base 1 formed by molding a synthetic resin into a rectangular parallelepiped frame shape and abracket 11 mounted on thebase 1. Thebase 1 comprises a pair of vertical side walls orside plates bottom plate 2 coupled between lower ends of theside plates rear plate 5 coupled between rear ends of theside plates side plates - On the other hand, the
bracket 11 is formed by molding a synthetic resin and comprises a main plate portion 11-1 in the form of a rectangular plate and an auxiliary plate portion 11-2 coupled to the main plate portion 11-1 on its one side. That is, thebracket 11 has a generally T-shape in cross section. Thebracket 11 is mounted on thebase 1 between theside walls bottom plate 2. - When mounting the
bracket 11 on thebase 1, thebracket 11 is first lowered in the vertical direction ofarrows 21 inFIG. 1A until the lower end of thebracket 11 reaches an inner bottom surface of thebase 1, i.e. an upper surface of thebottom plate 2. Subsequently, thebracket 11 is moved rearward in the horizontal direction ofarrows 21. Then, by means of an engaging structure described later, thebracket 11 engages with thebase 1 so as to be fixed thereto. - Hereinbelow, referring also to
FIGS. 2A to 5E , the engaging structure will be described in detail. - A direction from the right side to the left side of the
bottom plate 2 is given as an X-direction, a direction from the lower side to the upper side of thebottom plate 2 is given as a Y-direction, a direction from the front side to the rear side of thebottom plate 2 is given as a Z-direction, and a direction opposite to the Z-direction is given as a -Z-direction. Note that thebase 1 is fixed to a housing of a communication apparatus (not illustrated) in order to prevent movement thereof in any of the X-, Y-, Z-, and -Z-directions. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 2A and 2B , thebottom plate 2 of thebase 1 is formed with afirst hook receiver 2 a, asingle claw receiver 2 c, and asecond hook receiver 2 b that are located on a straight line, i.e. aligned with each other, in this order from the front where the space between theside plates first hook receiver 2 a and thesecond hook receiver 2 b are formed as illustrated inFIGS. 4E and 4C , respectively. Specifically, the first andsecond hook receivers bottom plate 2 to form a generally U-shaped slit and then bending an inner portion surrounded by the slit toward the inside of thebase 1 so as to form it into an L-shape. As illustrated inFIG. 4D , theclaw receiver 2 c is formed by opening a hole in thebottom plate 2. - Incidentally, necessary structures known in this art are provided at the other portions of the
bottom plate 2 and on the inner sides of theside plates rear plate 5. - As illustrated in
FIG. 3 , thebracket 11 is formed with afirst hook 11 a, a singleelastically deformable claw 11 c, and asecond hook 11 b that are located on a straight line, i.e. aligned with each other, in this order from the front at three portions of the bottom of the main plate portion 11-1. Theclaw 11 c has a free end formed with aprojection 11c 1 which is engageable with the hole, i.e. theclaw receiver 2 c, of thebottom plate 2. - The
first hook 11 a and thesecond hook 11 b are formed as illustrated inFIG. 3 andFIGS. 4E and 4C . Specifically, the first andsecond hooks FIGS. 3 and 4D , theclaw 11 c is formed elastically deformable and parallel to thebottom plate 2. - Incidentally, necessary structures known in this art are provided on both left and right sides of the
bracket 11. -
FIGS. 4E , 4C, and 4D respectively illustrate the positions after thebracket 11 is lowered in the vertical direction ofarrows 21 inFIG. 1A until the lower end of thebracket 11 reaches the inner bottom surface of thebase 1. At these positions, thefirst hook receiver 2 a and thefirst hook 11 a face each other, thesecond hook receiver 2 b and thesecond hook 11 b face each other, and theclaw 11 c does not yet engage with theclaw receiver 2 c. -
FIGS. 5E , 5C, and 5D respectively illustrate the positions after thebracket 11 is moved rearward in the horizontal direction ofarrows 21 inFIG. 1A . At these positions, thefirst hook receiver 2 a and thefirst hook 11 a abut against each other, thesecond hook receiver 2 b and thesecond hook 11 b abut against each other, and theprojection 11c 1 of theclaw 11 c engages with theclaw receiver 2 c because of an elastic restoring force of theclaw 11 c. Thus, thebracket 11 is fixedly mounted on thebase 1. In this case, positioning of thebracket 11 is carried out by the engagement between thefirst hook 11 a and thefirst hook receiver 2 a and the engagement between thesecond hook 11 b and thesecond hook receiver 2 b and locking of thebracket 11 is carried out by the engagement between theclaw 11 c and theclaw receiver 2 c. As a result, thebracket 11 is fixedly assembled to thebase 1. - Since the
first hook receiver 2 a and thefirst hook 11 a have symmetrical shapes and thesecond hook receiver 2 b and thesecond hook 11 b have symmetrical shapes, thebracket 11 is tightly mounted on thebase 1. - The engaging structure described above exhibits the following effects:
- 1. Since a base assembly comprises a base having at least two L-shaped hook receivers and at least one claw receiver and a bracket having at least two L-shaped hooks each having a shape corresponding to that of the hook receiver and at least one elastically deformable claw engageable with the claw receiver, laborious fixing means such as a screw is not required, the number of assembling steps is small, and further the structure is simple.
- 2. Since the claw receiver is formed between the hook receivers and the claw is formed between the hooks, the bracket is stably fixed to the base by a locking mechanism half the number of positioning mechanisms.
- 3. The hook receivers and the hooks are formed into symmetrical shapes and thus the bracket is brought into tight contact with the base when mounting the bracket on the base. Therefore, the base assembly is compact in structure.
- 4. Since the claw has a projection at its free end and the claw receiver is a hole, the structure is simple.
- 5. Since the hook receivers and the claw receiver are formed so as to be located on a straight line and the hooks and the claw are formed so as to be located on a straight line, the manufacture is easy.
- 6. The base and the bracket are each easily manufactured from a synthetic resin and the cost is low.
- In the base assembly described above, the claw and the claw receiver in a pair are arranged between the hooks and the hook receivers in two pairs. However, this arrangement order may be suitably changed in design. The number of pairs of hooks and hook receivers and the number of pairs of claws and claw receivers can be increased. The
first hook receiver 2 a, thesingle claw receiver 2 c, and thesecond hook receiver 2 b in thebase 1 may be formed at positions slightly offset from a straight line and, likewise, thefirst hook 11 a, thesingle claw 11 c, and thesecond hook 11 b in thebracket 11 may be formed at positions slightly offset from a straight line. Further, the base assembly is applicable not only to the main equipment for the communication apparatus, but also to other apparatuses, for example, the whole range of household electrical apparatuses. - Now, referring to
FIGS. 6A and 6B , the description will be directed to the first related art mentioned in the column of “Background Art”. -
FIG. 6A illustrates a state before fixing abracket 31 to a base 21 using threescrews 41. Thebase 21 has a rectangular parallelepiped frame structure. As illustrated inFIG. 6B , abottom plate 22 of thebase 21 is formed with a threescrew holes 22 a. To thisbottom plate 22, thebracket 31 is fixed by the threescrews 41. Thebracket 31 is in the form of a rectangular plate and has female threadedportions 31 a for thescrews 41 at three portions of the bottom. Known necessary structures are formed on both left and right sides of thebracket 31. - When fixing the
bracket 31 to thebase 21, thebracket 31 is first moved downward in an arrow direction by operator's fingers inFIG. 6A , thereby positioning the three female threadedportions 31 a of thebracket 31 in registry with the corresponding screw holes 22 a of thebottom plate 22 as illustrated inFIG. 6B . Then, the threescrews 41 are screwed into the corresponding female threadedportions 31 a of thebracket 31 through the corresponding screw holes 22 a from the back side of thebottom plate 22. Thereupon, thebracket 31 is fixed to thebase 21. - However, with the structure illustrated in
FIGS. 6A and 6B , the number of assembling steps is large, the number of components is large, there is a disadvantage in terms of design because the heads of the screws are visible from the outside, and further the cost increases.
