Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the abnormal condition of a cover by forming a canopy part at the side away from the shaft part of a main body, and providing a handling part at the protective cover side and a middle part having elasticity to link the key part and the shaft part. CONSTITUTION:The cover has a recessed part 10 to match with a projected part 9 of the lower part of a front cover 2 fixed at a main body 1, and is composed of a shaft part 14 to fit freely turnably with a key part 12, a middle elasticity part 13 and a front cover 2 having the canopy part 8 and a space 11. At the time of opening, by pushing the key part 12 from upward, the key part 12 descends for the space 11 only, the recessed part 10 also descends interlockedly, and thereby, the hanging with the projected part 9 of the front cover 2 is slipped off, and a cover 5 can be opened. The force from upward to the key part 12 is absorbed by the elastic change of the middle part 13. Thus, the cover, which is low in price secured to have no fault, can be obtained.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a protective cover for a switch that is operated other than normal operation in a personal computer or the like.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, various types of covers or methods of fixing the covers exist, but in the case of simple component configurations, they are often forced to open, and in order to avoid forced opening, extra parts are required for the fixing part.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

This invention has a simple structure and can be opened and closed reliably.

To provide a protective cover formed to prevent the cover itself from becoming abnormal even if an extra force is applied at the same time.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention has a shaft part that is rotatably attached to one main body, and an eaves part is formed on the side remote from the shaft part of one main body, and the eaves part fits into the lower part of the bottom of one main body by unevenness on the protective cover side. A handhold portion is formed over the upper part of the shaft with a space therebetween, and an elastic intermediate portion connects the handhold portion and the shaft portion.

[Effect]

In this invention, when opening and closing the protective cover.

The opening operation of the protective cover is performed using the space between the handhold part and the upper part of the eaves part and the elastic force of the protective cover, and when the cover is opened, a force above a certain level is applied to the cover due to the relationship with the bottom of the main body. I won't join.

[Embodiments of the invention]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 3, (1) is a main body that stores electronic devices, etc., and forms a box shape in combination with a front cover (2). (3) is a device such as a floppy disk that appears from the front cover (2), (4) is a power switch or other switches used by the operator for normal operations, and (5) is for operations other than 1 normal operation (internal diagnosis, etc.) switch (6) and indicator (
7) It is a protective cover that can be used to hide things such as 2 during normal use.

Figure 2 shows normal use with the protective cover closed. 1st
The figure is a detailed cross-section of the protective cover (5) during normal use, and shows a recess ( 11, a handle part Ua having an eaves part (8) and a space aυ, an intermediate elastic part 0, and a shaft part (14) that rotatably attaches to the front cover (2). .

Since the protective cover of the present invention is constructed as described above, when opening the first handhold part aX5, by pushing the first handhold part aX5 from above, the bottom part of the handhold part is opened by the space I, and the concave part ( 11 also lowers, the convex part (9) of the front cover (2)
) and the cover (5) can be opened. The force from above on the handhold part α2 is.

It is absorbed by the elastic change of the intermediate part a3 (dotted line in Figure 1)
.

At this time, even if a large force is inadvertently applied to the handhold part c1, the second handhold part 2 will not sink down excessively due to the eaves part (8) of the front cover (2), so the protective cover (5)
There will be no abnormal deformation and, in the worst case, destruction.

Note that the convex portion (9) of the front cover (2) in the above embodiment
Of course, the concave portion α of the protective cover (5) and the concave portion α of the protective cover (5) may be reversed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the elastic deformation of the protective cover itself is utilized and the protective cover is configured so that no extra force is applied to the protective cover. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an inexpensive, reliable, and trouble-free cover. Ta.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 is an enlarged sectional view showing the main parts of an embodiment of the present invention;
FIGS. 2 and 3 are perspective views showing an embodiment of the present invention in use. (1) is the main body, (2) is the front cover, and (5) is the entire protective cover. (8) is the eave part, (9) is the convex part, α1 is the concave part, (II)
is the space, α is the handhold portion, α is the intermediate portion, and a4 is the shaft portion.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A handhold part that fits into the lower part of the eaves part provided on the main body side by unevenness and covers the upper part of the eaves part with a space, a shaft part that is rotatably attached to the main body, and this shaft part and the above handhold part. A protective cover consisting of an elastic middle part that connects the parts.
