Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a storage case that can stably accommodate remote control handsets and the like used in electrical equipment such as television receivers.

[Technical background of the invention and its problems]

A conventional example of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the remote control handset, Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the lower case, which is part of the storage case, and Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the lower case, which is a part of the storage case.
The figure is an explanatory diagram illustrating the engagement of the remote control handset shown in FIG. 1 and the lower case shown in FIG. 2.

Conventional remote control handset (2) lliN[l11
Shallow grooves (3), (3) are provided on the surface. Furthermore.

A deep groove (4) is partially provided approximately in the center of the shallow groove (3).

In addition, there is a push button for operation on the top of the remote control handset (
5) is provided.

A storage case for storing such a remote control handset (2) is made up of an upper case (not shown) and a lower case (7) that can be divided into two parts, and has an opening (8) at one end for inserting and removing the remote control handset. It is box-shaped.

Projecting pieces (9), (9), etc., which are inserted into the groove (3) and guide the insertion and removal of the remote control handset (2), are provided on the inside of both sides of the lower case (7). The projecting piece (9) and the shallow groove (3) allow the remote control handset to be housed in a fixed position within the storage box. In position, the remote control handset (2) is completely housed in the storage box.

A stopper (10) inserted into the deep groove (4) and made of an elastic spring is provided on the side surface of the lower case (7) facing the deep groove (4).
) is provided.

This stopper is always in the deep groove (4) of the remote control handset.
) side.

This prevents the remote control handset from falling out from the opening (8) of the storage case once the remote control handset is inserted into the normal position. A sliding device (12) for pushing the remote control handset toward the opening is provided at the other end corresponding to the opening. This sliding device is a commonly used and well-known device that is locked by a suppressing action, and when pressed further, it releases the lock and returns to its previous position, moving from the groove that surrounds the entire circumference of the heart-shaped convex portion. It consists of a heart-shaped cam, an operating pin that slides within this heart-shaped groove, and a return spring (13) that biases the operating pin in one direction.

Therefore, when attaching or detaching the remote control handset, first insert the remote control handset through the opening (8) and connect it to the shallow groove (3) and the protruding piece (
9) and press it into the storage case, the sliding device (12) becomes locked, the remote control handset is inserted in a straight position, and the stopper (10) enters the deep groove (4) to be completely fixed. be done.

When taking out the remote control handset, by further pressing the remote control handset, the locking state of the sliding device (12) is released and the remote control handset returns to its original straight forward position, so that the remote control handset is pushed out of the storage case by this return force.

If the force of the stopper (10) is set to be smaller than the restoring force, the remote control handset can be easily pushed out of the opening of the storage case and removed.

In order to provide the deep groove (4) in the remote control handset having the above-described structure, the space inside the remote control handset is partially reduced, making it difficult to downsize the remote control handset. Since the stopper is constantly in contact with the shallow or deep grooves, the painted area is likely to peel off or get scratched. Furthermore, due to fluctuations in the spring strength of the stopper (10), the force with which the remote control handset is pushed out varies, resulting in the disadvantage that the remote control handset pops out faster than necessary or does not come out at all.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a storage case that can be fixed to an object to be stored, such as a remote control handset, without applying unnecessary force.

[Summary of the invention]

By providing a locking portion that interlocks with the sliding device, objects to be stored in the storage case are locked.

To remove the remote control handset from the storage case, press the remote control handset deep inside the storage case in the state shown in FIG. Then, the operating pin (48) is released from the locked state by the operation of the heart-shaped cam (35), and the slide piece (40) returns to its original position, ie, the position shown in FIG. 15, by the force of the return spring (49).

Therefore, since the remote control handset is also pushed back to the position shown in FIG. 15, it can be removed by pulling out the partially exposed remote control handset (55) from the storage case (60).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, the fixing pin, which is a 9-cylindrical small protrusion, is inserted into the hole provided in the remote control handset with a simple structure that allows it to be fixed in place as the remote control handset moves. Whenever there is variation in force, the spring does not press the remote control handset from the side, causing scratches (it can be held stably).

・Also, since there is no spring that presses the side of the remote control handset, the insertion force is not only light and it is possible to attach and detach it, but also the insertion force is light and it is possible to use an inexpensive item with a weak return spring.
