That is, between the case main body 20 and the placement surface P, the first support portion 60 that stands and supports the electronic dictionary 100 on the placement surface P is located. Further, a second support portion 45 that supports the electronic dictionary 100 is provided between the outer surface of the lower edge wall portion 42 (opposite the lower end portion 111 when the electronic dictionary 100 is leaned) and the placement surface P. ing. The lower surface of the second support portion 45 (the surface on the side facing the placement surface P when the electronic dictionary 100 is supported on the placement surface P while standing) is formed in a planar shape. Further, the lower edge wall portion 42 and the second support portion 45 are provided one on each of the left and right sides with the opening 31 of the back portion 30 interposed therebetween.
第１支持部６０の一端側６１は厚さ方向に２分割され、上述した差込部３２に差し込まれる。また、一端側６１の近傍には、図１における載置面Ｐと平行な直線状に折曲自在な第１可撓部６３が形成されることで、ケース本体２０に対して回動可能に接続されている。さらに、第１支持部６０の他端側６２は、載置面Ｐ側に向けて配置されている。 One end side 61 of the first support part 60 is divided into two in the thickness direction and inserted into the insertion part 32 described above. Further, a first flexible portion 63 that can be bent in a straight line parallel to the mounting surface P in FIG. It is connected. Furthermore, the other end side 62 of the first support portion 60 is disposed toward the placement surface P side.
第１支持部６０の他端側６２と蓋部７０との間に、載置面Ｐと平行な直線状に第２可撓部６４が設けられている。蓋部７０は、第１支持部６０の他端側に、第１支持部６０に対して第２可撓部６４の位置で回動可能に接続されている。蓋部７０は、電子辞書１００の背面が第１支持部６０によって載置面Ｐに対して立掛支持されているときに、第２支持部４５と載置面Ｐとの間に介在可能に設けられている。また、蓋部７０は、保護ケース１０が電子辞書１００へ装着された状態で電子辞書１００の正面の少なくとも一部を覆う位置へ設置可能であり、かつ、第１支持部６０の他端側に回動可能に接続されている。蓋部７０の図１中上面側を第１の主面７１、下面を第２の主面と称する。 A second flexible part 64 is provided between the other end side 62 of the first support part 60 and the lid part 70 in a straight line parallel to the placement surface P. The lid part 70 is connected to the other end side of the first support part 60 so as to be rotatable with respect to the first support part 60 at the position of the second flexible part 64. The lid portion 70 can be interposed between the second support portion 45 and the placement surface P when the back surface of the electronic dictionary 100 is supported by the first support portion 60 against the placement surface P. Is provided. The lid 70 can be installed at a position that covers at least a part of the front surface of the electronic dictionary 100 in a state where the protective case 10 is attached to the electronic dictionary 100, and on the other end side of the first support unit 60. It is connected so that it can rotate. The upper surface side of the lid portion 70 in FIG. 1 is referred to as a first main surface 71 and the lower surface is referred to as a second main surface.
また、図３に示すように、第１支持部６０を第１可撓部６３および第２可撓部６４の位置で折曲させず、下縁壁部４２に沿って第２可撓部６４を巻き付けて、蓋部７０をケース本体２０の正面側に位置させると、第１の主面７１は液晶表示パネル１２０と対向する。これにより、蓋部７０により、液晶表示パネル１２０を保護する。なお、蓋部７０の先端７０ａは、スピーカ１３０を塞がない寸法に設定されている。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the first support portion 60 is not bent at the positions of the first flexible portion 63 and the second flexible portion 64, and the second flexible portion 64 is along the lower edge wall portion 42. When the lid 70 is positioned on the front side of the case body 20, the first main surface 71 faces the liquid crystal display panel 120. Thereby, the liquid crystal display panel 120 is protected by the lid 70. The tip 70a of the lid 70 is set to a size that does not block the speaker 130.
保護ケース１０が電子辞書１００へ装着された状態で、蓋部７０を電子辞書１００の正面に対向させて配置させた際、第１支持部６０は、電子辞書１００の側面視において背面部３０に重なり合う寸法である。 When the protective case 10 is attached to the electronic dictionary 100 and the lid 70 is disposed to face the front of the electronic dictionary 100, the first support unit 60 is placed on the back surface 30 in a side view of the electronic dictionary 100. Overlapping dimensions.
このように構成された保護ケース１０によれば、収納・保護と立掛支持（スタンド）を選択的に行うことができる。すなわち、図１に示すような立掛支持を行う場合、第１可撓部６３および第２可撓部６４を適切に回動させることで、ケース本体２０に嵌合された電子辞書１００の背面が第１支持部６０によって載置面Ｐに対して支持される。また、ケース本体２０および電子辞書１００の自重によってケース本体２０の第２支持部４５が蓋部７０側へと付勢されることで、第２支持部４５の平面状の下面が蓋部７０の第１の主面７１に当接する状態になり、ひいては、第２支持部４５の平面状の下面が載置面Ｐに平行に配置される。つまり、第２支持部４５は、載置面Ｐ側の面が平面状に形成された平面状部を有し、電子辞書１００を支持するときに、電子辞書１００の下端部と載置面Ｐとの間に介在して、前記平面状部の載置面Ｐ側の面が載置面Ｐと略平行になるように電子辞書１００を支持する。これにより、電子辞書１００は、載置面Ｐに対して立掛支持されているときに、当該載置面Ｐに対する角度が一定に保持される。 According to the protective case 10 configured as described above, storage / protection and standing support (stand) can be selectively performed. That is, when performing the standing support as shown in FIG. 1, the back surface of the electronic dictionary 100 fitted to the case body 20 by appropriately rotating the first flexible portion 63 and the second flexible portion 64. Is supported with respect to the mounting surface P by the first support part 60. In addition, the second lower support portion 45 of the case main body 20 is biased toward the lid portion 70 by the weight of the case main body 20 and the electronic dictionary 100, so that the planar lower surface of the second support portion 45 is in contact with the lid portion 70. The first main surface 71 is brought into contact with the first main surface 71. As a result, the planar lower surface of the second support portion 45 is arranged in parallel to the placement surface P. That is, the second support part 45 has a planar part in which the surface on the placement surface P side is formed in a planar shape, and when supporting the electronic dictionary 100, the lower end part of the electronic dictionary 100 and the placement surface P. The electronic dictionary 100 is supported so that the surface on the mounting surface P side of the planar portion is substantially parallel to the mounting surface P. As a result, when the electronic dictionary 100 is supported in a standing manner with respect to the placement surface P, the angle with respect to the placement surface P is held constant.
また、電子辞書１００の重心Ｇは、第１支持部６０の表面を通る平面よりも下側にある、即ち、電子辞書１００の重心Ｇは、第１支持部６０の表面を通る平面と載置面Ｐがなす鋭角の範囲に存在するため、保護ケース１０によって電子辞書１００を立掛支持したときに安定する。 Further, the center of gravity G of the electronic dictionary 100 is below the plane passing through the surface of the first support unit 60, that is, the center of gravity G of the electronic dictionary 100 is placed on the plane passing through the surface of the first support unit 60. Since it exists in the range of the acute angle which the surface P makes, when the electronic dictionary 100 is supported by standing by the protective case 10, it is stabilized.
一方、収納時においては、第１可撓部６３および第２可撓部６４を、ケース本体２０の下端面に沿って第２可撓部６４を巻き付ける。そのようにして、保護ケース１０が電子辞書１００へ装着された状態で、蓋部７０を電子辞書１００の正面に対向させて配置させた際、第２可撓部６４のうち電子辞書１００に対向する少なくとも一部が、電子辞書１００の下端部１１１に当接する。これにより、蓋部７０は液晶表示パネル１２０面上に積層されて、保護が可能となる。また、背面部３０と第１支持部６０の厚さ、および、下縁壁部４２と第２可撓部６４の厚さはそれぞれほぼ同じ厚さとなっているため、ケース本体２０の側面視では、第１支持部６０の第１可撓部６３と第２可撓部６４との間の部分は背面部３０に隠れて見えなくなり、第２可撓部６４は下縁壁部４２に隠れて見えなくなる。したがって、見栄えが良く、また、ケース本体２０の図３中上下方向において寸法が大きくなることがないため、コンパクトな概観となる。 On the other hand, during storage, the first flexible portion 63 and the second flexible portion 64 are wound around the second flexible portion 64 along the lower end surface of the case body 20. In this way, when the lid 70 is arranged to face the front of the electronic dictionary 100 with the protective case 10 attached to the electronic dictionary 100, the second flexible portion 64 faces the electronic dictionary 100. At least a part of the contact comes into contact with the lower end 111 of the electronic dictionary 100. Thereby, the cover part 70 is laminated | stacked on the liquid crystal display panel 120 surface, and protection is attained. Further, since the thickness of the back surface portion 30 and the first support portion 60 and the thickness of the lower edge wall portion 42 and the second flexible portion 64 are substantially the same, respectively, in the side view of the case body 20 The part between the first flexible part 63 and the second flexible part 64 of the first support part 60 is hidden behind the back part 30 and the second flexible part 64 is hidden behind the lower edge wall part 42. Become invisible. Therefore, the appearance is good, and the size does not increase in the vertical direction in FIG.
図９は変形例に係る保護ケース１０Ａを示す背面図である。なお、図９において図１〜図８と同一機能部分には同一符号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。保護ケース１０Ａにおいては、開口部３１の代わりに一対の開口部３１Ａが設けられたケース本体２０Ａを有し、可動支持板５０の代わりに２列の可動支持板５０Ａを有し、第１支持部６０の代わりに、一対の第１支持部６０Ａが設けられている。これら一対の第１支持部６０Ａは一対の開口部３１Ａに挿入される、一対の開口部３１Ａの開口面積の合計は、開口部３１の開口面積よりも小さい。 FIG. 9 is a rear view showing a protective case 10A according to a modification. In FIG. 9, the same functional parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. The protective case 10 </ b> A has a case body 20 </ b> A provided with a pair of openings 31 </ b> A instead of the openings 31, has two rows of movable support plates 50 </ b> A instead of the movable support plates 50, and has a first support portion Instead of 60, a pair of first support portions 60A is provided. The pair of first support portions 60 </ b> A is inserted into the pair of opening portions 31 </ b> A, and the total opening area of the pair of opening portions 31 </ b> A is smaller than the opening area of the opening portion 31.
このように形成された保護ケース１０Ａにあっては、ケース本体２０Ａが立掛支持された状態において、ケース本体２０よりも重心が低くなるため、安定性を向上させることができる。 In the protective case 10A formed in this manner, the center of gravity is lower than that of the case body 20 in a state where the case body 20A is supported in a standing manner, and thus the stability can be improved.
なお、本発明は前記実施の形態に限定されるものではない。例えば、上述した例では、第２支持部４５と載置面Ｐとの間には蓋部７０が設けられているが、蓋部７０を省略して、載置面Ｐ上に第２支持部４５を直接載置させるようにしてもよい。また、上述した例では、電子辞書１００の背面が第１支持部６０によって載置面Ｐに対して支持されていて、かつ、第２支持部４５を蓋部７０の中央部に当接させているが、先端部７０ａに当接させた場合に、電子辞書１００の載置面Ｐに対する角度が、他の角度に保持させるように寸法を設定してもよい。また、第２支持部４５の表面に細かい凹凸を形成してもよい。この場合、凹凸の凸部の先端部の高さは同じになるように形成することで、第２支持部４５の下面（凸部の先端部をつなぐ仮想的な面）が平面状になるようにしてよい。これらの凹凸によって、第２支持部４５の下面と蓋部７０の第１の主面７１または載置面Ｐとの間の摩擦力を増大することができる。特に、蓋部７０の第１の主面７１または載置面Ｐが細かい凹凸を有する場合には、摩擦力を増大させる効果が大きい。さらに、機器として正面に液晶表示パネルを有する電子辞書を例示したが、携帯電話等の携帯端末や、液晶表示パネルが無いラジオ等であっても、同様に適用できるのは勿論である。この他、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々変形実施可能であるのは勿論である。 The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the example described above, the lid portion 70 is provided between the second support portion 45 and the placement surface P, but the lid portion 70 is omitted and the second support portion is placed on the placement surface P. You may make it mount 45 directly. In the example described above, the back surface of the electronic dictionary 100 is supported by the first support portion 60 with respect to the placement surface P, and the second support portion 45 is brought into contact with the center portion of the lid portion 70. However, the dimensions may be set so that the angle with respect to the placement surface P of the electronic dictionary 100 is held at another angle when it is brought into contact with the tip 70a. Further, fine irregularities may be formed on the surface of the second support portion 45. In this case, the lower surface of the second support portion 45 (the virtual surface connecting the tip portions of the protrusions) is planar by forming the heights of the tip portions of the uneven protrusions to be the same. You can do it. By these unevenness | corrugations, the frictional force between the lower surface of the 2nd support part 45 and the 1st main surface 71 or the mounting surface P of the cover part 70 can be increased. In particular, when the first main surface 71 or the mounting surface P of the lid 70 has fine irregularities, the effect of increasing the frictional force is great. Furthermore, although an electronic dictionary having a liquid crystal display panel on the front is illustrated as an apparatus, it is needless to say that the present invention can be similarly applied to a portable terminal such as a mobile phone or a radio without a liquid crystal display panel. Of course, various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
