[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a lid for a small electronic device. Here, the small electronic device includes, for example, a personal computer, a word processor, a tape recorder, and a liquid crystal television, but it can be widely applied as long as it is a small electronic device having a lid.

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, when assembling a lid in a small electronic device, first, a sliding member (17), a locking member (18) and a coil spring (19) are locked in a lower member (21b). The upper member (21a) is mounted on the case (20) while the locking member (18) penetrates through the upper member groove (25) for assembly. By sliding the slide (24) integrated with the sliding member (17) in the lateral direction, the locking member (18) is moved to engage with the groove (not shown) of the main body, and the lid body (21) is locked to the main body (not shown). Usually, the locking member (18), the sliding member (17), and the coil spring (19) are housed in the lock case (20), and then the locking member (18) is inserted into the upper member groove (25) as shown in FIG. The sliding member (17) pops out from the lock case (20) due to the repulsive force of the coil spring (19) or the locking member (18) is simply covered by covering the upper member (21a) with the lower member (21b). The device is designed so that the position does not shift. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, a cover (22) is used to prevent the sliding member (17) in the lock case (20) and the coil spring (19) from protruding from the lock case (20), and a fastening member such as a screw. The lock case (20) is capped at (23).

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the assembling work of the lid, the sliding member (17), the locking member (18), the coil spring (19) pop out from the lock case (20) during the assembly, or the position of the locking member (18) is displaced. Even if the upper member (21a) is covered, when the slide (24) is moved in the lateral direction, the locking member (18) interferes with the slide opening (25), and the slide member (18) smoothly moves. Sometimes it didn't work. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the locking member (18), the sliding member (17) and the coil spring (19) pop out from the lock case (20) during the assembly work, and the position of the locking member (18) is increased. The cover (22) must be manufactured to prevent slippage. That is, there is a drawback that extra work and extra parts are required for assembling the lid body (21). The present invention has been made to solve these problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A sliding member biased in a horizontal direction by an elastic member between an upper member and a lower member of the lid member, and a locking member which engages with the sliding member and penetrates an elongated hole of the lower member are slidably held. .

【Example】

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a lid of a small electronic mechanism having a plurality of lock mechanisms. The slide (1) on the front surface of the lid (5) is moved, and the locking member (2) is operated to engage with the groove (4) provided in the main body (3) to open the lid (5). It is opening and closing. The lid (5) is composed of an upper member (5a) and a lower member (5b), and the assembling work is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. In FIG. 3, a coil spring (7) is incorporated in the sliding member (6), and a storage compartment (8) for housing the engaging member (9) is provided on the bottom surface of the sliding member (6). The engaging member (9) is stored in the storage compartment (8) and inserted into the lock case (10).

As shown in FIG. 3, the sliding member (6) is integrally provided with three divided members on the right side surface. The projection located at the center is formed parallel to the left side surface, but the locking projections (11) at both ends are formed to be tilted slightly to the right. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the lock case (10) is provided with a locking surface (12) formed on one inner surface at a smaller inclination angle than the locking projection (11). When the sliding member (6) is housed in the lock case (10), the locking projection (11) touches the locking surface (12) to generate a spring force, and the sliding member (6) is locked in the lock case (10). ).

Therefore, the coil spring (7) and the engaging member (9) do not pop up due to the repulsive force of the coil spring (7) and the impact from the outside. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the lid member (5) is provided with a fitting groove (5c) for fitting with the lock case (10) on the upper member (5a), and the sliding member (6) is fitted with the lock case (5). After housing in (10), the upper member (5a) is covered to complete the lid (5). Further, since the sliding member (6) is locked to the lock case (10), even if the sliding member (6) is covered with the upper member (5a), the engaging member (9) and the coil spring (7) are internally provided as shown in FIG. ) And the sliding member (6) interfere with each other and float up to the top or shift their positions without breaking the locking state of the sliding member (6). Then, arrange them as they are, and form the lid (5). Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the sliding member (6) is locked to the lock case (10) to assemble the slide member (1) by operating one engaging member (9). Not only the small electronic device for opening and closing the body (5), but also the main body (16) of the small electronic device in which two or more engaging members (14) are actuated by a pair of slides (13) as shown in FIG. It can also be used to open and close the lid (15). Further, in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sliding member (6) and the engaging member (9) are separated from each other as a single item, and the engaging member (9) is housed in the housing compartment (8). Thus, the sliding member (6) and the engaging member (9) are assembled and housed in the lock case (10), but they may be housed in the lock case (10) as an integral member, for example, a molded part. .. The locking projection (11) is also bent outward and is formed so as to apply a spring force, but as long as there is a spring force that opposes the locking portion (12), it is not a three-piece shaped product. Alternatively, another integrated product may be used.

[0008]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the sliding member is locked by the lock case, it is possible to cover the upper member without protruding or arranging these members in the lower member of the lid, and thus the lid member Assembly work is simple and efficient. Moreover, after assembly, there is no gap between the upper and lower members and no deviation in placement, and the engaging member can slide smoothly without interfering with or rubbing against the groove portion in the lower member, and can be slid even in the groove portion of the main body. The lid can be freely opened and closed without causing interference or friction.
