Base assembly capable of reducing the number of assembling steps

Abstract

In a base assembly including a base and a bracket mounted on the base, the base comprises at least two L-shaped hook receivers and at least one claw receiver. The bracket has 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, When mounting the bracket on the base, positioning of the bracket is carried out by engagement of the hooks with the hook receivers. In addition, locking of the said bracket is carried out by engagement of the claw with the claw receiver.

1 . A base assembly comprising a base and a bracket mounted on said base,
 wherein said base comprises at least two L-shaped hook receivers and at least one claw receiver,   said bracket comprises at least two L-shaped hooks each having a shape corresponding to that of said hook receiver and at least one elastically deformable claw engageable with said claw receiver, and   when mounting said bracket on said base, positioning of said bracket is carried out by engagement of said hooks with said hook receivers and locking of said bracket is carried out by engagement of said claw with said claw receiver.   
   
   
       2 . The base assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said claw receiver is formed between said hook receivers and said claw is formed between said hooks. 
   
   
       3 . The base assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said hook receivers and said hooks are formed into symmetrical shapes so that said bracket is brought into tight contact with said base when mounting said bracket on said base. 
   
   
       4 . The base assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said claw has a projection at its free end and said claw receiver is a hole. 
   
   
       5 . The base assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said hook receivers and said claw receiver are formed so as to be located on a straight line and said hooks and said claw are formed so as to be located on a straight line. 
   
   
       6 . The base assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said base and said bracket are each molded from a synthetic resin. 
   
   
       7 . The base assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said base comprises a bottom plate, said bracket comprises a main plate portion placed perpendicular to said bottom plate, said at least two L-shaped hook receivers and said at least one claw receiver are provided at said bottom plate, and said at least two L-shaped hooks and said at least one elastically deformable claw are provided at an end face, facing said bottom plate, of said main plate portion. 
   
   
       8 . The base assembly according to  claim 7 , wherein said positioning is carried out in a direction parallel to said bottom plate and said locking is carried out in a direction perpendicular to said bottom plate.
