DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main part of the center of an instrument panel of an automobile, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a main part of the center of the instrument panel in a state where the main body is folded down, and FIG.
3 are cross-sectional views. In these figures, 1 is an instrument panel, 2 is an operation member such as an air conditioner,
Denotes an air conditioner outlet, and 4 denotes a navigation device. The main body 5 of the navigation device 4 also serves as an insertion portion for inserting software 6 such as an IC card. The main body 5 has an insertion port 7 formed on a side surface thereof, and has a display section 8, operation members 9. And so on. In this embodiment, the insertion portion is integrated with the main body 5 as described above. However, the insertion portion may be separately configured, that is, the main body 5 having the display portion 8 and the operation members 9 and the like and the insertion portion having the insertion opening 7 are provided. The unit may be separate from the unit. The lower end of the main body 5 has a pivot P as shown in FIG.
The instrument panel 1 is swingably attached to the storage section 10 of the instrument panel 1 via the, and can be tilted down to the vehicle compartment side as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2 or FIG. The storage position, and the state of the imaginary line in FIGS. 2 and 3 is the exposure position. As can be seen from these drawings, at the storage position of the main body 5, the insertion port 7 is located inside the storage section 10 and is not exposed to the outside (vehicle compartment side).
Is exposed to the outside.

The audio device 1 is located at the back of the storage unit 10.
2, a mounting flange 14 is provided on the back surface of the main body 13 of the audio device 12, and the mounting flange 14 is fixed to the vehicle body-side support member 15 via screws 16. An insertion slot 19 for CD software 18 and an insertion slot 21 for a cassette tape 20 are formed on the front face of the main body 13, and various operation members 22 for volume control and the like are arranged on the front face of the main body 13.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when inserting the software 6 into the navigation device 4, the main body 5 is tilted down to the cabin side as shown in FIG. Insert the software 6 from. Therefore, the main body 5 can be stored in the storage section 10 as shown in FIG. 1 except when the software 6 is inserted. When the main body 5 is set in the storage position in this manner, the insertion opening 7 is exposed to the outside. Instead, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering the inside from the insertion port 7. In addition, if the main body 5 is in the storage position, the insertion ports 19 and 21 of the audio device 12 can be closed by the main body 5,
It is possible to prevent dust or the like from entering the audio device 12 from the insertion ports 19 and 21. Further, in this embodiment, since the insertion slot 7 is formed on the side surface of the main body 5, when inserting the software 6, the software 6 can be inserted into the insertion slot 7 from the side, that is, from the left and right directions, thereby facilitating the insertion operation. be able to.

In the above-described embodiment, the navigation device is taken as an example of the vehicle-mounted device. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and can be applied to other vehicle-mounted devices. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the in-vehicle device may be an audio device. In this embodiment, the main body 50 is swingable as in the previous embodiment, and an insertion slot 52 for the CD software 51 is formed on a side surface of the main body 50. ing. The function and effect are the same as in the previous embodiment.
