Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention is a device in which two casings are removably connected, which can be reliably locked at the same time as it is installed with a simple structure without using screws, etc., and can be easily removed when it is removed. The lock can be unlocked.

For example, a portable television receiver may use a battery as a power source. Of course, when the battery is not in use, the battery case may be connected to the receiver body, but the battery case must be removed from the receiver body, and in this case, it is desirable to be able to easily attach and remove the battery case.

The present invention provides effective means in such cases, and one embodiment thereof will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a first casing, for example, a television receiver body, and 2 is a second casing, for example a battery case, which is composed of a case body 3 and a lid 4. Ru. Here, the first casing 1 and the second casing 2 are removably connected, but as shown in FIG.
The lid body 4 of the casing 2 has a plurality of locking claws 4a in a 5-shape,
The case body 3 is also integrally provided with an elastic locking piece 3a as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. This lock piece 3 & has this opening piece 31L at the tip.
The finger rest for operation when releasing the lock has a curved end that protrudes to the outside from a notch provided in the lid body 4.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the first housing 1 has a hole 1a in its bottom surface into which the locking claw 41L is inserted and engaged, and a recess 1b into which the locking piece 3a is fitted.

When connecting the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 in the above configuration, first insert each locking claw 4a into the hole 1a of the first housing 1 as shown in FIG. 6a. , moves the first casing 1 in the direction of the arrow with respect to the second casing 2. This lock piece 3I! When L collides with the first case 1, the lock piece 3a is elastically deformed as shown in FIG. 6, and when the first case 1 is further moved in the direction of the arrow, the lock piece 3a
The lock piece 3! climbs over the lower end of the first housing 1 and as shown in FIG. 6C, the lock piece 3! L fits into the recess 1b of the first housing 1. At the same time, locking claw 4! L engages with the bottom plate of the first casing 1, and the first casing 1 and the second casing 2 are coupled.

Next, when separating the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, the sixth
As shown in FIG.
b, and at the same time move the first casing 1 in the direction of arrow C with respect to the second casing 2.

As described above, according to this configuration, the first casing 1 and the second casing 2 can be easily and reliably connected, and the uncoupling operation can also be easily performed.

Lock piece 3a, locking claw 4! Since both L can be formed integrally with the case body and the lid, there is no need to provide separate parts. In addition, in the above embodiment, explanation was given by taking as an example a television receiver body and a battery case that serves as a power source for the television receiver body, but the present invention is of course not limited to this, and can also be applied to connections between other parts. .

As explained above, according to the present invention, a locking pawl and an elastic lock piece are integrally formed in one housing, and a hole into which the locking piece is inserted and engaged is formed in the other housing, and a lock piece is formed in one body. By providing a recess into which the two cylinders fit elastically, it is possible to easily and reliably connect the two cylindrical bodies, and when the connection is to be released, the lock release finger rest of the lock piece is attached to the part. The two cylinder bodies can be easily separated by applying the force and deforming the lock piece.
