View Patent ↗An assembly structure for an assembly member includes a locking protrusion disposed in a protruding manner on a speedometer ring portion of a decorative ring and a locking portion formed in a meter case and configured to lock the locking protrusion. The locking protrusion includes a substantially quadrangular prismatic portion, which is disposed in a hanging manner from the speedometer ring portion, and a locking depression, which is formed by means of notching across two adjacent lateral faces of the substantially quadrangular prismatic portion. The locking portion includes a locking wall, which extends inward from an opening edge of a locking hole that is formed in the meter case, and a locking protruding part, which is disposed in a protruding manner on the locking wall and which engages with the locking depression.
1. An assembly structure comprising:
a locking protrusion disposed in a protruding manner on an assembly member; and
a locking portion formed in a target member to be assembled and configured to lock the locking protrusion, wherein
the locking protrusion includes a substantially quadrangular prismatic portion, which is disposed in a hanging manner from the assembly member, and a locking depression extending into the substantially quadrangular prismatic portion from only two adjacent lateral faces of the substantially quadrangular prismatic portion,
the locking portion includes a locking wall, which extends inward from an opening edge of a locking hole that is formed in the target member to be assembled, and a locking protruding part, which is disposed in a protruding manner on the locking wall and which engages with the locking depression,
the assembly member is a decorative ring disposed on a front side of a dial,
the target member to be assembled is a meter case, and
when the decorative ring is attached to and fixed to the meter case so that the decorative ring is disposed to an outer periphery of the dial, and so that the dial is sandwiched between the decorative ring and the meter case, the locking protrusion is disposed to the decorative ring in a hanging manner toward the locking hole formed in the meter case.
2. The assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the substantially quadrangular prismatic portion includes a round chamfering at a leading end thereof, and
the locking protruding part includes a tapered surface which makes a sliding contact with the leading end of the substantially quadrangular prismatic portion.
3. The assembly structure according to claim 1 , wherein
one of the two adjacent lateral faces, which the locking depression extends into the substantially quadrangular prismatic portion from, serves as a lateral face of the substantially quadrangular prismatic portion that is positioned outward in the radial direction of the decorative ring.
