Abstract

A pressed article includes a main body, a recess portion, a pin, and a groove portion. The main body has a plate shape. The recess portion is provided in a first surface of the main body facing one side in a plate thickness direction of the main body. The pin is provided at a position corresponding to the recess portion on a side of a second surface opposite to the first surface of the main body, is formed to have an outer shape smaller than that of the recess portion when viewed in the plate thickness direction of the main body, and protrudes in the plate thickness direction of the main body. The groove portion is recessed from the second surface of the main body toward the first surface and is provided to surround at least a part of the periphery of the pin.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A pressed article comprising:
a plate-shaped main body; a recess portion provided in a first surface of the main body facing one side in a plate thickness direction of the main body; a pin provided at a position corresponding to the recess portion on a side of a second surface opposite to the first surface of the main body, having an outer shape smaller than an outer shape of the recess portion when viewed in the plate thickness direction of the main body, and protruding in the plate thickness direction of the main body; and a groove portion recessed from the second surface of the main body toward the first surface, in a C shape when viewed in the plate thickness direction of the main body, and surrounding a part of a periphery of the pin.

2 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , wherein
a position where the groove portion is provided is in an area outside an inscribed circle of a shape of the recess portion and on an inner side of a position, which is obtained by adding a distance of 1.5 times a plate thickness of the main body to a radius of a circumscribed circle of the shape of the recess portion, when viewed in the plate thickness direction of the main body.

3 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , wherein
a depth of the groove portion is in a range of 2% to 20% of a plate thickness of the main body.

4 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , wherein
the groove portion has such a tapered inner wall surface that a width of the groove portion gradually decreases from the second surface toward the first surface in a cross-sectional view, which is parallel to the plate thickness direction of the main body.

5 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pedestal portion provided in a periphery of the pin on the second surface of the main body and having a surface perpendicular to an axis center of the pin, wherein a shape and a size of the recess portion are same as or larger than a shape and a size of the pedestal portion when viewed in the plate thickness direction of the main body, and the groove portion surrounds at least a part of a periphery of the pin and the pedestal portion.

6 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , wherein
in a cross-sectional view parallel to the plate thickness direction of the main body, a distance between the recess portion and the groove portion is larger than a distance between the recess portion and the second surface.

7 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , wherein
the pin is closer to one outer edge of the main body than an other outer edge of the main body, when viewed in the plate thickness direction.

8 . The pressed article according to claim 7 , wherein
the groove portion surrounds the part of the periphery of the pin, without surrounding an other part of the periphery of the pin on a side of the one outer edge of the main body.

9 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a pedestal portion provided in a periphery of the pin on the second surface of the main body and having a surface perpendicular to an axis center of the pin, wherein the pedestal portion is formed in an elliptical shape when viewed in the plate thickness direction of the main body.

10 . The pressed article according to claim 1 , wherein
the pin is provided in the vicinity of an outer edge of the main body, when viewed in the plate thickness direction.
