Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention requires an optional user to provide a connection window for an option or the like having a lid integrally formed in advance in a case of an electronic device or the like. The present invention relates to an optional connection window lid mechanism in which the lid is cut off in accordance with the above.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, this type of optional connection window lid mechanism is configured as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 is an electronic device housing, 2 is a lower case of the electronic device, and 3 is an optional connection window with a lid formed in advance on the lower case 2.

FIG. 6 shows details of this optional connection window, 11 is a lid arranged so as to fill most of the window 3, 12
Is a plurality of ribs that connect the lid 11 and the case 2 around the window. The lid 12 holds the lid 11 on the case 2. The case 2, the lid 11 and the rib 12 are integrally manufactured by, for example, plastic molding, and their outer surfaces are flush with each other. Therefore, a person who uses the option can cut the rib 12 with a nipper or the like at any time, whereby the lid 11 is removed, the window 3 is completed, and the option can be connected.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional structure as described above, the rib of the nipper when the rib 12 is cut is formed so as to easily enter the gap between the case 2 and the lid 11. Open both sides of 12 wide,
In addition, it was necessary to widen the gap width. Furthermore, the blade of the nipper must be inserted into the inside of the device to cut the rib 12, which may damage the inside of the device.

The present invention solves such conventional problems, and it is not necessary to insert the blade of the nipper into the inside of the device at the time of cutting the rib, and therefore the gap between the case and the lid can be narrowed, and the device can be reduced. An object is to provide an optional connection window cover mechanism that does not damage the inside.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, a plurality of ribs that connect a lid that fills most of the option connection window and a case around the window are formed so as to protrude from the outer surface of the lid or the like. It was done.

(Operation) According to this configuration, when removing the lid, the blade of the nipper is moved in a direction parallel to the outer surface of the lid or the like to cut the protruding rib, so that the gap between the case and the lid is removed. Does not need to be wide and does not damage the inside of the device.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. First
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a housing of an electronic device, 2 is a lower case of the electronic device, and 3 is an optional connection window with a lid formed in advance on the lower case 2.

2 and 3 show the details of the option connection window, in which 4 is a lid arranged to fill most of the window 3, 5 is the lid 4 and the case 2 around the window. The rib 4 holds the lid 4 on the case 2 with a plurality of ribs connecting the and. The case 2, the lid 4 and the rib 5 are integrally formed by, for example, plastic molding, and the outer surfaces of the case 2 and the lid 4 are flush with each other. The present invention is characterized in that the rib 5 is provided so as to project from the outer surface of the lid 4 or the like as shown in FIG.

Therefore, when the person using the option cuts the rib 5 with a nipper or the like, as shown in FIG.
If the cutting surface 6 is cut between the inner surface 5a of the rib 5 and the protruding portion 4a, the lid 4 is cut off and removed,
The window 3 opens and options can be connected.

In the present embodiment configured as described above, since the blade of the nipper that cuts the rib 5 is operated only outside the outer surfaces of the case 2 and the lid 4, it is not necessary to insert it into the device, and thus the case It is not necessary to widen the gap between 2 and the lid 4, and the inside of the device is not damaged.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the gap between the case and the lid can be narrowed, which is preferable in appearance and can prevent dust and the like from entering. Also,
There are advantages that the ribs can be easily cut and the inside of the device is not damaged.
