Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a mounting device with a rotating mechanism suitable for mounting, for example, a vehicle-mounted radio, a vehicle-mounted tape recorder, and the like.

Conventionally, for example, in order to attach an on-vehicle radio to an automobile, as shown in FIG. 1, it has been done to hang it from the lower part of the dash board of the driver's cab.

In Figure 1, 1 is the mounting base, 2a and 2b are the brackets, 3 is the radio device body, 4a, 4b, 4c
is the mounting screw, 5 is the instrument panel, 6 is the
is the engine room shield, and 7 is the front shield.
Each glass is shown.

In this conventional example, first, the mounting base 1 is fixed under the car's dash board via brackets 2a, 2b, etc., and the radio body 3 is slid into the mounting base 1 and positioned. , fix as appropriate. After that, the antenna plug is connected to the back of the radio main body 3.

Various mounting bases have been proposed,
For example, the one shown in FIG. 2 has a generally circular elongated hole 1a, so that the orientation of the mounting base 1 can be changed within a considerable range.
The one seen in Figure 3 is a very common one, which cannot be turned. The one seen in FIG. 4 is provided with a long hole 1b that allows the orientation to be slightly corrected.

By the way, with these conventional mounts, once the radio main body is set, it is impossible to change the orientation of the mount, and the radio main body must be removed again. Therefore, it has the following drawbacks.

(a) It is difficult to assemble the antenna connector on the back.

(b) Even if the microphone connector protrudes and becomes a problem, no countermeasures can be taken.

(c) If you set the radio so that it faces the front, the operation buttons will be farther away from the driver's seat, and
If it is set so as to face the driver's seat, the microphone connector, etc., are likely to become a hindrance.

(d) Since the speaker surface is fixed and in most cases does not face the driver, it is difficult to hear and the volume must be raised unreasonably.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks by making it possible to rotate the main body of the radio even after it is mounted on the mount, and this will be explained in detail below.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of essential parts of an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, 11 is a mounting base, 11a is a large diameter circular hole, 11b is a hole for a click stop, 12 is a first support plate for mounting, 12a is a circular pedestal, 12b is a hole for mounting, and 13 is for mounting. A second support plate, 15a is a spring plate portion, 13b is a click stop protrusion, 1
3c is a mounting hole, and 14 is a screw.
Note that the click/stop hole 11b may be a recess, and such a hole or recess is formed in the spring plate portion 13a, and the mounting base 11 is provided with a click/stop.
A protrusion such as the stop protrusion 13b may be formed. Furthermore, the first support plate 12 does not have to be circular.

Now, in order to assemble this embodiment, the first support plate 12 is brought into contact with the back surface of the mounting base 11, and the base portion 12a is rotatably fitted into the circular hole 11a.
After the second support plate 13 is brought into contact with the surface of the second support plate 1 and aligned, the support plates 12 and 13 are fixed. The fixing may be performed using screws 14, or by other suitable means such as riveting or spot welding.

By doing this, the mounting base 11 is guided by the fit between the circular hole 11a and the pedestal portion 12a, and can be freely rotated with respect to the first support plate 12 and the second support plate 13. It is possible, and the circular hole 11
A click-stop mechanism is formed around the spring plate part 13a, and the spring plate part 13a can be clicked and stopped at a predetermined angle.
It will be stopped. Therefore, even after the assembled mounting device is fixed to the lower part of the vehicle's dash board and the main body of the radio is mounted, it can be rotated together with the mounting base 11.

As can be seen from the above explanation, according to the present invention, the mounting base on which the main body of the radio device is mounted, for example, has a structure in which it is rotatably held between the first support plate and the second support plate. A mounting device with a rotating mechanism is obtained, and the device can exhibit the following effects. In other words, (1) Since it is possible to rotate the radio device etc. by an arbitrary set angle while it is attached, there is a greater degree of freedom regarding the mounting position and mounting method in a narrow place, such as inside a car. It is possible to eliminate or reduce problems caused by various protrusions in radio equipment, such as operation buttons, microphone plugs, antenna plugs, monitor terminals, etc.

(2) Operability is improved because the operation buttons can be directed toward the driver, and when speakers are located in the front, it is easier to hear.

(3) Since it is possible to rotate 360 degrees without the need for tools to change the angle, various operations such as inspection and maintenance of the side and rear surfaces of radio equipment etc. can be easily performed.

(4) Since it has a click-stop mechanism and a spring action, the angle can be changed with moderation, and it is stable against vibration.

(5) The rotating mechanism is thin, and overall it is almost the same as the conventional one.

etc.

In the above embodiment, the case where a radio device is attached has been described, but the present invention can also be applied to attaching various types of equipment such as audio equipment and control equipment.
