Abstract
A case for communication signal access apparatus comprises a box, a cover, and a hinge portion. The opening surrounding the box is configured with a first leaning part, and the opening surrounding the box is configured with a second leaning part, and the edge surrounding the second leaning part is configured with side dike. The hinge portion is configured on the inner surface on one side of the box and on the inner surface on one side of the cover. When the cover is closed and sealed with the box, the side dike seals the seam from the closing of the first leaning part with the second leaning part. Thus, the case for communication signal access apparatus according to the present invention employs the side dike to separate water or dust from introducing into the case through the seam between the first leaning part and the second leaning part.
Description
- This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 098223680 filed in Taiwan, R.O.C. on 17 Dec. 2009, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to a case for utilizing in communication signal access apparatus, and particularly to a case that can effectively prevent water or dust from penetrating into the case.
- In our daily life, the application of various wired communication apparatuses, such as telephone and ADSL, are popular and widely used. Because of the continuous progress in technologies, the data transmission speed for various types of communication apparatus is continuously improved, and the precision requirement in the associated devices is increasingly demanded, and the control of environmental conditions of the apparatuses is becoming more crucial. Except for the heat dissipation problems during operation of the product, the fundamental issue of the communication apparatuses is how to prevent the permeation of water or dust into the internal components of the apparatuses so that those internal components are protected from the humid and dusty environment. The deterioration of internal components can be prevented so that the apparatuses are operated normally, and the lifespan of the internal components is preserved. As for the signal access apparatuses applied for connecting different kinds of communication signal transmission devices, they are mostly installed outdoor, which are inevitably and continuously exposed to wind blowing, sunlight and rain. In other words, the communication apparatuses are continuously subjected to moisture, windy and dusty conditions. Thus, the design of the cover structure of the communication apparatuses is important for protecting the internal components as the cover has to be both waterproof and dustproof.
