Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a sliding device that engages and slides with rails that are opposed at almost right angles to a portion cut across an arbitrary surface of a device body and the surface next to the surface. Possible lid structures, in particular, the sliding lid structure of equipment that covers the IC card insertion part provided in the cutout part of thin type electronic equipment, and other switch operation parts. .

[Prior art] ICs are used as storage media for electronic devices that have become significantly thinner in recent years.
Cards are becoming more widely used. Conventionally, the insertion slot for such a storage medium is of the type that is exposed as it is and is not covered, as shown in FIG. 4, or is covered with a lid 54 that can be rotated to open and close, as shown in FIG. The types that are used are generally known. 41st! The type shown in I has a hole 43 in the lower side of the device body 41 into which an IC card can be inserted.
Generally, a concave shape 42 having a shape is provided, and a button 44 for ejecting an IC cart is similarly arranged next to the IC card insertion hole 43. Furthermore, the type shown in FIG.
The IC card is inserted into the hole 53, and the recess 52 is usually covered by a lid 54 which is connected to the lower surface of the main body of the device by a hinge part 5G made of a bottle or the like and can be rotated to open and close.

The cover body 54 prevents foreign objects from entering through the IC card insertion hole 53 or other gaps.

[Problem H to be solved by the invention] In the structure shown in FIG. 4 above, since there is always a hole for inserting an IC card on the exterior,
Foreign matter etc. can easily enter and cause a malfunction. In addition, since the holes are clearly exposed on the outside, the shape is unpleasant in terms of design.

Furthermore, in the structure shown in Fig. 5, in order to make the electronic device thinner, it is effective to arrange the IC card insertion part as close to the bottom surface as possible, so that there is no space for the fingers to insert and remove the IC card. It is necessary to make a cut all the way to the bottom side,
In order to open the lid 54, the lid has a shape that rotates and protrudes from the bottom surface of the device, so it is impossible to open the lid 54 while it is installed on a desk. , in order to open it, the device had to be lifted once. Furthermore, since the shape of the lid component is required to be smaller and thinner, there is a tendency to use a bottle that connects the lid 54 and the device main body 51 with a thin shaft and a small size, making the assembly work more difficult. .

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and provides a structure that prevents the intrusion of dust, foreign matter, etc., and allows the lid to be opened and closed by sliding when installed on a desk, and allows insertion of an IC card, etc. The purpose is to

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides an 8! having a cutout along at least one side. In a device comprising a container main body and a lid slidably attached to the notch, a concave groove rail or a convex rail disposed substantially perpendicularly to each of the notch and the lid. The lid is slidably attached to the notch by providing a shaped guide rail and engaging the groove rail and the guide rule; At least one part of the rail is provided with a stepped part where the width of the groove rail changes, and the convex guide rail is provided with a protrusion for abutting against the stepped part, thereby serving as a mechanism for preventing the lid from coming off. It is characterized by the presence of

[Examples] Examples according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Elements with the same reference numerals have the same functions, and therefore, redundant explanations will be omitted.

1, 2, and 3 show the sliding M structure of the device according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 shows the mounting of the sliding lid 12 and the sliding direction 18, FIG. 2 shows the sliding lid 1
2 and the device main body 11 in an engaged state;
The figure shows, using a perspective view, a state in which the protrusion 18 abuts against the stepped portion 19 and prevents the sliding lid 12 from slipping off.

Cut portion 1 extending over the side and bottom surface of the device body 11
3 is provided with a hole 14 for inserting an IC card and a button 15 for ejecting the card.

The sliding lid 12 forms part of the external appearance of the side and bottom surfaces of the device main body 11 in order to cover the cutout 13, and
Regardless of whether a card is inserted or not, a convex rail F similarly provided on the sliding lid 12 is moved in the direction of the arrow 18 to the full rail 16 provided opposite to the main body 11 of the device, as shown in FIG. It engages and slides to open and close without coming off. The sliding lid 12 can be opened and closed while the device main body 11 is placed on the desk, and once the device main body 11 is lifted, the IC can be opened and closed.
There is no need for an operation such as inserting a card, and the card can be inserted in that state. The IC card insertion hole 1
4 is usually covered by the sliding lid 12, so that it is effective against dust, foreign matter, etc. that enter from the outside through the hole 14. Furthermore, if electromagnetic shielding treatment such as plating or conductive coating is applied to the sliding lid 12, harmful electromagnetic noise from the outside that enters the device through the hole 14 can be shielded, and electromagnetic noise generated from inside the device can be prevented from being transmitted to the outside. It is possible to prevent leakage.

A stepped portion 19 provided on a concave groove rail 16a provided on the device body 11 is provided at an arbitrary position, and a protrusion 18 provided on a convex guide rail 17a provided on the sliding lid 12 abuts the stepped portion 19. By being stopped, it serves to prevent the sliding lid 12 from coming off. By forming the projections 18 and the stepped portions 19 into each rail, it is possible to complete the slip-out prevention structure without affecting the external shape. In this case, similarly, the step portion 19 may be provided on both of the concave groove rails 16a and 161) arranged at approximately right angles, and the protrusion portion may be provided on the convex guide rails 17a and 17b. It also has an increasing effect.

Furthermore, by providing a click protrusion 20 on the main body 11 of the device and a click recess 21 on the sliding lid 12 at an arbitrary position, a clicking sound will be generated to notify the status when opening or closing, and the vibrations will be transmitted to the sliding lid 12. It can be equipped with a function to notify the finger touching the opening and closing to notify the end of opening and closing.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be made. The same function can be achieved by having the convex guide rail provided on the sliding lid on the device main body side, and having the concave groove rail provided on the device body on the sliding lid side. Furthermore, the sliding lid can be attached not only across the side and bottom surfaces of the device body, but also between the side and top surfaces, or between the side and side surfaces.
