この例の構成によれば、筐体の内部底面に所定長の段差部又は溝部が設けられ、該段差部又は溝部の下段にケーブルが通され、該ケーブルにはシート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材が被せられているので、エンドユーザからケーブルを隠匿できる。該目隠し材は、前記段差部の上段に（両面）粘着材又は接着剤等を用いて、確実容易に固定できる。ここで、筐体底面を構成する素材との密着性（親和性）の良い粘着材又は接着剤を用いるようにすれば、容易には剥離できないので、ケーブルが故意に引き抜かれる虞はない。それゆえ、機器の安全性は保たれ、電気特性の劣化や変動を防止でき、機器破壊も免れる。
また、シート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材は、肉厚が薄いので、薄型の電子機器に適用して好適である。 According to the configuration of this example, a step portion or a groove portion having a predetermined length is provided on the inner bottom surface of the housing, and a cable is passed through the lower portion of the step portion or groove portion, and a sheet-like or film-like blindfold is provided in the cable Can be concealed from the end user. The blindfold can be reliably and easily fixed to the upper part of the step portion using a (double-sided) adhesive or adhesive. Here, if a pressure-sensitive adhesive material or adhesive having good adhesion (affinity) with the material constituting the bottom surface of the housing is used, the cable cannot be intentionally pulled out because it cannot be easily peeled off. Therefore, the safety of the device is maintained, electrical characteristics can be prevented from deteriorating and changing, and the device can be prevented from being destroyed.
In addition, since the sheet-like or film-like blindfold has a small thickness, it is suitable for application to a thin electronic device.

また、目隠し材は、断面Ｌ字曲げとするのが好ましい。断面Ｌ字曲げの構成によれば、平面部に側壁部が加わるので、側壁部の剛性によって、ケーブルのが目隠し材の外への動きが押さえられ、この結果、ケーブルが、目隠し材の下部に安定的に納まることとなる。それゆえ、ケーブルを確実に隠匿できる。加えて、側壁部は、位置決めとしても機能するので、目隠し材を一段と確実かつ容易に取着することができる。 Moreover, it is preferable that the blindfold has an L-shaped cross section. According to the configuration of the L-shaped cross section, since the side wall portion is added to the flat surface portion, the movement of the cable to the outside of the blindfold is suppressed by the rigidity of the side wall portion. As a result, the cable is placed below the blindfold material. It will be delivered stably. Therefore, the cable can be reliably concealed. In addition, since the side wall portion also functions as positioning, the blindfold can be attached more reliably and easily.

エンドユーザによって開閉可能な筐体の内部底面（例えば、電池パック収納部の内部底面）にケーブルを納める程度の所定長の段差部又は溝部を設け、該段差部の下段又は溝部に前記ケーブルを通した後、シート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材によって、ケーブルを覆って、目隠しする。目隠し材は、段差部の上段又は溝部の外縁にのみ、筐体底面との密着性の良い接着剤又は粘着材（好適には、両面粘着テープ）を用いて固定し、ケーブルには接着剤又は粘着材が付かないようにするのが好ましい。何故なら、ケーブルが目隠し材に貼り付けば、目隠し材にケーブルが付きまとい、位置決めや作業性に支障をきたすからである。シート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材であれば、肉厚が薄いので、内部底面との異質感、異材感がなく、その下のケーブルに気付かれる虞はなく、たとえ、シート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材を故意に引き剥がそうとされても、目隠し材は、筐体の内部底面との密着性の良い接着剤又は粘着材を用いて、筐体の内部底面に貼着されているので、簡単には、目隠し材を剥ぐことはできない。それゆえ、ケーブルを故意に引き抜かれる虞はない。 A step or groove having a predetermined length is provided on the inner bottom of the housing that can be opened and closed by the end user (for example, the inner bottom of the battery pack housing), and the cable is passed through the lower or groove of the step. After that, the cable is covered with a sheet-like or film-like blinding material to be blinded. The blindfold is fixed to the upper part of the stepped part or the outer edge of the groove part only by using an adhesive or adhesive material (preferably a double-sided adhesive tape) having good adhesion to the bottom of the housing, and the cable has an adhesive or adhesive. It is preferable not to attach the adhesive material. This is because if the cable is attached to the blindfold, the cable is attached to the blindfold, which hinders positioning and workability. If it is a sheet-like or film-like blindfold, the wall thickness is thin, so there is no different texture from the inner bottom surface, there is no sense of different materials, and there is no risk of being noticed by the cable under it, even if it is a sheet-like or film-like blindfold Even if the material is deliberately peeled off, the blindfold is easily adhered to the internal bottom surface of the housing using an adhesive or adhesive that has good adhesion to the internal bottom surface of the housing. The blindfold cannot be removed. Therefore, there is no possibility that the cable is intentionally pulled out.

As shown in FIG. 4, a cable installation groove 20 is provided on the bottom surface adjacent to the inner edge 9 a of the case 9, which corresponds to a portion extending from the board storage 18 to the battery pack storage 13. Yes. As shown in FIG. 8, the cable-arranging groove portion 20 is recessed at a shallower step than the bottom surface 13 a of the battery pack housing portion 13 so as to accommodate the cable 21 having a small diameter. Thus, the main circuit board 12 disposed in the upper half of the case 9 and the sub circuit board 14 disposed in a portion far from the main circuit board 12 (the lower end portion of the case 9) are connected to each other by a cable distribution. It is electrically connected by the cable 21 disposed in the installation groove portion 20 and can transmit and receive various signals between each other.

ケーブル２１が配設されたケーブル配設用溝部２０には、図３及び図６に示すように、シート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材２２が被せられていて、図７に示す開閉蓋１１が開けられても、外部から、ケーブル２１を見ることも、ケーブル２１に気付くこともできないようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the cable placement groove 20 provided with the cable 21 is covered with a sheet-like or film-like blind material 22, and the opening / closing lid 11 shown in FIG. 7 is opened. However, the cable 21 cannot be seen or noticed from the outside.

この例の目隠し材２２は、図９及び図１０に示すように、ケーブル配設用溝部２０に通されたケーブル２１をその上方から目隠しするための平面部２２ａと、この平面部２２ａの縁端部のうち、ケーブル配設用溝部２０内に配置される縁端部にて屈曲連設又は湾曲連設されて、L字曲げとされ、ケーブル２１の動きを拘束し、このケーブル２１の離脱露出を防止するための側壁部２２ｂとからなっている。目隠し材２２の平面部２２ａ裏面には、粘着性の良い両面粘着テープ２３が貼付されている。両面粘着テープ２３は、ケーブル配設用溝部２０の外縁との粘着に留め、ケーブル配設用溝部２０内にはみ出さないように、平面部２２ａ裏面に貼付することが好ましい。何故なら、ケーブルが目隠し材に貼り付けば、目隠し材にケーブルが付きまとい、位置決めや作業性に支障をきたすからである。 As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the blindfold material 22 in this example includes a planar portion 22 a for blindfolding the cable 21 passed through the cable placement groove portion 20 from above, and an edge of the planar portion 22 a. Of the cables, the bent end or the bent end is arranged at the edge portion arranged in the cable installation groove portion 20, and is bent into an L shape to restrain the movement of the cable 21, and the cable 21 is detached and exposed. It consists of a side wall portion 22b for preventing this. A double-sided adhesive tape 23 with good adhesiveness is attached to the back surface of the flat portion 22a of the blindfold material 22. The double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 23 is preferably stuck to the outer edge of the cable-arranging groove 20 and is affixed to the back surface of the flat portion 22 a so as not to protrude into the cable-arranging groove 20. This is because if the cable is attached to the blindfold, the cable is attached to the blindfold, which hinders positioning and workability.

目隠し材２２の好適な材質としては、例えば、ＰＥＴ（polyethylene terephthalate）フィルム又はＰＥＴシート等を挙げることができるが、これに限定するものではなく、必要に応じて、他の樹脂シートでも良く又は紙類等でも良い。 Suitable materials for the blindfold material 22 include, for example, a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film or a PET sheet. However, the material is not limited to this, and other resin sheets or paper may be used as necessary. Kinds may be used.

この例の構成によれば、目隠し材として、肉厚が薄い目隠し材を用いるようにしたので、ケース９の内部底面の材質との異質感、異材感がなく、その下のケーブルに気付かれる虞はなく、たとえ、シート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材を故意に引き剥がそうとされても、目隠し材２２は、ケース９の内部底面の材質との密着性の良い両面粘着テープを用いて、ケース９の内部底面に貼着されているので、簡単には、目隠し材２２を剥ぐことはできない。それゆえ、ケーブルを故意に引き抜かれる虞はない。 According to the configuration of this example, a thin-thickness blindfold material is used as the blindfold material, so there is no dissimilar texture and dissimilarity to the material of the inner bottom surface of the case 9 and there is a risk that the cable underneath will be noticed. Even if the sheet-like or film-like blindfold is intentionally peeled off, the blindfold 22 is made of a double-sided adhesive tape that has good adhesion to the material of the inner bottom surface of the case 9. Since it is affixed to the inner bottom surface of 9, the blindfold 22 cannot be easily peeled off. Therefore, there is no possibility that the cable is intentionally pulled out.

上述の第１実施例では、ケース９の内側縁部９ａに隣接して沿う底面にケーブル配設用溝部を設けるようにした場合について述べたが、これに代えて、この第２実施例では、ケース９の内部底面に所定長の段差部を設け、この段差部の下段にケーブルを通し、このケーブルに、例えばＬ字曲げされたシート状又はフィルム状の目隠し材を被せ、この目隠し材を、段差部の上段に粘着固定するようにしても良い。 In the first embodiment described above, a case has been described in which the cable placement groove portion is provided on the bottom surface adjacent to the inner edge portion 9a of the case 9, but instead, in this second embodiment, A step portion having a predetermined length is provided on the inner bottom surface of the case 9, a cable is passed through the lower step of the step portion, and the cable is covered with, for example, an L-shaped sheet-like or film-like blindfold, You may make it adhere and fix to the upper stage of a level | step-difference part.
