Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotating shaft 22 and the plurality of engaging protrusions 25 and 26 are engaged with each other, and the engaging member 27 which is fixed by the screw N and serves as a cover is provided. There is.

The engaging member 27 is formed so as to be able to accept the first arm portion 24B of the elastic member 24 at a position between the plurality of engaging protrusions 25 and 26, and is formed between the plurality of engaging protrusions 25 and 26. The position is the regulation portion 27A that regulates the movement of the first arm portion 24B.

Next, the state when the keyboard lid 10 is opened will be described in more detail.
As shown in FIG. 7, the guide groove 21 has a tip groove portion 21A extending downward in the vertical direction and a horizontal groove portion 21B extending from the tip groove portion 21A toward the rear side, and the horizontal groove portion 21. A guide recess 21BA is provided at a position slightly forward of the intermediate position in the front-rear direction of the 21B.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, when the keyboard lid 10 is closed, the front guide shaft 11B is located at the lower end of the tip groove 21A, and the rear guide shaft 12A is located at the lower end of the guide recess 21BA. doing.

In this state, the elastic member 24 is urged to pull the keyboard lid 10 to the rear side, and when the keyboard lid 10 is opened, the front guide shaft 11B is the guide groove 21 as shown in FIG. When the rear side of the tip groove portion 21A and the rear guide shaft 12A are moved to the rear side of the guide recess 21BA, respectively, the keyboard lid 10 starts to move to the rear side by the urging force of the elastic member 24.

Then, when the keyboard lid 10 moves to the rear side until the state shown in FIG. 4, the urging force of the elastic member 24 urges the keyboard lid 10 to the front side, but the weight of the rear lid 12 is the weight of the keyboard lid 10. As shown in FIG. 5, the keyboard lid 10 itself continues to move further to the rear side.

As the keyboard lid 10 moves to the rear side, the force of its own weight for moving the keyboard lid 10 to the rear side by the rear lid 12 and the like increases, but the force of its own weight increases. As the size increases, the urging force of the elastic member 24 for urging the keyboard lid 10 to the front side also increases, so that the backward movement of the keyboard lid 10 can be smoothly performed at a substantially constant speed. There is.

Then, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guide groove 21 includes an ascending inclined portion 21C on the rear side of the guide groove 21 (rear side of the horizontal groove portion 21B), and as shown in FIG. 6, the guide groove 21 includes an ascending inclined portion 21C. When the keyboard lid 10 is opened, the rear guide shaft 12A climbs the ascending inclined portion 21C, so that the momentum when the keyboard lid 10 is stored in the musical instrument case is attenuated.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the guide groove 21 (horizontal groove portion 21B) includes the downward inclined portion 21D on the rear side of the apex of the upward inclined portion 21C, and the keyboard lid 10 is completely opened. When the rear guide shaft 12A is located rearward from the apex of the ascending inclined portion 21C, the keyboard lid 10 is prevented from moving in the closing direction by itself.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the pinion gear or the like is not used for the mechanism for opening and closing the keyboard lid 10, the number of parts can be significantly reduced, and the rotating shaft 22 can be used for maintenance. Since it is only necessary to apply grease to (see Fig. 7), workability during maintenance is greatly improved.

Further, when the keyboard lid 10 is opened, the front guide shaft 11B moves to the rear side of the tip groove portion 21A in the guide groove 21, and the rear guide shaft 12A moves to the rear side of the guide recess 21BA, respectively, and then the elasticity of the elastic member 24. Since the keyboard lid 10 is automatically stored in the musical instrument case by the force and the load of the keyboard lid 10, the keyboard lid 10 can be easily opened.

In order to suppress the moving noise of the keyboard lid 10 when the keyboard lid 10 is opened, the front guide shaft 11B and the front guide shaft 11B and the keyboard lid 10 automatically move when the keyboard lid 10 is automatically moved by the elastic force of the elastic member 24 and the load of the keyboard lid 10. In the range of the guide groove 21 in which the rear guide shaft 12A moves, it is preferable to use the horizontal groove portion 21B so as not to provide a steep ascending and descending inclination.

Further, it is preferable to adjust the elastic force of the elastic member 24 so that the keyboard lid 10 moves at a substantially constant speed in consideration of the load of the keyboard lid 10 and the like.

Therefore, after the keyboard lid 10 starts to move automatically, the force (pulling force) applied to the opening side of the keyboard lid 10 is 0.8 kgf or less, and the average pulling force (average value) when the keyboard lid 10 is moved. It is preferable to set the elastic force of the elastic member 24 so that the fluctuation range of the force applied to the opening side of the keyboard lid 10 is within about ± 0.4 kgf.

By doing so, the speed at which the keyboard lid 10 opens is not too fast, so that moving noise and the like can be suppressed, and since it is not too slow, the time required for the keyboard lid 10 to open becomes too long. Since the opening speed of the keyboard lid 10 is almost constant, the appearance when the keyboard lid 10 is opened can be improved.

By the way, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, in the bent portion for connecting to the horizontal groove portion 21B on the rear side of the tip groove portion 21A, the step portion over which the front guide shaft 11B gets over when the keyboard lid 10 is opened. A 21AA is provided, and if the user lifts the keyboard lid 10 so as to get over the step 21AA, the keyboard lid 10 is automatically moved to open thereafter.

When the step portion 21AA is provided in this way, when the keyboard lid 10 is opened, when the front guide shaft 11B gets over the step portion 21AA, the tip groove portion 21A is provided so as not to put a load on the user. It is preferable to arrange an elastic member that biases the front guide shaft 11B upward at the lower end portion.

If such an elastic member is arranged, the impact when closing the keyboard lid 10 is also absorbed, so that the keyboard lid 10 can be closed quietly.
