Abstract

An on-vehicle device includes a display device, a body device, and a support plate. The body device is installed on a back surface of the display device. The support plate includes a fixation part with a plate shape that is fixed on a top surface of the body device and a support part with a plate shape that is continuous with the fixation part and is formed so as to be bent, and supports a back surface of the display device by a plate spring part that is formed on the support part.

Claims (22)

1. An on-vehicle device, comprising:

a display device;

a body device that is installed on a back surface of the display device; and

a support plate that includes (i) a fixation part, which has a plate shape and is fixed on a top surface of the body device, and (ii) a support part, which has a plate shape that is continuous with the fixation part and is formed to be bent, the support plate supporting a back surface of the display device by a plate spring part that is formed on the support part and contacts the back surface of the display device,

wherein a part of the display device that contacts the plate spring part is formed by an electrically conductive member.

2. The on-vehicle device according to claim 1 , wherein

the back surface of the display device that contacts the plate spring part and a front surface of the display device that displays information are inclined by a predetermined angle relative to a vertical direction, and

the support part is inclined by the predetermined angle relative to the vertical direction in a state where the fixation part is fixed on the body device.

3. The on-vehicle device according to claim 1 , wherein the body device includes:

a housing with a box shape, a length between top and bottom surfaces of the housing being greater than a length between front and back surfaces of the housing; and

a substrate that is electrically connected to the support plate and that is arranged inside the housing so as to have a surface orientation that is parallel to orientations of the front surface and the back surface of the housing.

4. An on-vehicle device, comprising:

a display device;

a body device that is installed on a back surface of the display device; and

a support plate that includes (i) a fixation part, which has a plate shape and is fixed on a top surface of the body device, and (ii) a support part, which has a plate shape that is continuous with the fixation part and is formed to be bent, the support plate supporting a back surface of the display device by a plate spring part that is formed on the support part and contacts the back surface of the display device,

wherein a part of the body device that contacts the fixation part is formed by an electrically conductive member.

5. The on-vehicle device according to claim 4 , wherein

the back surface of the display device that contacts the plate spring part and a front surface of the display device that displays information are inclined by a predetermined angle relative to a vertical direction, and

the support part is inclined by the predetermined angle relative to the vertical direction in a state where the fixation part is fixed on the body device.

6. The on-vehicle device according to claim 4 , wherein the body device includes:

a housing with a box shape, a length between top and bottom surfaces of the housing being greater than a length between front and back surfaces of the housing; and

a substrate that is electrically connected to the support plate and that is arranged inside the housing so as to have a surface orientation that is parallel to orientations of the front surface and the back surface of the housing.
