Abstract
When an operating unit (10) of a vehicle-mounted electronic equipment is attached to its equipment body (20), a first engaging portion (18) and a second engaging portion (24) of engaging means are engaged and the operating unit is turned around the engaging means in a direction in which the operating unit contacts the equipment body substantially completely. In this case, a releasing member (11) moves a locking member (4) to a releasing position. Under such situation, a locking portion (7) of the operating unit and a locking portion (6) of the equipment body are aligned in position. The locking member (4) is then turned to a locking position where the locking means is locked to thereby complete the attachment of the operating unit to the equipment body. When the operating unit is to be removed from the equipment body, the releasing member (11) is operated to release the restriction of the locking member (4) by a restricting member (3), and the locking member is turned in a releasing direction to thereby release the locking means and hence remove the operating unit from the equipment body.
