- This invention concerns an electronic device cabinet having a main body and a cover that is rotatably attached to the cabinet main body, and in particular, an engagement member having a simplified construction for engaging said cover and for controlling the open and closed state of said cover.
- cabinets for entertainment devices that employ optical disks such as CD players, DVD players and the like
- cabinets that have a cover whose end is attached rotatably to a cabinet main body and in which the cover is opened and closed using elastic force.
- a cabinet is usually constructed in such a way that the cover is attached rotatably to the inner side of the cabinet main body by a hinge or other mechanism, a spring or other impelling means is provided inside the cabinet main body, and the cover is opened by releasing the elastic force of the spring.
- an engaging member Provided on the cabinet main body in a location away from the attachment of the cover, and the cover can be closed by engaging the end of the cover with this engaging member.
- This engaging member usually has a sloping surface that comes into contact with a button or other pressing member, and when the operator presses the button, the pressing force acts via the sloping surface as a force in the advance-and-retract direction of the engaging member, and it moves away from the cover end.
- a spring or other impelling means is provided on the advance-and-retract direction base end part of the engaging member.
- the engagement structure of the cover consists of a button, engaging member, and impelling means, with a large number of parts, which creates the problem that much work is required during assembly, and it is difficult to assemble the electronic device efficiently.
- a spring or other impelling means must be mounted on the base end part of the engaging member in a bent state, which complicates the assembly operation.
- An electronic device cabinet having a cabinet main body and a cover whose end is attached rotatably to the cabinet main body, is provided with an engaging member that advances and retracts with respect to the end of said cover and holds said cover in closed state by engaging said end of said cover.
- the engaging member has an engaging part main body that engages the end of said cover and an impelling means that impels this main body in the advance-and-retract direction, both the engaging part main body and the impelling means being formed integrally. Because of such integrated construction, the engaging part main body and the impelling means can be attached just by fitting the engaging member onto the cabinet main body, which greatly simplifies the assembly operation.
- Such cabinet can be used is an entertainment device such as a CD or DVD player or a game device, and using the construction of the present invention on these electronic devices can simplify the structure of the cabinet, which is desirable in making electronic devices smaller and lighter, and in reducing their cost.
- the impelling means have a symmetric construction for attributing a uniform force on said engagement member, and be formed in the shape of a ring.
- a guide is provided on said cabinet main body for regulating the movement of the engaging part main body.
- said engaging member as an integral molding of injection-molded polyacetal, because polyacetal is a good sliding material and has good fatigue resistance.

In addition, by pressing cover 13 toward disk mounting part 20, engaging member 24, which had moved away from engagement piece 2 IB, moves toward recess 21 C of engagement piece 2 IB, and the tip of main body upper part 27 engages with said engagement piece 21B. In this way, cover 13 can be closed.
- engaging part main body 25 and impelling means 26 are integrated, engaging part main body 25 and the impelling means 26 can be attached just by fitting engaging member 24 onto upper case main body 14, which simplifies the assembly operation of the electronic device cabinet of the invention.
- impelling means 26 is constituted symmetrically about the engaging member 24, the impelling force in the advance-and-retract direction can be made to act on engaging member 24 uniformly left and right.
- the structure of impelling means 26 can be simplified by constituting it in a ring shape.
- engaging member 24 can be mounted along guide 14B, which further simplifies the assembly operation of the cabinet of the invention.
- engaging member 24 is preferably made of polyacetal, because polyacetal is a good sliding material and has good fatigue resistance, one can slide engaging part main body 25 smoothly along upper case main body 14 and maintain the impelling force of impelling means 26 for a long time.
- depression 14F is provided on the circumferential edge of opening 14E of upper case main body 14, after cover 13 is attached to upper case main body 14, when doing a confirmation that said cover 13 is attached, etc., it is simple to open and close said cover 13 by latching a finger onto the circumferential edge of cover 13 that is exposed in depression 14F. This makes it easy to confirm attachment of cover 13, etc. Furthermore, because depression 14F is provided on the circumferential edge 14E of upper case main body 14 and is dimensioned such that the base of the depression 14F is aligned with or below the height of an inserted optical disk 4 (see FIG. 3), access to an inserted optical disk, and in particular the edge of such a disk, for removal or the like can be made easier.
- the material of the engaging member is not limited to polyacetal; one may also use a thermoplastic resin such as, for example, nylon or polycarbonate. Other appropriate materials may also be used.
- a guide is formed on the main body for guiding the movement of the engagement member, such a guide may not be necessary if, for example, the lower part of the main body of the engaging member is press-fit into an opening and there is no movement at all of engaging member 24 perpendicular to the advance-and-retract direction.
- the impelling means is formed in the shape of a ring, it could also be formed in the shape of a spiral or wave. Other shapes are also contemplated.
- the impelling means is positioned symmetrically with respect to the engagement member in the advance and retreat direction, it could also be constituted asymmetrically if desired.
- depression 14F is preferably provided on the circumferential edge of opening 14E, it need not be present if, for example, the cover can be opened and closed simply by latching with a claw, etc.
