Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lid opening and closing device in which a lid rotatably supported by a case is rotated between a closed position where a slot formed in the case is covered and an open position where the slot is exposed.
  • a mechanism for opening and closing such a lid there are known mechanisms in which a lid provided for closing a slot formed in a case is slid between a lock position, where the lid covers the slot and is retained by the case so as not to be opened, and a release position, where the lid is released from the case (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication Nos. 06-89710, 10-3893, 2003-142841 and 2004-79543, for instance).
  • the lid is rotated to an open position via the release position to expose the slot.
  • the lid opening and closing mechanisms described in the above Publications are provided with a slide mechanism for protruding the lid from an outer side of the case, and a lock mechanism for inhibiting rotation of the lid. In this lid opening and closing mechanism, when the lid has been slid so as to protrude to the outside of the case, the lock of the lock mechanism is released to make the lid openable.
  • lid opening and closing mechanisms In the lid opening and closing mechanisms described in the above-noted Publications, however, it is necessary to form lid-opening lines on two surfaces of the case because the lid is slid so as to protrude to the outside of the case. Thus, there arises a problem in that members for composing the case are complicatedly processed and the cost increases. Further, since the lock mechanism is disposed at a corner of the case, there arises another problem in that the lock mechanism is likely to be damaged due to drop impact and so forth.
  • the lid opening and closing device comprises a lock mechanism, a retainer portion and a rotation mechanism.
  • the lock mechanism inhibits the lid from rotating to an open position, where a mouth formed in one surface of a case is exposed, when the lid is kept in a lock position.
  • the retainer portion slidably retains the lid between the lock position and a lock release position.
  • the lid is close to an inner side of a lateral surface adjacent to the surface, in which the mouth is formed, when kept in the lock position.
  • the lid is away from the inner side of the lateral surface when kept in the lock release position.
  • the rotation mechanism allows the lid rotating to the open position around an end portion of the lid positioned in a slide direction thereof when the lid is kept in the lock release position.
  • the end portion of the lid is an anterior end defined at a time when the lid is slid from the lock position to the lock release position.
  • the rotation mechanism comprises a shaft and a couple of elongate holes.
  • the shaft is disposed on either one of the anterior end of the lid and the case so as to be perpendicular to the slide direction of the lid.
  • the elongate holes are formed in the other of the anterior end of the lid and the case so as to extend in the slide direction. Both ends of the shaft fit into the elongate holes.
  • the lid opening and closing device further comprises an engagement claw and an elastic member.
  • the engagement claw is disposed at a position adjacent to the mouth and at a side of the shaft to retain an object loaded inside the mouth.
  • the elastic member holds the engagement claw and is bendable in a direction evacuating from the mouth toward the shaft.
  • the lid opening and closing device further comprises a torsion spring and a slide surface.
  • the torsion spring into which the shaft is inserted biases the lid toward the open position.
  • One end of the torsion spring comes into contact with an inner surface of the lid and the other end thereof comes into contact with the case.
  • On the slide surface the end of the torsion spring slides when the lid moves between the lock position and the lock release position.
  • the slide surface slopes so as to widen an interval of the lid and the retainer portion toward the shaft.
  • the lock mechanism comprises a protrusion, an engagement projection and contact surfaces.
  • the protrusion is formed on an inner side of the lid.
  • the engagement projection is formed on the case and retains the protrusion when the lid is kept in the lock position.
  • the engagement projection disengages from the protrusion when the lid is moved to the lock release position.
  • the contact surfaces are formed on the protrusion and the engagement projection. The contact surfaces come into contact with each other when the lid is moved from the open position to the lock release position, where the mouth is covered, in a state that the lid is situated nearer the lock position rather than the lock release position.
  • the contact surfaces slope so as to recede from the lid toward the shaft.
  • the lid opening and closing device further comprises a click protrusion and a clicking member.
  • the click protrusion is formed on one of an inner side of the lid and the case.
  • the clicking member is disposed at the other of the inner side of the lid and the case.
  • the clicking member retains the click protrusion to apply resistance to a slide operation of the lid when the lid is kept in the lock position.
  • the clicking member disengages the click protrusion and biases the lid toward the open position upon performing the slide operation overcoming the resistance.
