Description

  The present invention relates to a mounting device for mounting a car navigation system (hereinafter abbreviated as "car navigation system" according to a commonly used and established name) and other articles to an automobile, and particularly to a mounting device for a car navigation system. .

  The recent spread of car navigation systems has been remarkable and has become a necessity for drive enthusiasts. One of the reasons car navigation systems have become so popular is the commercialization of portable car navigation systems, which makes it easy to carry the car navigation system, can be mounted on used cars, and can be removed from one car and removed from another car. There is the convenience that it can be attached to the.

  However, when the portable car navigation system is mounted on a car, various problems actually occur. Portable car navigation systems are usually glued to the front of the passenger seat, inside the audio panel, on the dashboard, etc., using an adhesive that is an accessory of the car navigation system.However, driving blind spots in places other than the audio panel cause poor visibility. Traffic safety issues. In addition, when moving a car navigation system from one car to another and using it or selling a car as a used car, the car navigation system must be removed. The adhered adhesive does not come off neatly, and the adhesive remains on the interior surface of the automobile, which significantly impairs aesthetics, and has a disadvantage that when sold as a used car, the selling price is reduced.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems that occur when a conventional portable car navigation system is mounted on a car, and does not hinder driving vision, so that mounting and dismounting is more difficult than a method using a conventional adhesive. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mounting device for a car navigation system which is simple and in which the adhesive does not remain on the interior surface of the vehicle when the car navigation system is removed from the vehicle.

  At present, many cars are equipped with a car radio, a CD player, a cassette tape player, etc. as standard, but recently, the spread of CDs has led to a decrease in the use of cassette tape players. Is left unused or rarely used. Focusing on this fact, the present inventor has repeatedly studied whether a car navigation system can be installed using the cassette tape insertion hole of a cassette tape player that is rarely used in this way, and as a result, common sense is considerable. Even if a car navigation system with a heavy weight is mounted on a mounting tool and the mounting tool is inserted into the cassette tape insertion hole, the weight of the car navigation system causes the mounting tool to escape from the cassette tape insertion hole or vibrate in a car with severe shaking. It is thought that it will fluctuate, and it is thought that it can not be practically used, but in experiments, unexpectedly, due to the fact that the cassette tape insertion hole is slightly inclined upward and the weight of the car navigation system, The inventor found that there was no escape or rattling of the fixture, and that it was possible to maintain a stable attachment state during running, and reached the present invention. In addition, the present inventor has suggested that the cassette tape player does not start the cassette tape reproducing operation unless the cassette tape is inserted until the cassette tape reaches a certain depth in the cassette tape insertion hole. If the car navigation system can be supported by inserting the cassette tape at the depth, the cassette tape playback function of the cassette tape player will not be damaged, and the cassette tape can be played back according to the original function of the cassette tape player by removing the fixture. I confirmed that I can do it.

  That is, the car navigation attachment according to the first aspect has a plate-shaped insertion portion inserted into a cassette tape insertion hole of a cassette tape player mounted on an automobile, and a car navigation system formed continuously with the insertion portion. And a plate-shaped car navigation attachment part.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a car navigation apparatus according to the first aspect, wherein the insertion portion is so inserted that the cassette tape player cannot be inserted to an insertion depth at which a cassette tape reproducing operation is started. The size is regulated.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a car navigation device according to the first aspect, wherein the width of the car navigation device is larger than the width of the insertion portion.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the car navigation device according to the first aspect, wherein a thickness of the car navigation device is larger than a thickness of the insertion portion.

  The mounting device according to the present invention can be applied not only to a car navigation system but also to an application for mounting a base for mounting articles to be brought into a vehicle, such as a small television, a mobile phone, a beverage container, etc., to the vehicle.

  In other words, the article table mounting fixture according to claim 5 has a plate-shaped insertion portion inserted into a cassette tape insertion hole of a cassette tape player mounted on an automobile, and an article formed continuously with the insertion portion. And a plate-shaped article table to be placed.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, the insertion portion cannot be inserted to an insertion depth at which the cassette tape player starts a cassette tape reproducing operation. The size is regulated as described above.

  According to the invention of claim 1, the car navigation attachment is a plate-shaped insertion part inserted into the cassette tape insertion hole, and a plate-shaped car navigation attachment part formed continuously with the insertion part and mounted with the car navigation. By attaching the car navigation system to the car navigation system mounting part and inserting the insertion part into the cassette tape insertion hole, the car navigation system can be easily attached and detached to the car with one touch without using adhesive. Also, when the car navigation system is removed and attached to another vehicle, traces of the adhesive do not remain on the interior surface of the vehicle, and there is no danger of deteriorating the appearance and reducing the sale price of the vehicle. In addition, since most cassette tape players are installed in the dashboard, the car navigation system that is mounted on the fixture inserted into the cassette tape insertion hole has excellent visibility and obstructs driving vision. There is no. In addition, because the cassette tape insertion hole is slightly inclined upward and the weight of the car navigation system, the mounting fixture does not escape or rattle at all, and the car navigation system is stably mounted on the vehicle even during traveling. Furthermore, since the structure and dimensions of the cassette tape are universal specifications, there is an excellent advantage that the use of the cassette tape insertion hole makes it possible to easily attach a car navigation system to any type of automobile.

  According to the invention as set forth in claim 2, in the car navigation attachment according to claim 1, the insertion portion has such a size that it cannot be inserted to an insertion depth at which the cassette tape player starts a cassette tape reproducing operation. Is regulated, there is no danger of damaging the cassette tape playback function of the cassette tape player by inserting the fixture into the cassette tape insertion hole, and once the fixture is removed, the cassette tape can be inserted into the cassette tape insertion hole as usual. It can be easily reproduced by inserting.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the width of the car navigation attachment portion is larger than the width of the insertion portion, the insertion depth of the insertion portion can be easily regulated.

  According to the present invention, since the thickness of the car navigation attachment portion is larger than the thickness of the insertion portion, the insertion depth of the insertion portion can be easily regulated.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, the interior of the vehicle is used more effectively by inserting the insertion portion of the article table mounting fixture into the cassette tape insertion hole and placing an arbitrary article such as a small television on the article table. be able to.

  According to the invention of the sixth aspect, similarly to the invention of the second aspect, the mounting tool can be removed without inserting a mounting tool into the cassette tape insertion hole without damaging the cassette tape reproducing function of the cassette tape player. For example, the cassette tape can be easily reproduced by inserting the cassette tape into the cassette tape insertion hole as usual.
