である。In this way, by preparing only the decorative board (1) in two types, vertical and horizontal, it is possible to remove parts related to the display element of the display card (6) and their corresponding parts, i.e., the display chamber holes of the decorative board ( 1
a), Display window plate (2), stepped hole (4a) of mounting frame (4)
Make it a square that can be used for both purposes, and insert screw holes (4d) into the mounting plate (4) that correspond to the fixing holes (6a) of the display card (6).
By providing two sets at 90° angles from (4e) and (4e), it is possible to easily change the shape to either vertical or horizontal.

更に、表示器カード（６）の取付穴寸法で１１とｌｌｂ

ある。Furthermore, the mounting hole size of the display card (6) is 11 and llb.
Make four fixing holes (6a) with the same dimensions, and attach the mounting frame (
4) If 8 screw holes are provided in the panel, the variety of decorative boards will increase, but even for vertical products, the display window in Figure 1 is on the lower side, and for horizontal products, the display window in Figure 2 is on the right side. It is also possible to correspond to the following.

また上記実施例では、取付方向可能のためのねじ穴を取
付枠側へ６個設けたが、逆に取付枠へは（４ｄ）のねじ
穴８個のみにして表示器カードの方へ（６ａ）の固定穴

ても同様の効果がある。If you do not want a square window display room from a design standpoint, for example, make only the square hole in the decorative board and the square hole in the decorative board of the display window board into a round hole, or make the square hole in the mounting frame round. A similar effect can be achieved by making a hole.

このように本発明では、あらかじめ取付ねじ穴、固定穴
の追加と、化粧板の数種類の準備で、顧客の要求に応え
るととが可能で、部品点数を少なくして各種の形成量の
製作が容易に出来る特長がある。In this way, with the present invention, it is possible to meet customer requests by adding mounting screw holes and fixing holes in advance and preparing several types of decorative boards, and it is possible to reduce the number of parts and manufacture various forming amounts. It has the advantage of being easy to do.
