Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent missing of a lid for opening part to expose battery containing part, etc., outwardly by supporting the lid that is prepared to open/ close the opening part on a main case body, on an elastic member prepared inside the main case body by a supporting axis so that it may be rotatable. CONSTITUTION:A lid 3 will rotate in the center of a supporting axis 8 against an elastic member 4 after the engaging of a hooking recessed part 18 and a hooking piece part 20 has been released. Then, when the lid 3 is rotated outwardly from a main case body l, it rotates by a first angle range (approx. 140 deg.) and is kept at the point where rotating force is lost because of the friction between the axis 8 and respective hollow holes 7, 11 and 12. Thus the batteries can be smoothly exchanged through an opening part 2. Furthermore, since the lid 3 is not dropped out from the body 1, there is no fear of missing it after the lid is opened from the part 2.

As described above, in the housing for electronic equipment according to the present invention, the opening provided in the body of the housing is formed so as to be capable of closing the cover, and the elastic member is disposed inside the body of the housing. The movably supported lid is rotated with respect to the elastic member to be maintained in a position where the opening is opened. At this time, the battery can be smoothly replaced through the opening.

Since the lid is not separated from the main body of the housing, there is no risk of loss when the opening is opened.

Further, even if the lid body receives a force which is further rotated beyond the rotatable range with respect to the elastic member,
Since the elastic member is elastically deformed, it is not deformed or damaged. At this time, the elastic deformation amount of the elastic member is small, and there is no fear that the elastic member is excessively deformed and cut.

Further, in the housing for electronic equipment according to the present invention, a support shaft portion is integrally formed on one end side portion of the elastic member so as to project, and the support shaft portion is formed on one side portion of the lid body. When the lid is rotatably supported by being fitted in the support hole, the number of parts can be reduced.
Manufacturing can be facilitated.

Furthermore, in this housing for electronic equipment, a latching claw portion is formed on the other end side portion of the elastic member, and the latching claw portion is latched on the ridge portion formed in the housing body portion. By thus preventing the elastic member from falling off the main body of the housing, the elastic member can be easily attached to the main body of the housing.

That is, according to the present invention, the lid of the opening for exposing the battery housing or the like to the outside is prevented from being lost, and the opening is prevented from being deformed or damaged. It is possible to provide a housing for an electronic device in which the lid can be sufficiently opened and the lid is maintained at the position where the opening is opened. The present invention can facilitate the assembly and manufacturing of such an electronic device housing.
