Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a case body and a cover into one body by a method wherein a spring resilient stopper is provided on the end of a case main body while a protrusion engaging with the stopper is provided on a cover rotatably fitted to the case main body through the intermediary of a hinge mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A spring resilient stopper 8 is provided on the end of a case main body 2. A protrusion 11 engaging with the stopper 8 is provided on a cover 3 rotatably fitted to the case main body 2 through the intermediary of a hinge mechanism 9. At this time, the case main body 2 and the cover 3 are formed into one body through the intermediary of the hinge mechanism 9. Through these procedures, the case main body 2 as well as the stopper 8 fitting the cover 3 to the case main body 2 is to be provided with the spring resiliency. Accordingly, the adherence between the case main body 2 and the cover 3 can be constantly secured by the spring resiliency thereby enabling the fitting work between the case main body 2 and the cover 3 to be facilitated.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a casing for electronic equipment used in electronic equipment such as pagers, pagers and mobile phones.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in such an electronic device casing 20, as shown in FIG. 4, a case main body 22 having an accommodating portion 21 for accommodating an electronic substrate (not shown), and the case main body 22. And a cover 23 that closes the opening 22a of the housing 21.

The opening 22 of the case body 22
A screw hole 24 is provided in the surface portion on the a side. Further, the screw hole 24 provided in the case body 22 is also formed on the surface of the cover 23.
Corresponding to the screw holes 25 are provided.

Then, the case body 22 and the cover 23
Means that the case body 22 and the cover 23 are fixed by aligning the screw holes 24 and 25 with each other and screwing a screw 26 into the screw hole.

[0005]

However, in the conventional electronic device housing 20, the case body 22 is used.
Since the work of fixing the cover 23 to the cover is performed via the screw 26, the screw tightening work is very troublesome, and much less because the case body 22 and the cover 23 are separated from each other. There was a problem that was dropped.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to integrate a case body and a cover into one body, and yet to attach the cover to the case body very easily. Another object is to provide a housing for an electronic device.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, a housing for electronic equipment of the present invention is provided with a stopper portion having spring elasticity at an end portion of a case body, and a hinge mechanism is interposed in the case body. A rotatably mounted cover is provided with a protrusion for locking the stopper.

[0008]

With this structure, the case main body and the cover are integrated with each other via the hinge mechanism, and the stopper portion of the case main body is engaged with the protrusion provided on the cover, whereby the case main body and the cover are separated from each other. The adhesion between the case body and the cover can be ensured while facilitating the mounting work.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The electronic equipment casing of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an electronic device casing of the present invention.

The electronic equipment casing 1 of the present invention comprises a case body 2 and a cover 3. Inside the case body 2, a housing portion 4 for housing an electronic substrate (not shown) is provided. The opening of the accommodating portion 4 serves as the electronic substrate extraction hole 5. Further, a waterproof packing 6 is projectingly provided on a surface portion on the electronic substrate taking-out hole 5 side, and a storage concave portion 7 is provided at a right end portion of the case body 2, and a spring elastic force is provided at an end portion of the storage concave portion 7. A frame-shaped stopper portion 8 having properties is provided.

Further, one end of the cover 3 is rotatably attached to the left end of the case body 2 via a hinge mechanism 9. A stopper accommodating recess 10 is provided at the other end of the cover 3, and a protrusion 11 is provided in the stopper accommodating recess 10.

Next, a method of using the electronic equipment casing 1 of the present invention configured as described above will be described. First, when the case body 2 is closed by the cover 3, an electronic substrate (not shown) is housed in the housing portion 4 inside the case body 2, and then the cover 3 is rotated via the hinge mechanism 9. The electronic board take-out hole 5 opened in the case body 2 is closed by the cover 3. Then, the frame portion 8a of the stopper portion 8 provided on the right end portion of the cover 3 is locked to the protrusion portion 11 in the stopper accommodating portion 10 provided on the other end portion of the cover 3. At this time, since the stopper portion 8 has a spring action, the cover 3 is always attracted to the case body 2 side. Therefore, the case body 2 and the cover 3 are closely fixed to each other, and Rattling between the covers 3 can be prevented. Further, since the case body 2 and the cover 3 are closely fixed to each other, the waterproof packing 6 provided on the case body 2 is provided.
By pressing and spreading, the waterproof effect can be further enhanced.

Further, when the cover 3 of the case body 2 is released, the protrusion 11 in the stopper accommodating portion 10 of the cover 3 is removed.
The frame portion 8a of the stopper portion 8 of the case body 2 locked to the
And the cover 3 is rotated via the hinge mechanism 9 of the case body 2, the electronic board take-out hole 5 of the case body 2 can be released.

In the electronic equipment casing 1 of the present invention constructed as described above, the case body 2 and the cover 3 are connected to each other by the hinge mechanism 9.
Since the cover 3 is detached from the case body 2 by integrating the case body 2 and the stopper portion 8 for attaching the case body 2 and the cover 3 has spring elasticity, The attachment work between the case body 2 and the cover 3 can be easily performed while always ensuring the close contact between the body 2 and the cover 3.

[0015]

In the electronic equipment casing of the present invention configured as described above, the stopper portion having the spring elasticity is provided at the end portion of the case body, and the case body is rotatable through the hinge mechanism. Since the protrusion attached to the cover is provided on the cover attached to the case, it is possible to prevent the cover from falling off from the case body by integrating the case body and the cover through the hinge mechanism. At the same time, since the stopper portion for mounting the case body and the cover has spring elasticity, the adhesion between the case body and the cover can be always ensured and the mounting work between the case body and the cover can be facilitated. ..
