[0030]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
[0031]
When attaching the panel 20 to the cabinet 10, first, the rotating shaft 54 of the clip 50 is inserted into the through hole 46 of the panel 20 to attach the clip 50 to the lower end surface 44 of the panel 20. 4 shows the locking and unlocking operations of the clip 50 attached to the lower end surface 44 of the panel 20, and the orientation of the clip 50 is such that the handle portion 64 is placed on the panel as shown in FIG. 20 is projected to the surface 76 side, and the claw portion 70 of the stopper 68 is locked in the small hole 72 of the lower end surface 44. As a result, the clip 50 (main body portion 52) is held at that position.
[0032]
Next, the panel 20 is fitted into the recess 32 while the through hole 38 of the panel upper end surface 36 is inserted into the boss 34 located at the upper portion of the recess 32 provided in the left side wall unit 18. In this fitted state, the panel 20 is positioned in the vertical direction with the lower end surface 44 in contact with the rib 42, and the clip 50 is positioned in the notch 41 provided in the central portion of the rib 42, and the lower end surface 44 of the panel 20. And a gap 78 formed between the upper end surface of the lower frame 24 (unlocked state). The boss 40 is located on one end side of the guide surface 71 provided on the clip 50.
[0033]
In this state, when the grip portion 64 side of the side surface 58 of the clip 50 is pressed in the direction of arrow A in the figure, the stopper 68 is bent and the claw portion 70 is detached from the small hole 72, and the clip 50 has the rotation shaft 54 as the center of rotation. It rotates in the direction of arrow B in the figure. When rotated to a predetermined position, as shown in FIG. 4B, the hook portion 66 is locked to the boss 40 and the panel 20 is fixed (locked state). At almost the same time as this locking, the claw portion 70 is engaged with the small groove 74 by the elastic force of the stopper 68 to cause a click feeling. Further, at this position, the main body portion 52 of the clip 50, the recessed groove portion 60 and the handle portion 64 are accommodated in the gap 78, and the side surface 58 is aligned with the surface 76 of the panel 20 and the inner surface of the lower frame 24.

Thereby, compared with the conventional attachment structure using a screw etc., attachment workability | operativity and detachability become favorable. In particular, at the time of installation, the handle portion 64 protruding toward the storage space 12 can be easily locked by pressing, and in the removal, the concave groove portion 60 is pressed and unlocked, and the handle portion 64 can be pulled and removed. The attachment / detachment work becomes easier.
[0037]
Further, when the clip 50 is locked, the groove portion 60 and the handle portion 64 are housed in the gap 78 in addition to the main body portion 52 and the hook portion 66, so that there is no projecting portion toward the housing space 12 and the appearance is good. Thus, the article storage space is not reduced.
[0038]
In this embodiment, the claw portion 70 of the stopper 68 provided on the hook portion 66 is locked in the small hole 72 on the panel 20 side and the clip 50 is held in the unlocked state. The workability when installing is improved. At the time of locking, the claw portion 70 engages with the small groove 74 to generate a click feeling, so that it can be easily recognized that the hook portion 66 is locked to the boss 40.
[0039]
In the present embodiment, the rotation shaft 54 that allows the clip to rotate is provided on the clip 50 side, and the through hole 46 for inserting the rotation shaft 54 is provided on the lower end surface 44 of the panel 20, but this arrangement may be reversed. I do not care. Further, the attachment location of the clip 50 is not limited to the lower end surface 44 of the panel 20 but may be the upper end surface 36 or the side end surface. Moreover, the lock part which the hook part 66 of the clip 50 locks is not limited to the cylindrical boss as in the present embodiment, and may be an opening or a latch, for example.
[0040]
Furthermore, the arrangement of the functional units provided in the clip is not limited to the present embodiment. For example, the recessed groove portion 60 (pressing portion) and the handle portion 64 can be provided integrally with the hook portion 66, and a stopper 68 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the hook portion 66 can also be provided on the main body portion 52.
[0041]
Moreover, in this embodiment, since the main-body part 52 of the clip 50 is made thin, it has the structure which pushes the ditch | groove part 60 with the coin 80, but if a plate | board thickness can be enlarged, such a pressing jig etc. will be used. You can press it with your finger without using it.
[0042]
