Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a device in which a transmitter for remote control is housed in the main body of a television receiver, etc., and there is a risk that the transmitter may fall off due to tilting or vibration of the main body. The aim is to provide something that has a simple configuration and can be made at low cost.

2. Description of the Related Art Increasingly, television receivers and other equipment are capable of performing various operations by remote control. However, since the remote control transmitters used in such devices are generally small, they often become lost or lost when not in use. Therefore, in order to eliminate such inconvenience, as shown in Fig. 1, a housing 1 of the main body of equipment such as a television receiver is provided with a storage section 2, and a transmitter 3 for remote control is provided when not in use. It was devised that a device could be stored in this storage section 2.

First, conventional examples of storage devices as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 will be explained. In the figure, 4 is a front panel of the housing 1, 5 is a bottom plate, and a storage box 6 with an open front is attached to a part of this front panel 4 with screws 7 or the like. 8 is a decorative member provided around the opening of the storage box 6, and 9 is a screw 10 installed at the rear of the storage box 6.
This is a push-push mechanism installed by means of, etc.

When the transmitter 3 is not used, this transmitter 3
is inserted into the storage box 6 from the front opening, and the moving rod 11 of the push mechanism 9 is pushed in. Then, by this first press, the movable rod 11 stops at the rearward position, and the transmitter 3 can be stored in the storage box 6 as shown in the figure. Next, when you want to use the transmitter 3, press the front side of it with your hand or the like. Then, due to this second press, the moving rod 11 of the push-push mechanism 9 moves forward a little and stops, thereby pushing the transmitter 3 out of the front of the storage section 2 a little. Therefore, the transmitter 3 can be pulled out by holding the pushed-out portion in the hand and used for remote control.

However, if this is done alone, there is a risk that the transmitter 3 may fall out when the main body 1 is tilted forward or vibrated, so in this conventional storage device, a through hole 12 is provided in the side wall of the storage box 6. A plate spring 13 is attached so as to pass through the through hole 12, and a roller 14 is attached to the tip of the plate spring 13, and a roller 14 is attached to the side of the transmitter 3.
A groove 15 is provided to fit into the roller 14, and an engagement step 16 is provided which engages the roller 14 in the stored position. When the transmitter 3 is stored in the storage section 2, the roller 14 and the engagement step 16 are engaged with each other as shown in the figure.
Even when the main body 1 is tilted or vibrated, the transmitter 3 is prevented from falling off easily.

However, in such conventional storage devices, a through hole 12 is provided in the storage box 6 to prevent the transmitter 3 from falling off, and a separate plate spring 13 or roller 14 is provided.
The disadvantages are that the structure is complicated and has a large number of parts, and the number of man-hours required for assembly is also high, resulting in high costs.

Therefore, the present invention solves these conventional drawbacks, prevents the transmitter from falling off easily even when the main body is tilted or vibrates, and is simple in construction and can be obtained at low cost. The purpose is to provide the following.

Hereinafter, the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
This will be explained in detail with reference to FIGS. In addition, in the drawings, the same parts as in the prior art are designated by the same reference numerals as in FIGS. 2 to 4, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In this device, a decorative member 17 made of synthetic resin is attached to the periphery of the opening of the storage box 6 in the storage part 2, and the decoration member 17 is integrally attached to the decoration member 17 toward the inside of the storage part 2 and towards the back of the storage part 2. A protruding elastic engagement piece 18 is integrally molded and provided. 19 is a protrusion formed at the tip thereof. In addition, the decorative member 17 is fitted around the opening of the storage box 6 and fixed by being inserted between it and the periphery of the opening of the front panel 4.
When attaching the storage box 6 to the front panel 4, the decorative member 17 can also be attached at the same time.

With this configuration, when the transmitter 3 is not in use and is stored, the transmitter 3 is inserted into the storage box 6 and the moving rod 11 of the push-push mechanism 9 is moved.
By pressing , the moving rod 11 can be stopped at the rearward position as shown in the figure.
The transmitter 3 can be stored. At this time, the protrusion 19 of the elastic engagement piece 18 of the decorative member 17 engages with the engagement step 16 of the transmitter 3, so that even if the main body 1 is tilted or vibrated, the transmitter 3 will fall off. It can be held in such a way that it does not. When the transmitter 3 is taken out for use, when the transmitter 3 is pushed, the force of the spring built into the push-push mechanism causes it to engage with the engagement step 16 against the elastic force of the elastic engagement piece 18. When the transmitter 3 is uncoupled, the transmitter 3 is pushed forward a little, so it can be taken out and used by hand. At this time, the elastic engagement piece 1
The engaging portion 19 of 8 functions as a damper for the transmitter 3, and can maintain an appropriate pop-out speed.

In this way, in this device, the elastic engagement piece 18 having the protrusion 19 for locking the transmitter 3 in the stored state is integrally molded and provided on the decorative member 17. , there is no need to use and assemble separate parts such as leaf springs and rollers as in the past, and the configuration is simple.The number of parts can be minimized with only 171 decorative members, and the number of assembly steps is also significantly reduced. It can be realized at low cost.

As detailed above, according to the present invention, an elastic engagement piece for locking the transmitter is integrally provided on the decorative member provided around the opening of the storage section that stores the transmitter for remote control. This has a great effect in that the transmitter does not easily fall off even if the main body is tilted or vibrated, with a simple structure and at low cost.
