Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a transmitter attachment/detachment device that allows a transmitter for remote control of a television receiver to be attached to and detached from a cabinet.Normally, the transmitter is not exposed outside the cabinet and is attached to the door. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transmitter attachment/detachment device that can be operated by opening the transmitter, and can also be operated by taking out the transmitter.

There is a device in which a transmitter for remote control is detachably attached to the cabinet, but the transmitter is exposed to the outside, which is not very desirable in terms of appearance. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a transmitter attaching/detaching device which allows the transmitter to be housed in a cabinet so that it is not visible from the outside when not in use, and which can be exposed from the cabinet or taken out from the cabinet for operation when in use. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a door 2 is provided in a cabinet 1 of a television receiver so as to be openable and closable.
Any opening/closing mechanism may be used, but in the figure, the opening/closing mechanism is configured to open when the button 3 is pressed. When the door 2 is opened, the operating section of the transmitter for remote control is exposed. This oscillator 4 is stored in a storage section provided on the inner surface of the door 2. In principle, as shown in FIG. 3, one end of the oscillator 4 is inserted into and held by the holding part 5, and the other end is held so that the tip of the lever 6 comes into contact with the lower surface. This lever 6 is configured to rotate around a shaft 7. This lever 6 is urged by a strong spring to rotate clockwise. The lever 6 is rotated counterclockwise against the spring, and the claw 9 at the tip of the L-shaped lock lever 8 and the claw 10 of the lever 6 are engaged. The lock lever 8 is designed to rotate around a shaft 12 and is biased clockwise by a weak spring. When the button 11 provided on the lock lever 8 is pressed, the engagement between the pawls 9 and 10 is released, and as the lever 6 is rotated clockwise, one end of the transmitter 4 is pushed upward as shown in FIG. , jumps out above the opening surface of door 2. Therefore, from this state, the transmitter 4 can be taken out by hand.

It is configured so that an optical signal for remote control is output from one end 13 of the transmitter 4, and when the door 2 is operated with the door 2 open as shown in FIG. It is being Of course, when the transmitter 4 is held in the hand and operated, an optical signal can be received by the light receiving section.

5, 6, and 7 show the specific structure, and 14 is a spring that drives the lever 6;
5 is a spring that drives the lock lever 8; 16 is a receiving portion of the transmitter 4; The components shown in FIG. 6 are combined to form the system shown in FIG. 7. This is connected to the left end in FIG. 5 and tightened with a screw 17.

As described above, according to the present invention, the transmitter is housed in a door that can be opened and closed, and when the door is closed, the transmitter is completely housed and becomes completely invisible from the outside. It can be stored without falling out and has a sleek appearance. Further, when the door is opened, the operating section of the transmitter is exposed upward, and the transmitter can be effectively operated in this state. In addition, by pressing a button, one end of the transmitter can be moved upward and taken out from the door, and at this time, as mentioned above, one end of the transmitter is pushed up, so the transmitter can be removed. It will not accidentally jump out of the door. Furthermore, with regard to the removal of the transmitter, the transmitter itself is not provided with an engaging means, which allows more leeway in the design of the transmitter, which must be accommodated in a small space.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. A cabinet is provided with a door that can be opened and closed, and a storage section for storing a remote control transmitter is provided on the inner surface of this door. When the door is opened, the transmitter is housed so that only the operation section of the transmitter faces upward and is exposed, and a lever is biased by a spring in the direction of lifting one end of the transmitter in order to take out the transmitter housed in the door. A transmitter attaching/detaching device comprising: a locking mechanism for locking the lever from rotating in the above direction; and a button for releasing the locking mechanism.
