  The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  1 to 3 show an annunciator 1, and the annunciator 1 includes a horizontally-long rectangular frame-like frame 2, and the frame 2 has an opening frame portion 22 having a horizontally-long rectangular opening 22 a on the front side. The housing frame 21 is continuously provided in the rear direction from the peripheral edge of the opening frame 22.

  In the housing frame portion 21 of the frame 2, a transparent topsheet 3A, a spacer 4, a sheet switch 5, a rigid body 6, and a printed circuit board 7 are accommodated in order from the front side.

  The printed circuit board 7 is equipped with LEDs or the like for displaying the state of equipment (operation, stoppage, abnormality, etc.).

  The rigid body 6 is for receiving an operation pressing force from the surface side with respect to the sheet switch 5, and is constituted by, for example, a metal plate or the like.

  The seat switch 5 operates to change the state such as operation or stop of the equipment, and in this example, a total of nine switch portions 5a are provided in three rows vertically and horizontally. In addition, the number of the switch parts 5a is not restricted to this.

  The spacer 4 is stored in three rows of comb teeth having an open top corresponding to the vertical switch portion 5a of the sheet switch 5 in order to store the vertically long strip-shaped name entry card 8 from the top. A space 41 is provided.

  Each name entry card 8 inserted and stored in each storage space 41 from an open portion has a switch name corresponding to the three switch portions 5a in the column. The storage space 41 of the spacer 4 is not comb-shaped but may be a plate-like body having a rectangular notch that becomes the storage space 41 as shown in FIG.

  The top sheet 3A of the first embodiment is made of a transparent resin having a restoring force (for example, PET), and the back surface of the top sheet 3A is transparent to the parts such as the switch names of the name entry cards 8 described above. In the state in which the LED portion of the printed circuit board 7 is left light-diffused and left in a square shape (see F in FIG. 2 (a)), the remaining portion is made opaque by printing or the like to blind the inside. ing. The transparent portion can be set as appropriate, and the transparency can be set as appropriate within a range in which the switch name and the like written on the name entry card 8 can be read from the front side of the top sheet 3A.

  The sheet switch 5, the spacer 4, and the top sheet 3 </ b> A are configured to have a thickness of about 1 mm as a whole by bonding the necessary portions of the respective overlapping surfaces with an adhesive or the like.

  The top surface sheet 3A extends laterally along the entire length of the upper edge (one side of the opening 22a) 22c of the opening 2a of the frame 2 and from the left and right ends of the upper edge 22c to the left and right side edges (above A substantially U-shaped cut portion 31 extending downward along both sides of one side) 22b is formed, and this cut portion 31 is approximately 1/3 of the entire length of the side edge 22b from the upper edge 22c. It is formed with a length. This length may be more or less.

  As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the topsheet 3 </ b> A can be bent outward from the opening 22 a of the frame 2. Further, the outer peripheral edge portion 35 of the cut top sheet 3A is disposed on the back surface of the opening frame portion 22 of the frame 2.

  The state surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the top sheet 3A is bent at the left and right ends along the upper edge 22c of the opening 22a in the bendable portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the top sheet 3A. When restored from the above, a substantially triangular locking portion 32 protruding upward is provided on the back side of the opening frame portion 22 of the frame 2. In addition, the latching | locking part 32 should just be provided in an appropriate position, and is not restricted only to both right and left ends.

  In the case of the top sheet 3A of the first embodiment, since the cut portions 31 along the three sides of the upper edge 22c and the both side edges 22b of the opening 22a of the frame 2 are formed on the top sheet 3A, the cut on the upper edge 22c side is formed. If a fingernail or the like is hooked on the cut portion 31 and the portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the topsheet 3A is forcibly pulled to the front side, the portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the topsheet 3A is moved from the opening 22a to the front side. Since the locking portion 32 is bent and naturally disengages from the back side of the opening frame portion 22, the portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the topsheet 3A is greatly increased to the front side as shown in FIGS. By bending, the storage space 41 of the spacer located on the back side of the top sheet 3A can be greatly opened.

  Alternatively, the portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the surface sheet 3A is pulled down while being bent outward until the locking portion 32 is detached from the opening frame portion 22 by the frictional force of the finger pad, and surrounded by the cut portion 31. By picking up the drawn portion and pulling it out to the front side, the storage space 41 of the spacer located on the back side of the top sheet 3A can be opened widely.

  As a result, as shown by the arrow a, the name entry card 8 can be easily inserted and removed from the front side of the annunciator 1 and exchanged.

  After the name entry card 8 is replaced, the engaging portion 32 is inserted into the back surface of the opening frame portion 22 while bending the portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the top sheet 3A to the front side again. The stop 32 is locked to the back surface of the opening frame 22. Thereby, it can prevent beforehand that the part enclosed by the notch part 31 of 3 A of surface sheets will bend to the front side by dead weight etc., and appearance comes to improve.

  Moreover, since a plurality of name entry cards 8 can be exchanged at the same time simply by bending the portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the topsheet 3A, the exchange work time can be shortened.

  Furthermore, since the frame 2 is installed in an upright state and the cut portion 31 of the topsheet 3A is formed only in the upper portion, the portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the topsheet 3A is bent outward. Sometimes, the name entry card 8 can be removed from the storage space 41 of the spacer 4 by its own weight, and the name entry card 8 can be easily replaced.

  Further, the cut portion 31 and the locking portion 32 of the topsheet 3A are substantially U-shaped along the upper edge (one side of the opening 22a) 22c and the left and right side edges (both sides adjacent to the one side) 22b. Therefore, the cut portion 31 and the locking portion 32 can be easily formed simply by cutting the top sheet 3A.

  Further, since the outer peripheral edge portion 35 of the cut surface sheet 3A is disposed on the back surface of the opening frame portion 22 of the frame 2, the outer peripheral edge portion 35 can secure the locking space of the locking portion 32.

  The locking portion 32 may be provided in a shape protruding sideways at the upper end along the left and right side edges 22b of the opening 22a in the deflectable portion surrounded by the cut portion 31 of the top sheet 3A. By providing at least both corners of the part surrounded by the cut part 31, the corner part easily bent by its own weight or the like is surely locked, and the part surrounded by the cut part 31 is naturally bent. Can be prevented.

  FIG. 5 shows a top sheet 3B of the second embodiment, and a cut portion 31 similar to the top sheet 3A of the first embodiment is formed on the top of the top sheet 3B. A substantially U-shaped notch that extends laterally along the entire length of the lower edge 22d of the two openings 22a and extends upward from the left and right ends of the lower edge 22d along the left and right edges 22b. 31 is formed. That is, the cut portion 31 is formed in the upper portion and the lower portion of the topsheet 3B, respectively. In this case, a portion without the cut portion 31 is left between the cut portion 31 along the upper left and right side edges 22b and the cut portion 31 along the lower left and right side edges 22b.

  If it is the surface sheet 3B of 2nd Embodiment, the part enclosed by the notch part 31 of the upper part of the surface sheet 3B and the part enclosed by the notch part 31 of the lower part of the surface sheet 3B will respectively bend to the front side. Therefore, the name enclosing card 8 can be exchanged by bending the portion surrounded by the upper cut portion 31 of the top sheet 3B, and the dust or the like entering the storage space 41 can be replaced by the cut portion at the bottom of the top sheet 3B. By bending the portion surrounded by 31, the storage space 41 can be easily discharged.

FIG. 6 is a top sheet 3C of the first reference example , and this top sheet 3C is obtained by cutting out the outer peripheral edge portion 35 indicated by a two-dot chain line from the top sheet 3A of the first embodiment. Thus, although it is possible to use the topsheet 3C obtained by cutting off a part of the outer peripheral edge of the topsheet 3A, the size in the left-right direction of the portion surrounded by the notch 31 is the size of the opening frame 22. When the width is smaller than the opening 22a, a gap is formed between the cut portion 31 and the opening 22a. Therefore, the left and right side portions of the outer peripheral edge portion of the cut portion 31 are left uncut. Is preferred.

7 and 8 show the top sheet 3D of the second reference example , and cuts extending downward along the left and right side edges 22b from the upper end of the top sheet 3D at the left and right positions of the top of the top sheet 3D. The part 31 is formed.

  In the topsheet 3D, the upper end portion is a locking portion 32 that is locked to the back surface of the opening frame portion 22 of the frame 2.

The annunciator of the present invention is not limited to the forms shown in the first and second embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

  For example, the spacer 4 is formed in a shape having a storage space 41 in the vertical direction corresponding to the switch portion 5a in the row of the sheet switch 5, and the switch name corresponding to the switch portion 5a in the row is given to the name entry card 8 It is also possible to fill in and insert the name entry card 8 from the left or right part.

  In this case, a portion surrounded by the left cut portion 31 or a right cut portion 31 is formed by forming the cut portion 31 in the left or right portion of the topsheet. Can be easily exchanged by flexing the front side of the opening 2a of the frame 2 to expose the column storage spaces 41 located on the back side of the top sheet.
