Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A shutoff valve adaptor and a measuring unit adaptor are resin members and each of them has an elastically deformable hooking claw. Each of sheet metal members has a hooking target portion. The shutoff valve adaptor is mounted to the sheet metal member by a snap-fit portion comprising the hooking target portion and the hooking claw hooked to the hooking target portion, and the measuring unit adaptor is mounted to the sheet metal member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A component mounting structure for a gas meter, comprising: a resin member having an elastically deformable hooking claw; and a sheet metal member having a hooking target portion that is a peripheral edge portion of an opening portion connecting an inside and an outside of the gas meter, the hooking target portion being present on the inside of the gas meter, wherein the hooking claw is hooked to the hooking target portion to form a snap-fit portion that mounts the resin member to the sheet metal member, the resin member has a through-hole, the sheet metal member has a sheet metal piece extending toward the resin member and passing through the through-hole, the sheet metal piece has a small piece portion at one end that is a fixed end and a large piece portion at the other end that is a free end, and the large piece portion faces a peripheral edge portion of the through-hole, the peripheral edge portion being oriented to the inside of the gas meter. 2. The component mounting structure for a gas meter according to claim 1 , wherein a measuring unit or a shutoff valve is connected to the resin member. 3. A gas meter, comprising: a resin member having an elastically deformable hooking claw; and a sheet metal member having a hooking target portion that is a peripheral edge portion of an opening portion connecting an inside and an outside of the gas meter, the hooking target portion being present on the inside of the gas meter, wherein the hooking claw is hooked to the hooking target portion to form a snap-fit portion that mounts the resin member to the sheet metal member, the resin member has a through-hole, the sheet metal member has a sheet metal piece extending toward the resin member and passing through the through-hole, the sheet metal piece has a small piece portion at one end that is a fixed end and a large piece portion at the other end that is a free end, and the large piece portion faces a peripheral edge portion of the through-hole, the peripheral edge portion being oriented to the inside of the gas meter. 4. The gas meter according to claim 3 , wherein a measuring unit or a shutoff valve is connected to the resin member.
