Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this specification and each drawing, elements that are the same as those described above with respect to the already shown drawings may be given the same reference numerals, and detailed descriptions may be omitted as appropriate.

[0018] FIGS. 1 to 3 are a perspective view, a right side view, and an exploded perspective view of the electronic device 1. FIG. 4 is a right side view of the housing 2 of the electronic device 1. The electronic device 1 includes a housing 2 and a support device 3 that supports the housing 2.

[0019] The electronic device 1 is a display and operation device for marine equipment such as a fish finder, sonar, radar, or GPS plotter. The electronic device 1 has a display unit 11 and an operation unit 12 on the front surface of the housing 2. The electronic device 1 is not limited to this configuration, and may have, for example, only the display unit 11 on the front surface of the housing 2 (that is, a configuration in which the operation unit 12 is provided separately from the housing 2).

[0020] Figs. 5 to 6 are an exploded perspective view and a right side view of the support device 3. The support device 3 includes a support 4, a lid member 5, an elastic member 6, and a fixing member 7. Figs. 7 to 10 are a right side view, a front view, a left side view, and a rear view of the lid member 5. Fig. 11 is a front view of the fixing member 7.

[0021] Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A of Fig. 2. Figs. 13 to 15 are cross-sectional views showing the procedure for fixing the support device 3 to the housing 2. These figures are cross-sectional views taken along the line B-B of Fig. 2.

[0022] As shown in Figs. 1 to 3 and 5, the support 4 has left and right wall portions 41 disposed opposite to the left and right side surfaces 21 of the housing 2, a beam portion 42 connecting the left and right wall portions 41 behind the housing 2, and foot portions 43 for installation provided at the lower ends of the left and right wall portions 41. The support 4 is also called a hanger or a bracket. The support 4 is not limited to this configuration, and may have, for example, only the left and right wall portions 41 and the foot portions 43 (that is, a configuration having no beam portion 42, such as a configuration in which the foot portions 43 are connected on the left and right).

[0023] Hereinafter, the direction in which the housing 2 is located with respect to the wall portion 41 is referred to as the "inner direction", and the direction opposite to the housing 2 with respect to the wall portion 41 is referred to as the "outer direction". Also, the surface facing the inner direction of the wall portion 41 is referred to as the "inner surface", and the surface facing the outer direction of the wall portion 41 is referred to as the "outer surface".

[0024] The support 4 is formed of a metal material such as steel, for example, and is formed by bending. The support 4 may be formed of a synthetic resin material, for example. The support 4 is preferably formed of a material with high rigidity in order to suppress vibrations transmitted to the housing 2.

[0025] An opening 4a is formed in the wall portion 41. The opening 4a is formed, for example, in a circular shape and penetrates the wall portion 41 in the plate thickness direction. The position of the opening 4a corresponds to the position of a boss portion 22 (see FIGS. 3 to 4 and FIG. 12) provided on the side surface 21 of the housing 2.

[0026] Further, a notch 4b is formed in the wall portion 41 at the opening 4a. The notch 4b has a pair of inner edges 47 that linearly extend from the outer edge of the wall portion 41 to the inner edge of the opening 4a. Around the opening 4a of the wall portion 41, pins 45 protruding outward are provided.

[0027] As shown in FIGS. 7 to 10 and FIG. 12, the lid member 5 has a head portion 51 positioned outward of the wall portion 41 and a shaft portion 52 inserted into the opening 4a, and has an overall flat mushroom-like or umbrella-like shape. The lid member 5 is, for example, a molded product formed of a synthetic resin material. The lid member 5 is also called a cap.

[0028] The head portion 51 of the lid member 5 is wider than the opening 4a and is not inserted into the opening 4a. The head portion 51 has, for example, a disk shape with a larger diameter than the opening 4a. An insertion hole 5c into which the pin 45 provided on the wall portion 41 is inserted is formed on the inner surface of the head portion 51.

[0029] The shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 has a shape that fits into the opening 4a of the wall portion 41, is inserted into the opening 4a and is slidable in the inner and outer directions, whereby the movement of the lid member 5 in the inner and outer directions is guided. The shaft portion 52 has, for example, a cylindrical shape with a slightly smaller diameter than the opening 4a. The shaft portion 52 and the opening 4a may be, for example, angular.

[0030] When the pin 45 of the wall portion 41 is inserted into the insertion hole 5c of the head portion 51, the rotation of the lid member 5 is suppressed and the movement of the lid member 5 in the inner and outer directions is guided. On the contrary, a pin may be provided on the head portion 51 and an insertion hole may be provided on the wall portion 41.

[0031] The lid member 5 is formed with a through hole 5a that penetrates the head portion 51 and the shaft portion 52. The through hole 5a penetrates the centers of the head portion 51 and the shaft portion 52 in the inner and outer directions. A bolt 72 (see FIG. 11) of the fixing member 7 described later is inserted into the through hole 5a.

[0032] Further, the lid member 5 is formed with a notch 5b that is continuous with the through hole 5a. The notch 5b has a pair of inner edges 57 that linearly extend in the radial direction from the peripheral edge of the lid member 5 to the central through hole 5a.

[0033] The through hole 5a and the notch 5b are integrally formed. At the joint portion of the through hole 5a and the notch 5b on the inner edge 57 of the notch 5b, a slightly raised dike portion 56 is formed to suppress the dropout of the bolt 72.

[0034] The notch 5b is arranged so as to overlap with the notch 4b of the wall portion 41 in a side view (see FIG. 6). The notches 4b and 5b serve as a passage for the bolt 72 when the support device 3 is fixed to the housing 2 as described later.

[0035] The end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 facing inward is formed in a convex shape. The end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 is formed in a convex shape as a whole and gradually protrudes inward toward the center.

[0036] On the other hand, the end face 23 of the boss portion 22 provided on the side surface 21 of the housing 2 facing outward is formed in a concave shape (see FIG. 12). The end face 23 of the boss portion 22 is formed in a concave shape as a whole and gradually sinks inward toward the center.

[0037] The convex end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 and the concave end face 23 of the boss portion 22 are fitted to each other. On the contrary, the end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 may be formed in a concave shape and the end face 23 of the boss portion 22 may be formed in a convex shape.

[0038] Convex end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 and concave end face 23 of the boss portion 22 are formed with unevenness that fit into each other. Specifically, on each of the end faces 53 and 23, a radially extending concave groove and a convex rib are formed (hereinafter, the radially extending concave groove and convex rib are also referred to as "serration").

[0039] The serration formed on the convex end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 extends radially around the through hole 5a (see FIG. 9). The serration formed on the concave end face 23 of the boss portion 22 extends radially around the nut 25 provided on the end face 23 (see FIG. 4).

[0040] The serration formed on the convex end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 and the serration formed on the concave end face 23 of the boss portion 22 fit into each other. Thereby, the posture of the housing 2 in the pitch direction, that is, the posture in the axial rotation direction about the bolt 72, is fixed.

[0041] As shown in FIGS. 5, 15, and 16, the elastic member 6 is interposed between the wall portion 41 and the head portion 51 of the lid member 5. That is, the peripheral edge of the opening 4a of the wall portion 41 and the head portion 51 of the lid member 5 face each other, and the elastic member 6 is sandwiched therebetween. The elastic member 6 holds the lid member 5 at a position away from the wall portion 41 in the outer direction when not compressed.

[0042] The elastic member 6 has a substantially annular shape so as to surround the opening 4a of the wall portion 41. Specifically, the elastic member 6 is divided into a plurality of arcs so as to avoid the notch 4b and the pin 45. The elastic member 6 may be integrally formed.

[0043] The elastic member 6 is formed of, for example, a foam obtained by foam molding a synthetic resin material (so-called sponge). Not limited to this, the elastic member 6 may be formed of an elastomer material such as silicone rubber, or may be a metal spring, for example.

[0044] Further, the elastic member 6 is provided with double-sided tape on both its inner and outer surfaces, and is attached to both the peripheral edge of the opening 4a of the wall portion 41 and the head portion 51 of the lid member 5. Thereby, the lid member 5 is held by the wall portion 41 in a state where the shaft portion 52 is inserted into the opening 4a and is movable in the inner and outer directions.

[0045] As shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, the fixing member 7 has a knob 71 located outward of the lid member 5 and a bolt 72 inserted into the through hole 5a of the lid member 5. The knob 71 is a molded product formed of, for example, a synthetic resin material and is integrally molded with the bolt 72.

[0046] The knob 71 is a portion that is grasped and rotated by a human hand. When the knob 71 is rotated by a human hand, the bolt 72 rotates. The knob 71 has, for example, a disc or cylindrical shape.

[0047] The bolt 72 passes through the through hole 5a of the lid member 5 and is fastened to a nut 25 provided on the boss portion 22 of the side surface 21 of the housing 2. On the contrary, a nut may be provided on the knob 71 and a bolt may be provided on the boss portion 22 of the side surface 21 of the housing 2.

[0048] The knob 71 moves in the inner and outer directions in accordance with the rotation of the bolt 72. When the knob 71 is tightened (i.e., when the knob 71 rotates in the direction of tightening the bolt 72), the knob 71 moves inward. When the knob 71 is loosened (i.e., when the knob 71 rotates in the direction of loosening the bolt 72), the knob 71 moves outward.

[0049] When the knob 71 is tightened, the knob 71 moves inward, and the lid member 5 is pushed by the knob 71 and also moves inward. At this time, the head portion 51 of the lid member 5 is pressed toward the wall portion 41 to compress the elastic member 6. Also, the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 is pressed toward the boss portion 22 of the side surface 21 of the housing 2.

[0050] When the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 is pressed toward the boss portion 22 on the side surface 21 of the housing 2, the convex end surface 53 of the shaft portion 52 and the concave end surface 23 of the boss portion 22 are fitted together. Thereby, the support device 3 is fixed to the housing 2. That is, the wall portion 41 of the support 4 is connected to the side surface 21 of the housing 2, and the housing 2 is supported in a floating state from the installation surface.

[0051] Further, when the convex end surface 53 of the shaft portion 52 and the concave end surface 23 of the boss portion 22 are fitted together, at the same time, the serration formed on the end surface 53 of the shaft portion 52 and the serration formed on the end surface 23 of the boss portion 22 are also fitted together. Thereby, the posture of the housing 2 in the pitch direction is also fixed.

[0052] Note that by loosening the knob 71 to release the fitting of the serrations, it is possible to adjust the posture of the housing 2 in the pitch direction. After adjusting the posture, by tightening the knob 71 to fit the serrations again, the housing 2 is fixed in the new posture.

[0053] Hereinafter, the fixing procedure of the support device 3 will be described. FIGS. 13 to 15 are diagrams for explaining the fixing procedure of the support device 3 that uses the cutouts 4b and 5b of the wall portion 41 and the lid member 5 as the passage for the bolts 72 of the fixing member 7.

[0054] First, as shown in FIG. 13, for the housing 2 and the fixing member 7, the bolts 72 of the fixing member 7 are inserted slightly into the nuts 25 of the boss portion 22 of the housing 2. Specifically, the bolts 72 are inserted into the nuts 25 to such an extent that the distance between the boss portion 22 of the housing 2 and the knob 71 of the fixing member 7 does not become smaller than the thickness of the lid member 5.

[0055] On the other hand, for the wall portion 41, the lid member 5, and the elastic member 6, the head portion 51 of the lid member 5 is attached to the outer surface of the wall portion 41 via the elastic member 6, and the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 is inserted into the opening 4a of the wall portion 41. At this time, the lid member 5 is held at a position away from the wall portion 41 in the outer direction by the elastic member 6.

[0056] The thickness of the elastic member 6 when not compressed is preferably greater than the depth of the concave end face 23 of the boss portion 22 and the height of the convex end face 53 of the shaft portion 52. Thereby, the shaft portion 52 can be retracted outward so that the boss portion 22 and the shaft portion 52 do not collide.

[0057] Then, the housing 2 and the fixing member 7 are moved (in the direction of arrow M), and the bolt 72 disposed between the boss portion 22 of the housing 2 and the knob 71 of the fixing member 7 is passed through the notches 4b and 5b of the wall portion 41 and the lid member 5 to the central through hole 5a of the lid member 5. move. Conversely, the wall portion 41 and the lid member 5 may be moved.

[0058] Here, the inner edge 57 of the notch 5b of the lid member 5 is located inside the inner edge 47 of the notch 4b of the wall portion 41 in a side view (see FIG. 6). Thereby, when the bolt 72 passes through the notches 4b and 5b, it is possible to prevent the bolt 72 from contacting the inner edge 47 of the notch 4b of the wall portion 41.

[0059] Specifically, the lower inner edge 57 of the notch 5b of the lid member 5 is located above the lower inner edge 47 of the notch 4b of the wall portion 41, and the upper inner edge 57 of the notch 5b of the lid member 5 is located below the upper inner edge 47 of the notch 4b of the wall portion 41.

[0060] Next, as shown in FIG. 14, when the bolt 72 is moved to the through hole 5a at the back of the notch 5b, the end face 23 of the boss portion 22 of the housing 2 and the end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 face each other. By tightening the knob 71 in this state, the lid member 5 moves inward together with the knob 71 (in the direction of arrow S).

[0061] That is, by tightening the knob 71, the head 51 of the lid member 5 is pressed against the wall portion 41 to compress the elastic member 6, and the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 is pressed against the boss portion 22 of the housing 2.

[0062] Then, as shown in FIG. 15, the concave end face 23 of the boss portion 22 of the housing 2 and the convex end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 are fitted together, and further, the serration provided on the end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 and the serration provided on the end face 23 of the boss portion 22 are also fitted together. Thus, the fixing of the support device 3 is completed.

[0063] According to the embodiment described above, by providing the movable lid member 5 on the support 4, even when the support 4 is formed of a highly rigid metal, it is possible to easily fix the support 4 to the housing 2 without applying excessive force. Also, it is possible to prevent the end face 23 of the boss portion 22 of the housing 2 and the end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 from rubbing against each other and being damaged. Furthermore, it is possible to absorb variations in the dimensional tolerances in the width direction of the housing 2 and the support 4.

[0064] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible for those skilled in the art.

[0065] In the above embodiment, the cutouts 4b and 5b of the wall portion 41 and the lid member 5 extend rearward from the front edges of the wall portion 41 and the lid member 5, but the present invention is not limited to this. The cutouts 4b and 5b may extend downward from the upper edges of the wall portion 41 and the lid member 5, or may be bent midway. Also, the cutouts 4b and 5b may not be formed.

[0066] Also, in the above embodiment, the concave end face 23 of the boss portion 22 of the housing 2 and the convex end face 53 of the shaft portion 52 of the lid member 5 are fitted together, but the present invention is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 16, flat end faces 23 and 53 may sandwich a sheet 8 formed of an elastic material such as synthetic rubber, or may be in direct contact without the sheet 8 in between.
