A rotation shaft portion 5 to be described later is connected to the opening edge portion of the shaft communication opening 57 on the back surface (the device body 3 side) of the base plate 45.
 次に、図5に示すように、蓋ケース42は、本体ケース41と同一輪郭に形成された枠体46と、枠体46の中央の開口部分を塞ぐように貼り付けられたカバー板47と、を有している。すなわち、蓋ケース42は、全体として、本体ケース41と同一輪郭形状を有し、本体ケース41側を開放した箱状に形成されている。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the lid case 42 includes a frame body 46 having the same contour as that of the main body case 41, and a cover plate 47 attached so as to close the central opening of the frame body 46. ,have. That is, the lid case 42 as a whole has the same contour shape as the main body case 41 and is formed in a box shape with the main body case 41 side open.
 枠体46は、例えばABS樹脂等の材料で枠状に形成されている。枠体46の一方の長辺(図4では左側)には、ヒンジ部材61が設けられている。枠体46は、ヒンジ部材61を介して、本体ケース41(コネクタアッセンブリー44)に対し、開閉自在に接続されている。これにより、蓋ケース42を開放することで、携帯機器2の操作を本体ケース41に装着したまま行うことができる。また、蓋ケース42を開放した状態で、本体ケース41に対する携帯機器2の着脱を、上方から容易に行うことができる。 The frame 46 is formed in a frame shape with a material such as ABS resin. A hinge member 61 is provided on one long side (left side in FIG. 4) of the frame 46. The frame body 46 is connected to the main body case 41 (connector assembly 44) via a hinge member 61 so as to be freely opened and closed. Thus, by opening the lid case 42, the operation of the mobile device 2 can be performed while being attached to the main body case 41. In addition, the portable device 2 can be easily attached to and detached from the main body case 41 with the lid case 42 opened.
 また、枠体46の他方の長辺(図4では右側)には、本体ケース41に対し、蓋ケース42の閉塞状態を保持するためのロック機構62が設けられている。ロック機構62は、蓋ケース42を閉じた状態で、本体ケース41に係合するフック部(図示省略)を有している。ロック機構62は、蓋ケース42を本体ケース41に対して押圧することで、蓋ケース42を本体ケース41上に係止する。 Further, on the other long side (right side in FIG. 4) of the frame body 46, a lock mechanism 62 for holding the closed state of the lid case 42 with respect to the main body case 41 is provided. The lock mechanism 62 has a hook portion (not shown) that engages with the main body case 41 with the lid case 42 closed. The lock mechanism 62 locks the lid case 42 on the main body case 41 by pressing the lid case 42 against the main body case 41.
 なお、他のロック機構62として、蓋ケース42および本体ケース41にそれぞれ係合部を設け、蓋ケース42を閉じた状態で、2つの係合部を挟み込む部材をスライド自在に設けた構成としてもよい。 In addition, as another lock mechanism 62, an engagement portion may be provided in the lid case 42 and the main body case 41, respectively, and a member that sandwiches the two engagement portions may be slidably provided with the lid case 42 closed. Good.
 カバー板47は、枠体46に中央開口を覆うようにして、外側から水密状態で貼付されている。また、カバー板47は、透光性を有する材料(例えば、アクリル樹脂など)で板状に形成されている。これにより、蓋ケース42を閉塞した状態であっても、本体ケース41に装着した携帯機器2の表示部を目視することができる。したがって、携帯機器2の表示部に映し出される画像や映像を鑑賞することができる。 The cover plate 47 is attached to the frame 46 in a watertight state from the outside so as to cover the central opening. The cover plate 47 is formed in a plate shape with a light-transmitting material (for example, acrylic resin). Thereby, even when the lid case 42 is closed, the display unit of the mobile device 2 attached to the main body case 41 can be visually observed. Therefore, it is possible to appreciate images and videos displayed on the display unit of the mobile device 2.
 なお、カバー板47は、可とう性を有するフィルム状に形成してもよい。これにより、蓋ケース42を閉塞した状態であっても、本体ケース41に装着した携帯機器2の操作部22を操作することができる。また、携帯機器2の操作部22が、静電容量式のタッチパネルである場合、カバー板47は、静電容量式タッチパネルの機能を損なわない非導電性薄板であることが好ましい。この場合、カバー板47は、携帯機器2の操作部22(表示部21)に密着していることが好ましい。 The cover plate 47 may be formed in a flexible film shape. Thereby, even when the lid case 42 is closed, the operation unit 22 of the portable device 2 attached to the main body case 41 can be operated. In addition, when the operation unit 22 of the portable device 2 is a capacitive touch panel, the cover plate 47 is preferably a non-conductive thin plate that does not impair the function of the capacitive touch panel. In this case, the cover plate 47 is preferably in close contact with the operation unit 22 (display unit 21) of the mobile device 2.
 図5および図7(a)に示すように、ケースパッキン43は、例えばシリコンゴム等からなるリング状の部材である。ケースパッキン43は、コネクタアッセンブリー44の装着プレート51表面に窪入形成されたシール溝56に嵌合している。また、図7(b)に示すように、蓋ケース42(枠体46)には、シール溝56と同一輪郭に形成され、シール溝56に係合する係合突起63が突設されている。したがって、蓋ケース42を閉塞すると、係合突起63が、ケースパッキン43を押し潰しながらシール溝56に入り込む。これにより、保護ケース4内を防水状態とすることができ、コネクタアッセンブリー44に装着した携帯機器2を保護することができる。すなわち、蓋ケース42は、装着プレート51と略同一形状であり、ケースパッキン43を介して、本体ケース41内を密封している。なお、蓋ケース42の枠体46側にシール溝56を設け、ケースパッキン43を、枠体46側に嵌合させてもよい。また、係合突起63は省略してもよい。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 7A, the case packing 43 is a ring-shaped member made of, for example, silicon rubber. The case packing 43 is fitted in a seal groove 56 that is recessed in the surface of the mounting plate 51 of the connector assembly 44. Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the lid case 42 (frame body 46) is formed with the same contour as the seal groove 56 and is provided with an engaging protrusion 63 that engages with the seal groove 56. . Therefore, when the lid case 42 is closed, the engaging protrusion 63 enters the seal groove 56 while crushing the case packing 43. Thereby, the inside of the protective case 4 can be made waterproof, and the portable device 2 attached to the connector assembly 44 can be protected. That is, the lid case 42 has substantially the same shape as the mounting plate 51 and seals the inside of the main body case 41 via the case packing 43. Note that a seal groove 56 may be provided on the frame body 46 side of the lid case 42 and the case packing 43 may be fitted on the frame body 46 side. Further, the engagement protrusion 63 may be omitted.
 ここで、保護ケース4に携帯機器2を装着する手順について簡単に説明する。先ず、図8に示すように、保護ケース4を縦向き位置とした状態で、蓋ケース42を開放し、表示部21等を外側(蓋ケース42側)に向けた携帯機器2を、コネクタ52とスライド突起54との間に臨ませる。そして、携帯機器2のジャックをコネクタ52に接続する。その後、スライド突起54(図8では図示省略)を、スライドさせて携帯機器2の上面に当接させる。これにより、携帯機器2を本体ケース41に装着するだけで、携帯機器2と機器本体3とを電気的な接続状態にすることができる。また、コネクタ52とスライド突起54との間に挟むようにして携帯機器2を本体ケース41に不動に保持することで、コネクタ52に対して携帯機器2位置を確実に固定し、接続不良や脱落を、有効に防止することができる。 Here, the procedure for mounting the portable device 2 on the protective case 4 will be briefly described. First, as shown in FIG. 8, with the protective case 4 in the vertical position, the lid case 42 is opened, and the portable device 2 with the display unit 21 and the like facing outward (the lid case 42 side) is connected to the connector 52. And the slide protrusion 54. Then, the jack of the mobile device 2 is connected to the connector 52. Thereafter, the slide protrusion 54 (not shown in FIG. 8) is slid to contact the upper surface of the portable device 2. Thereby, the portable device 2 and the device main body 3 can be brought into an electrically connected state only by attaching the portable device 2 to the main body case 41. Further, by holding the portable device 2 in the main body case 41 so as to be sandwiched between the connector 52 and the slide protrusion 54, the position of the portable device 2 is securely fixed to the connector 52, and connection failure or dropout is prevented. It can be effectively prevented.
 次に、図6を参照して、回動軸部5について説明する。回動軸部5は、全体として略中空円筒状に形成されている。回動軸部5は、軸心部に通信ケーブル6が配線されるケーブル開口5aが形成された軸部本体5bと、軸部本体5bの先端に形成された係合フック部5cと、を有している。回動軸部5は、ケーブル開口5aがベースプレート45に形成された軸連通開口57に連通するように、ベースプレート45の背面(機器本体3側)において、軸連通開口57の開口縁部に連接されている。通信ケーブル6は、回動軸部5のケーブル開口5a内を挿通することで、携帯機器2と機器本体3とを通信接続させる。また、回動軸部5は保護ケースの回動に伴って回動するが、ケーブル開口5aに通信ケーブル6を配線することで、通信ケーブル6に対し損傷を生ずるような外力が作用することがない。 Next, the rotation shaft portion 5 will be described with reference to FIG. The rotating shaft part 5 is formed in a substantially hollow cylindrical shape as a whole. The rotation shaft portion 5 includes a shaft portion main body 5b in which a cable opening 5a in which the communication cable 6 is wired is formed at the shaft center portion, and an engagement hook portion 5c formed at the tip of the shaft portion main body 5b. is doing. The rotation shaft portion 5 is connected to the opening edge portion of the shaft communication opening 57 on the back surface of the base plate 45 (on the apparatus body 3 side) so that the cable opening 5a communicates with the shaft communication opening 57 formed in the base plate 45. ing. The communication cable 6 allows the mobile device 2 and the device body 3 to communicate with each other by being inserted through the cable opening 5 a of the rotation shaft portion 5. Moreover, although the rotation shaft part 5 rotates with the rotation of the protective case, an external force that causes damage to the communication cable 6 may act by wiring the communication cable 6 in the cable opening 5a. Absent.
 回動軸部5は、係合フック部5cを、ケース受容部31(正面壁31a)に形成された軸用開口33に押し込むことにより取り付けられる。すなわち、軸用開口33を挿通した係合フック部5cが抜け止めとなる。また同時に、回動軸部5は、軸部本体5bの部分で軸用開口33に回動自在に軸支される。さらに、回動軸部5を軸用開口33に軸支されると、ベースプレート45の背面は、リング状パッキン32に押し当てられた状態となる。したがって、リング状パッキン32は、回動軸部5を囲繞して設けられ、保護ケース4とケース受容部31との間を水密状態とする。これにより、保護ケース4の回動を許容しつつ、保護ケース4の取り付け部分から、機器本体3内および保護ケース4内への水滴等の浸入を有効に防止することができる。また、保護ケース4の回転機構部分への塵埃の付着等も有効に防止することができる。 The rotation shaft portion 5 is attached by pushing the engagement hook portion 5c into the shaft opening 33 formed in the case receiving portion 31 (front wall 31a). That is, the engagement hook portion 5c inserted through the shaft opening 33 is prevented from coming off. At the same time, the pivot shaft 5 is pivotally supported by the shaft opening 33 at the shaft body 5b. Further, when the rotating shaft 5 is pivotally supported by the shaft opening 33, the back surface of the base plate 45 is pressed against the ring-shaped packing 32. Accordingly, the ring-shaped packing 32 is provided so as to surround the rotating shaft portion 5, and makes the space between the protective case 4 and the case receiving portion 31 watertight. Accordingly, it is possible to effectively prevent water droplets or the like from entering the device main body 3 and the protective case 4 from the attachment portion of the protective case 4 while allowing the protective case 4 to rotate. Further, dust can be effectively prevented from adhering to the rotating mechanism portion of the protective case 4.
 また、上記したように、回動軸部5を支持する軸用開口33は、正面壁31aの中央から右側に偏心した位置に開口している。すなわち、軸用開口33は、保護ケース4を縦向き位置に回動させたときに、保護ケース4の下端が、オーディオ再生装置1の載置面に接触することのない位置に設けられている。このため、保護ケース4を、縦向き位置と横向き位置との間で円滑に回動させることができる。また、保護ケース4を縦向き位置から更に逆方向に回動させると、保護ケース4の側面がケース受容部31の右側壁31bの上縁端に突き当たる。このため、ケース受容部31を、保護ケース4の回動端位置を規制するストッパーとして機能させることができる。 Further, as described above, the shaft opening 33 that supports the rotating shaft portion 5 is opened at a position eccentric to the right side from the center of the front wall 31a. That is, the shaft opening 33 is provided at a position where the lower end of the protective case 4 does not contact the mounting surface of the audio reproducing device 1 when the protective case 4 is rotated to the vertical position. . For this reason, the protective case 4 can be smoothly rotated between the vertical position and the horizontal position. When the protective case 4 is further rotated in the reverse direction from the vertical position, the side surface of the protective case 4 abuts on the upper edge of the right side wall 31 b of the case receiving portion 31. For this reason, the case receiving portion 31 can function as a stopper that regulates the rotation end position of the protective case 4.
 なお、軸用開口33の開口縁部および軸連通開口57の開口縁部には、縦向き位置と横向き位置とでクリック係合するクリック機構7が組み込まれている。図2ないし図4に示すように、クリック機構7は、軸用開口33の開口縁部に窪入形成された3つのクリック凹部7aと、軸連通開口57の開口縁部に突出形成された2つのクリック凸部7bと、を有している。クリック機構7は、保護ケース4を縦向き位置または横向き位置に回動させたときに、各クリック凸部7bが、対応するクリック凹部7aに嵌合することにより、その姿勢を保持することができるようになっている。なお、クリック凹部7aおよびクリック凸部7bの形成数および形成位置は任意である。 A click mechanism 7 that is click-engaged in a vertical position and a horizontal position is incorporated in the opening edge of the shaft opening 33 and the opening edge of the shaft communication opening 57. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the click mechanism 7 includes three click recesses 7 a that are recessed at the opening edge of the shaft opening 33, and two protrusions that are formed at the opening edge of the shaft communication opening 57. Two click projections 7b. When the protective case 4 is rotated to the vertical position or the horizontal position, the click mechanism 7 can maintain its posture by fitting each click convex portion 7b to the corresponding click concave portion 7a. It is like that. In addition, the formation number and formation position of the click recessed part 7a and the click convex part 7b are arbitrary.
 以上の構成によれば、機器本体3に装着した携帯機器2が、防水仕様の保護ケース4に水密に収容されるため、水滴等から携帯機器2を確実にシールすることができる。また、リング状パッキン32により、機器本体3を防水仕様とすることができるため、屋外や水場での使用に支障を生ずることがない。これにより、携帯機器2を装着し、オーディオソースの再生が可能な、防水仕様のオーディオ再生装置1を提供することができる。また、回動軸部5により保護ケース4を回転させることができるため、装着した携帯機器2の姿勢を、その使用状態に応じて自在に変更することができる。 According to the above configuration, since the portable device 2 attached to the device body 3 is watertightly accommodated in the waterproof protective case 4, the portable device 2 can be reliably sealed from water droplets or the like. Moreover, since the apparatus main body 3 can be made into a waterproof specification by the ring-shaped packing 32, it does not cause trouble in use outdoors or in water. As a result, it is possible to provide a waterproof audio reproducing apparatus 1 that is equipped with the portable device 2 and that can reproduce an audio source. Moreover, since the protective case 4 can be rotated by the rotating shaft part 5, the attitude | position of the mounted portable apparatus 2 can be freely changed according to the use condition.
 なお、本発明は、上述した実施形態に何ら限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々の形態で実施し得るものである。また、携帯機器2は、楽曲等のオーディオソースを再生するものに限らず、映像(動画)等を再生するものでもかまわない。 The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the scope of the invention. Further, the portable device 2 is not limited to reproducing an audio source such as a music piece, but may be an apparatus reproducing a video (moving image) or the like.
