【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下本発明の実施の形態について、図1から図5を用いて説明する。
【0015】
(実施の形態1)
図1は本発明の第1の実施の形態における蓋開閉装置の組立斜視図、図2は一部破断して示す部分平面図、図3(a)は図2のA−A断面図、同(b)は図2のB−B断面図、同(c)は図2のC−C断面図、図4は蓋の閉蓋直前後の状態の断面図、図5は蓋を完全に解放した状態の平面図を示している。
【0016】
図1から図5において、1は機器本体、2は蓋であり、ここで機器本体1は仮想線で示すもう一方の本体1aと共に、全体として薄型の携帯用の機器本体を構成し、蓋2は例えば電池収納部用の蓋である。Dは電池収納部を示し、機器本体1の両側に有している。
【0017】
蓋2は、その幅が機器本体1と同等の幅を有し、先端に回動軸部(図2,図3参照)を有する一対のアーム3を設け、内面におけるアーム3と反対側後方位置には蓋2の後方ロック部となる爪4を設け、内面の先端近傍にはスイッチ操作部となるリブ5を、また先端中央部には蓋2のスライド方向固定用の固定リブ6と蓋2の前方ロック部となる保持用の保持リブ7を設け、両側には蓋2のスライド時の位置決め用ガイドリブ8を設けている。アーム3は、その側面がU字状に形成され、先端に当該アーム3の回動軸3aを一対のアームの内方に突出形成し、U字状の凹部3bと後部の傾斜基端部3cを形成している。また、爪4は、ほぼ45度の傾斜をもって形成し、その先端4aが前方に傾斜され、内部側斜面4bがロック用の係合部となるものである。
【0018】
一方、機器本体1は、前述の蓋2に設けた種々の形状に対応して、アーム3を挿入し回動支持するアーム回動支持部となる支持孔9と、爪4を保持する係合部10と、スイッチ操作用リブ5の挿入用スリット11と、固定リブ6を係合するための凸リブ12及び保持リブ7の挿入用の孔13と、ガイドリブ8を摺動ガイドするガイド部としての段部14と、支持孔9の一方の側部に形成した弾性リブ15を一体的に設けている。また、アーム3の先端の回動軸を保持するアーム保持部となる球面状の凸部16を、機器本体1に一体に設けられたリブ16aに形成している。
【0019】
支持孔9は、入り口にアーム3の挿入時のガイドとなる傾斜部9aを設けると共に、その入り口に続く後端はアーム3のスライド時に傾斜基端部3cが当接するストッパ部9bとし、更に機器本体1の端縁1bの内部に続く空間部9cを有する。したがって、アーム3を支持孔9に挿入する場合は、左右は弾性リブ15と機器本体1の端縁1bとの範囲H1と、前後は機器本体1の他の端縁1cとストッパ9bとの範囲H2によって形成される孔(図2(b)参照)に挿入されることとなる。ここで、アーム3の幅は、範囲H1とほぼ同等で容易にスライドできる寸法に構成し、回動軸3aの突出部が余分となるので、アーム3を挿入する際には、回動軸3aの突出分だけ左右の弾性リブ15をそれぞれ外方に変形させることにより、行うことができる。
【0020】
係合部10は、爪4を挿入する孔10aと、爪4内部側斜面4bが係止される端縁10bと、ほぼ45度の傾斜をもって形成された傾斜部10cとを設けている。そして、蓋2の閉蓋状態では図3(a)に示すように爪4内部側斜面4bが係合部10の端縁10bに係合保持されている。そして、開蓋時に蓋2を後方にスライドさせることにより、図4に示すように係合を外すことができる。
【0021】
機器本体1には、スイッチ17を実装した基板18が取付けてあり、スイッチ17はスリット11に対応する位置に配置され、蓋2の閉蓋時にスイッチ操作用リブ5がスリット11を貫通して当該スイッチ17が操作された状態となるようになっている。また、蓋2の閉蓋状態では、図3(a)に示すように、基板18と機器本体1の壁面との間に、蓋2のアーム3が狭持されている構成となっている。
【0022】
また、凸リブ12は、図3(b)に示すように、蓋2の閉蓋時に固定リブ6が係合されて、当該蓋2の後方への移動を阻止するものであり、孔13に挿入された蓋2の保持リブ7は機器本体1の端部1dにおいて蓋2の上方への移動を阻止するものである。
【0023】
ここで、閉蓋時には、図3(b)に示すように、蓋2の後端縁2aは機器本体1の後部に形成した傾斜縁部1eに当接され、閉蓋状態が保持されている。この状態から開蓋するには、蓋2の先端部の固定リブ6近傍の上面に形成した凹凸部又は粗面部よりなる蓋操作部2bを指先で押しながら後方にスライドするものである。
【0024】
以上のように構成された蓋開閉装置について、以下、その動作について説明する。まず、閉蓋状態では、蓋2のアーム3は、機器本体1と基板18に狭持されている。それと共に、爪4の係合部10への係合による後方のロックと、保持リブ7の機器本体1端部1dへの係合による前方のロックとにより浮き方向の保持を行う。また、固定リブ6と凸リブ12の係合と、アーム3の回動軸3aとアーム保持部k凸部16の係合により、スライド方向の保持を行っている。これにより、基板18上に実装されているスイッチ17のレバーを、蓋2に設けた操作リブ5が、機器本体1上のスリット11を通して押圧することができる。この閉蓋状態が、図3に示す各図の状態である。
【0025】
つぎに、蓋2を後方にスライドさせることにより、半開状態にしたものが、図4に示すスライド開状態である。この状態は、閉蓋状態から、蓋2を手動にて蓋2の操作部2bを後方に、蓋2のガイドリブ8をガイド部としての段部14に添って摺動ガイドすることにより行うものである。すなわち、図4に示す矢印イの方向に移動させることにより閉蓋状態からスライド開状態に、また矢印ロの方向に移動させることによりスライド開状態から閉蓋状態に変化する。またその際、蓋2の爪4を有する後方は、係合部10の傾斜部10c及び機器本体1の傾斜縁部1eにより45度方向(すなわち開蓋時は矢印ハ方向、閉蓋時は矢印ニ方向)に移動変化し、蓋2の先端部ではアーム3のU字状部の後部の傾斜基端部3cがストッパ9bに当接する位置までスライド移動変化する。これにより、閉蓋時に操作状態にあった基板18上のスイッチ17は、操作リブ5が移動することにより操作状態が解除され、このスライド開状態で電気的検出を行うことができ、すなわち蓋2の完全な開蓋状態に変化する前に検出可能となる。
【0026】
さらに、図5に示す完全開蓋状態は、前述の図4に示すスライド開状態から、アーム3の先端の回動軸3a部分を支点として回転させることにより行うことができる。その際、アーム回動支持部を構成する支持孔9部分において、アーム3先端の回動軸3aが空間部9cで機器本体1の端縁1bから外れることなく、図5に示す矢印ホ方向に回動されることにより、蓋2の先端縁2cが機器本体1上面に当り、さらに回動させることにより蓋2の先端縁2cが支点となり、回動軸3aが機器本体1の端縁1bの内面に当るまで開くことができ、その状態が図5に示す状態である。この状態で、電池等の物体を意識的に取出す時に十分な開口空間を確保することができる。この状態から、図4に示すスライド開状態に戻すには、蓋2を矢印ヘ方向に回動させることにより行う。
【0027】
つぎに、この図5に示す完全開蓋状態において、更に、矢印ホ方向に力を加えた場合、機器本体1に一体的に設けた弾性リブ15と回転アーム3が共に弾性変化することにより、アーム3の回動軸3の凸部が機器本体1の端縁1bから外れて、機器本体1及び蓋2全体の破損を防止することができる。
【0028】
以上のように本実施形態によれば、内部の物体を意識的に取出す時には十分な開口空間を確保し、急激に内部の物体が脱落するのを防止し、また無意識に取出すことを防止すると共に、電気的な開閉検出を可能とし、なお且つ多少の破壊力では破損し無い、少ない部品で安価に構成される蓋開閉装置とすることができるものである。
【0029】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、内部の物体を意識的に取出す時には十分な開口空間を確保し、急激に内部の物体が脱落するのを防止し、また無意識に取出すことを防止すると共に、少ない部品で安価に構成され、機器本体の小型化、薄型化を可能にし、容易に蓋を開閉したり脱落したりすることを防止できる蓋開閉装置が得られるという有利な効果が得られる。
