Embodiment Construction

[0098] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 26, an electronic instrument 1 having a driving mechanism of an embodiment according to the present invention will be discussed. The electronic instrument 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 is mounted, e.g. in an instrument panel of a car which is one of vehicles.

[0099] The electronic instrument 1 includes a compact disk (hereinafter referred to as CD) player, an AM / FM tuner, etc. The CD player receives a CD serving as a recording medium to reproduce information recorded on the CD as sound. The AM / FM tuner receives AM / FM broadcasting radio waves to output them as sound.

[0100] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the electronic instrument 1 has an instrument body 2, a second operation unit 3, a first operation unit 4, and a driving mechanism 6 (FIGS. 4 and 5) which is an embodiment according to the invention. The instrument body 2 is provided with a box-like chassis 5 having a short height, which accommodates the CD player, the AM / FM tuner, etc.

[0101] The chassis 5 ...

Abstract

The driving mechanism has an instrument body formed with a recording medium inserting slot for inserting a recording medium into the instrument body. The driving mechanism moves a first operation unit and a second operation unit between a first position for covering the recording medium inserting slot and a second position for exposing the recording medium inserting slot. The driving mechanism includes a first turnable supporting member turnably fitted to the instrument body for supporting the first operation unit, a first drive device for turning the first turnable supporting member, a second supporting member for supporting the second operation unit, a second turnable supporting member turnably fitted to the instrument body for supporting the second operation unit, and a second drive device for turning the second turnable supporting member. The second drive device supports the second supporting member movably in directions along which the recording medium is inserted and removed through the recording medium inserting slot of the instrument body. The first drive device turns the first turnable supporting member to move the first operation unit between the first position and the second position. The second drive device moves the second supporting member and turns the second turnable supporting member to move the second operation unit between the first position and the second position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an electronic instrument mounted on a vehicle like a car, particularly to various audio instruments having an operation display unit with an operation switch and a display panel, in which the display unit is moved by a driving mechanism. [0003] 2. Related Art [0004] In a car instrument panel, there have been conventionally provided various car audio devices like a compact disc (hereinafter referred to as CD) player, a mini disc (hereinafter referred to as MD), and an AM / FM tuner. In FIG. 28, such an electronic instrument 101 is illustrated, which has a housing accommodating a CD player, an AM / FM tuner, etc. [0005] The electronic instrument 101 of FIG. 28 has an instrument body 102 fitted in an instrument panel and an operation unit 103 movably attached to the instrument body 102. The instrument body 102 defined in a box shape accommodates the AM / FM tuner, the CD player, etc. [0006] T...
