DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a component having the same shape or a symmetrical shape on the front and back, and removably attached to a machine body or other components.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, it has become increasingly important to address environmental issues such as environmental pollution and effective use of resources. The parts were replaced when the surface became dirty or damaged due to use, and the used parts were discarded.

[0003]

As described above, conventionally used parts are often discarded without being reused, and even if they are reused, they are used parts that have been cleaned of dirt and the like. . Furthermore, when the machine was scrapped, the parts with dirty or damaged surfaces were discarded without being reused.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a component which can be easily reused.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a part which has the same shape or a symmetrical shape on both sides and which is bent along a corner of a machine body or other parts and which is removably attached to the corner. A bellows shape is formed at the corresponding position, and both sides can be used by turning over and attaching to the machine main body or other parts.

Furthermore, in order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a peelable surface protection member is provided on the back surface.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, an exterior cover 10 that straddles the side and back of the copying machine 2 is a component of the present embodiment. This exterior cover 10
Is composed of a side cover portion 11, a rear cover portion 12, and a bent portion 13 having a bellows formed therebetween. When the copying machine 2 is assembled, after assembling various components, copying is performed by a screw 14 at a substantially final stage. It is detachably attached to the machine 2. As shown in FIG. 2, the exterior cover 10 has a front surface 10a and a rear surface 10b formed symmetrically with respect to a horizontal line passing through a half position in the vertical width direction in the figure, and has front and rear screw holes 14a. Are the same. further,
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG.
0b, a surface protection sheet 15 removably attached
Is provided.

[0008] The outer cover 10 thus configured has a surface 1
0a becomes unusable due to dirt, scratches, etc.
4 is removed from the copying machine 2. And the exterior cover 1
0, the back surface 10b is turned upside down, the surface protection sheet 15 attached to the back surface 10b is peeled off, and then the copier 2
It can be reused by attaching it to. At this time, the outer cover 10 is provided with a bellows bent portion 13 at a position corresponding to a corner between the side surface and the back surface of the copying machine 2. Since the bent portion 13 can be bent in either left or right direction, the front surface 10a
Even if the bending direction is opposite to that of the back surface 10b, it is bent along the corner.

Thus, the outer cover 10 can use the front surface 10a and the back surface 10b, and the front surface 10a of the outer cover 10 can be used.
Even when the main body of the copying machine 2 used alone is discarded, if the outer cover 10 is collected, it can be mounted on another copying machine 2 using the back surface and reused.

[0010]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, even if a part is bent along the corner of the machine body or another part and is removably attached, a flexible bellows shape is formed at a position corresponding to the corner. It is formed and can be used upside down.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the peelable surface protection member is provided on the back surface, the back surface that can be reused during use can be prevented from being scratched or stained. When used, the parts look like new.
