[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

This invention relates to a drip-proof cabinet in which a waterproof packing is arranged between cabinets to prevent dust and water from splashing on a cabinet of an electronic device such as a cassette tape recorder. About.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When audio equipment such as portable radios and cassette tape recorders is used outdoors, particularly in places where the environment is severe, such as ski resorts and beaches, dust and water droplets are likely to be applied to the cabinet of the audio equipment. Under circumstances. In order to prevent the dust and water droplets from splashing, a substantially hermetic drip-proof cabinet having a waterproof packing disposed between the cabinets may be used.

An example of a conventional drip-proof cabinet will be described with reference to FIG.

A carry case 20 for storing audio equipment shown in FIG. 4 is used for carrying a portable cassette tape recorder (not shown), and has a rectangular parallelepiped first cabinet having substantially the same shape as the cassette tape recorder. 21 and a second cabinet 22.

[0005] The first cabinet 21 and the second cabinet 22 are formed of a resin such as plastic, and waterproof packing 23 is attached between the cabinets so that water droplets and the like do not enter the inside. Both are combined.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, the second cabinet 22 is hinged to the first cabinet 21 by a hinge 26 or the like.
The cassette tape recorder 30 can be easily stored.

On the side of the first cabinet 21, an operation switch 30 of the stored cassette tape recorder 30 is provided.
a, rubber switch cover 2 at the position corresponding to 30b
4 is attached and drip-proof measures are taken.

With the above configuration, the cassette tape recorder 30 stored in the carry case 20
To prevent dust and water drops from splashing on the surface.

[0009]

By the way, the carry case 20 has a cassette tape recorder 30 stored in the carry case 20 for the purpose of listening with a headphone (not shown) outside the case 20, for example. , FIG.
As shown in (a), a through hole 25 through which the headphone plug 27 is inserted is generally provided.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 6B, the headphone plug 2 is inserted through the through hole 25 of the carry case 20.
7 is connected to the cassette tape recorder 30 stored in the case 20. At this time, since the headphone plug 27 itself substantially closes the through hole 25, there is no particular problem in drip-proof.

However, when the headphone plug 27 shown in FIG. 6A is not inserted into the through hole 25, the conventional carry case 20 does not take any drip-proof measures for the through hole 25. However, it was hard to say that it had fulfilled its function sufficiently as a drip-proof cabinet.

Therefore, the present invention is to provide a drip-proof cabinet taking into account such conventional problems.

[0013]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present invention comprises at least a first cabinet and a second cabinet, and a waterproof packing is arranged between the first and second cabinets. A drip-proof cabinet, wherein a closing portion for closing an exposed through hole formed in the cabinet is formed integrally with the waterproof packing, and when the exposed through hole is closed with the closing portion, the waterproof packing and The closing portion does not project from the cabinet.

[0014]

As shown in FIG. 1, a through hole 25 penetrating from the inside to the outside of the cabinet is closed by a closing portion 40 formed integrally with the waterproof packing 13. By doing so, dust and water drops can be reliably prevented from being applied to the cassette tape recorder 30 stored in the carry case 10.

[0015]

Next, an embodiment of a drip-proof cabinet according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a carry case 10 for accommodating an audio equipment as an example of a drip-proof cabinet according to the present invention. The same components as those in FIG.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a carry case for storing audio equipment. Reference numeral 13 denotes a waterproof packing provided between the first cabinet 21 and the second cabinet 22. As shown in FIG. 2, the waterproof packing 13 is integrally formed with a protruding closing portion 40 for closing the through hole 25 penetrating from the inside of the cabinet to the outside. As shown in FIG. 2, the protruding closing portion 40 is a rod-shaped connecting portion 40a.
And a projection 40b protruding inward at a predetermined position near the distal end of the connecting portion 40a.
As shown in FIG. 2, b has substantially the same diameter as the through-hole 25 and is formed so as to have a projection length substantially the same thickness as the through-hole 25.

The drip-proof cabinet according to the present invention is configured as described above.

Therefore, when the headphone plug 27 is not inserted into the through hole 25 of the carry case 10 as shown in FIG.
Ob closes the through-hole 25, so that it can sufficiently function as a drip-proof cabinet. At this time, the connecting portion 40a of the closing portion 40 does not protrude from the outer surfaces of the first cabinet 21 and the second cabinet 22 and is, for example, a flat surface substantially equal to the outer surface. It is possible to prevent the protrusion 40b from being detached from the through hole 25 by hooking on a crab.

When the headphone plug 27 is connected to the cassette tape recorder 30 stored in the case 10 through the through hole 25 of the carry case 10, FIG.
In the state shown in FIG.
0 is lifted upward, and the plug 27 is inserted into the through hole 25 as shown in FIG. In this case, as in the conventional case, the headphone plug 27 itself substantially closes the through hole 25, so that there is no particular problem in drip-proof.

In the above, the case where the present invention is applied to a carry case for storing audio equipment has been described as an embodiment.
The present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and the present invention can be applied to a cabinet of the audio equipment itself. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to audio equipment but also to various other devices.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the closing portion for closing the exposed through-hole formed in the cabinet is provided on the waterproof packing disposed between the first cabinet and the second cabinet. With a simple structure of being integrally formed, the function as a drip-proof cabinet can be reliably achieved. Further, since the closing part is formed integrally with the waterproof packing, assembly can be facilitated, and problems such as losing the closing part when the closing part is separately provided can be prevented. Further, when the exposed through hole is closed by the closing portion, the closing portion does not protrude from the cabinet, so that it is possible to prevent the closing portion from being accidentally removed from the exposed through hole.
