Abstract

A fixture structure for an in-vehicle electronic apparatus includes an in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket through which an in-vehicle electronic apparatus is attached to a vehicle body. The in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket includes a retreat structure part allowing the in-vehicle electronic apparatus to retreat toward the front of the vehicle body when a dynamic load is inputted into the in-vehicle electronic apparatus. The retreat structure part includes: a hinge part allowing a lower portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket to rotate together with the in-vehicle electronic apparatus, toward the front of the vehicle body about an upper portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket; and a rotational displacement accepting part allowing the lower portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket to be displaced due to its own rotation toward the front of the vehicle body.

Claims (9)

1. A fixture structure for an in-vehicle electronic apparatus comprising:

an in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket through which an in-vehicle electronic apparatus is attached to a vehicle body, the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket including a retreat structure part allowing the in-vehicle electronic apparatus to retreat toward a front of the vehicle body when a dynamic load is inputted into the in-vehicle electronic apparatus,

the retreat structure part including:

a hinge part allowing a lower portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket to rotate, together with the in-vehicle electronic apparatus, toward the front of the vehicle body about an upper portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket, and

a rotational displacement accepting part allowing the lower portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket to be displaced due to its own rotation toward the front of the vehicle body.

2. The fixture structure for an in-vehicle electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the hinge part is a notched part formed in a front edge of an upper portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket.

3. The fixture structure for an in-vehicle electronic apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the rotational displacement accepting part is a bend-destined part capable of bending in response to the rotation of the lower portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket toward the front of the vehicle body.

4. The fixture structure for an in-vehicle electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the rotational displacement accepting part is a bend-destined part capable of bending in response to the rotation of the lower portion of the in-vehicle electronic apparatus fixture bracket toward the front of the vehicle body.

5. The fixture structure for an in-vehicle electronic apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a receiving space capable of accepting the bend of the bend-destined part is set at a front side of the bend-destined part in the vehicle body.
