけた状態のもとにネジ5により締め付け固定する型式を採択する。
【0010】
上記型式の機器筐体に対する本発明の特殊構成としては、例えば図1ないし図3のように、雌ネジ部4を、開放部2よりも底部寄りの内方位置に設けると共に、カバー3には、ネジ5の頭部に対接する受面6bと、受面6bの周囲からカバー主体部の外面まで略垂直に延びる側壁と、受面6bの略中央から側壁までカバー着脱方向に延び、ネジ5の軸径よりも少し大きい幅を持つ切欠6aとを備えた座面部6を、カバー主体部から陥没した状態で設けると共に、座面部6の一側方(図面において下方)には、ネジ5の頭部付近を通過させることができる開通部7を形成する。図1および図2からよく分かるように、カバー装着時にネジ5の頭部の側方の一部が受面6bから食み出して開通部7に入り込むことによってネジ5の頭部が開通部7を塞ぐように構成されているため、カバー装着時に、筐体内部をほぼ完全に遮蔽することができる。
【0011】
上記構成のもとに、図4のようにベース1における雌ネジ部4にネジ5を途中までねじ込んだまま、カバー3を開通部7付近の側部がネジ5の頭部に対応する状態のもとにベース1の開放部2に当接した後、座面部6がネジ5の頭部に対応するようにスライドして装着し、その後ネジ5を締め付けて固定するようにする。なおカバー3の取り外しに際しては、ネジ5を適度に緩めた後に、カバー3を前記装着の場合とは反対方向にスライドさせればよい。
【0012】
前記座面部6の深さについては、カバー3の板厚と、ネジ5の頭部の高さと、ネジ5の締め代とを加えた寸法に選定することが重要であるが、図5のようにカバー3における開通部7に隣接した裏面に凹部8を設けることにより、座面部6の深さを浅く形成することができる。
【0013】
なお、U字状の座面部6については、ネジ5に対するドライバの操作に支障とならない範囲において、U字の高さを低く選定することが望ましく、これによりベース1内外の連通間隙を最小限に制限することができる。また、座面部6について、これをU字状に限ることなく種々の形状に形成してもよい。
【0014】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、ネジ5の頭部が対接する座面部6をカバー主体部の外面から略垂直方向に陥没状態で設けると共に、座面部6の側方にネジ5の頭部を側方へ通過させることができる開通部7を設けたから、これにより著しく簡単な構成のもとに、カバー3の表部にネジ5の頭部を突出させることなく、しかも従来構造のだるま形孔のような大径孔を穿設する必要がない関係上、内部を体裁よく遮蔽するほか、異物,塵埃,害虫等の侵入を顧慮しないで済む利点がある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, the cover can be detachably attached to the open part of the base of the equipment housing by tightening the head screw, and the cover can be removed with the screw loosened moderately. The present invention relates to a cover mounting device for a type of equipment housing, and is applicable to electrical equipment housings, furniture housings, machine housings, transportation housings, and other various housings.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional cover attaching device of this type, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a cover C is detachably attached to a front opening B of a box-shaped base A with a head screw D, and the cover C is attached to the cover C. Is formed with a so-called daruma-shaped hole E, a female screw part F is formed in the base A, and the cover C is attached to the female screw part F with the headed screw D screwed partway. After contacting the opening B of the base A so that the head of the screw D passes through the large diameter part in the hole E, slide so that the screw D corresponds to the small diameter part in the hole E, and then tighten the screw D There is a model that is fixed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
According to the above-described conventional apparatus, after the cover C is attached, not only the inside of the base A can be seen from the large diameter portion of the daruma-shaped hole E, but also foreign substances, dust, insects, etc. can easily enter from the outside. In addition, since the head of the screw D protrudes from the front part of the cover C, there is a disadvantage that it is inconvenient to superimpose and poor in appearance, and the head of the screw D is included when displaying other external dimensions. There are disadvantages such as having to display in large dimensions.
[0004]
As a measure for preventing the inside of the base A from being seen, it is conceivable to provide a plate-like blindfold G on a part of the base A corresponding to the large diameter portion of the hole E as shown by a chain line in FIG. When such a blindfold G is provided integrally with the base A by plastic molding, there is a disadvantage that the molding die becomes extremely complicated, and when it is provided separately, the structure is complicated and assembly is complicated.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a cover mounting device for a device housing of a type in which a cover can be removed with a screw loosened, and the screw does not protrude from the front portion of the cover under a simple configuration. An object of the present invention is to provide a cover mounting device having a structure that is difficult for foreign matter, dust, insects and the like to enter.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention attaches the cover (3) to the opening (2) of the base (1) in a detachable manner by tightening the head screw (5). In a device housing of a type that allows the cover (3) to be removed under moderately loosened condition, a female screw portion (inside the opening (2) of the base (1) ( 4) and a seat surface portion (6) provided in a state of being substantially vertically depressed from the outer surface of the cover main body portion at a position corresponding to the female screw portion (4) of the cover (3), and the seat surface portion (6) includes a receiving surface (6b) that comes into contact with the head of the screw (5), a side wall extending substantially perpendicularly from the outer surface of the cover main body to the periphery of the receiving surface (6b), and the receiving surface (6b) A notch (6a) that extends in the cover mounting direction from the approximate center of the screw and has a width that is slightly larger than the shaft diameter of the screw (5) And an opening portion (7) formed on the side wall of the seat surface portion (6) continuously to the notch (6a) and capable of passing the vicinity of the head of the screw (5) from the side. When the cover is mounted, a part of the side of the head of the screw (5) protrudes from the receiving surface (6b) and enters the opening (7), so that the opening (7) It is characterized by the fact that it is designed to block . With such a configuration, the head of the screw does not protrude from the cover front portion, and the cover can be slid and detached while passing the vicinity of the head of the screw through the opening portion on the side of the seat surface portion, There is no need to drill a daruma-shaped large hole.
[0007]
Note that at least a part of the opening portion may be constituted by a recess formed on the inner surface of the cover main body.
