JPS6051187B2 - Automotive tape player - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an in-vehicle tape player, in which only the player function is installed in the player mounting part of the car, and it can be used as a tape player or as a player with a radio depending on the escutcheon used. It is something.

In other words, if it is a general type, consider the size of the player mounting part of the car, and if it is a player with a radio, prepare a player with a built-in radio function, or if it is a player only, prepare that player.L, The current situation is that two types must be prepared regardless of the pitch.

The present invention is applicable to both player-specific players and players with a radio, and will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a player body mounted on a player mounting part of a car, which includes a storage part 2 for a magazine such as a cassette, and an eject button 3.
and a connector section 4.

5 is an instrument panel of an automobile.

By the way, the player body 1 has a speaker 6, amplifiers 7 and 8, and a reproduction head 9, as shown in FIG.

10 is a radio escutcheon and has a magazine housing hole 1.
1. It has a window 12 from which the eject button 3 protrudes, a pin part 13, and a tuner component part 14 formed using variable capacitance die-auto or the like is provided in a part.

Further, the escutcheon 10 is partially provided with a stepped portion 15 to facilitate insertion and removal of the magazine. Pin part 13
The relationship between the escutcheon 10 and the connector section 4 is such that when the escutcheon 10 is arranged on the front surface of the player body 1 and the eject button 3 is made to protrude from the window 12, when the pin section 13 and the connector section 4 are connected, the tuner component 14 to the amplifier 7, the display input of the display element 16 (for example, tape running direction display input) from the player main body 1 side, and the switching pin 131.
The switching circuit 132 on the connector section 4 side is switched by this, so that the output of the tuner component 14 is applied to the amplifier 7 instead of the output of the head 9. 17 is the player escutcheon, details of which are omitted, but escutcheon 10
Please explain with the help of at least 13, 11, 12
, 15, and sound quality, volume, and balance adjustment sections.

Note that it is not necessary to make the sizes of the escutches 10 and 17 correspond to the size of the front surface of the player main body 1; Only the corresponding magazine accommodation holes 11 need to be made to correspond, and it is sufficient to form them in a size and thickness that allows them to swing on the instrument panel 5 of the automobile.

Although not shown in the figure, the sound quality, volume, etc. of the output reproduced by the player main body 1 can be adjusted using the escutcheons 10 and 17, to which the connector section 4 and pin section 13 of the player main body 1 are electrically connected.
Therefore, the player main body 1 only requires the minimum necessary configuration, and there is a degree of freedom in designing the player main body 1 corresponding to the size of the player mounting portion.

Further, the escutcheons 10, 17 may be fixed to the player body 1 or the instrument panel 5 with screws, or by other methods.

As explained above with reference to the embodiments, according to the present invention, the main body of the tape player can be configured with the minimum necessary structure, and the degree of freedom in design is increased, and by selecting the escutcheon, it can be selected as a player with a radio or as a dedicated player. Therefore, the player main body 1 can be used in common and is practical.

Furthermore, a window from which the eject button 4 protrudes is provided in the escutcheon, so that the eject operation on the side of the player body 1 can be performed directly.
