  • a hinge structure of a cover for a controller includes deviation elements 30 formed in association with receiving parts formed outside a manipulation part 11 of a controller 10 and installation parts formed at both sides of a main body of a cover 20, wherein the hinge structure may be prevented from deformation or damage via the deviation elements 30 in the operation of the cover 20.
  • the controller 10 is formed with the receiving parts at both sides of the manipulation part 11 in a main body thereof, wherein the receiving parts of the controller 10 are to be installation grooves 12 as shown in the accompanying drawings.
  • the cover 20 is formed with hinge protrusions 21 serving as the installation parts at both sides of a main body thereof. As the hinge protrusions 21 serving as the installation parts are received in the installation grooves 12 serving as the receiving parts of the controller 10, the cover 20 is mounted to the cover 10 outside the manipulation part 11 so as to protect the manipulation part 11 of the controller 10 from the outside.
  • the installation grooves 12 serving as the receiving parts formed outside the manipulation part 11 of the controller 10 and the hinge protrusions 21 serving as the installation parts 26 of the cover 20 are preferably formed in the hemispherical shape for smooth opening or closing performance of the cover carried out by rotation of the cover 20.

  • the hinge protrusions 21 serving as the installation parts of the cover 20 become deviated from the installation grooves 12 in a short time along the guide grooves 13 in the hemispherical installation grooves 12 of the controller 10 without any deformation and damage of the cover 20, when a user opens the cover 20 beyond a set opening angle of the cover 20.
  • the setting angle of the guide grooves 13 serving as the deviation elements 30 formed in the installation grooves 12 is not limited in any particular angles either.
  • holding parts 14 are formed with a stepped difference at upper parts of the installation grooves 12 serving as the receiving parts of the controller 10 perpendicularly to the installation grooves 12 in order to prevent the cover 20 from being opened more than the set opening angle thereof.
  • the guide grooves 13 serving as the deviation elements 30 are formed in the installation grooves 12 at a position where an opening angle of the cover 20 starts to exceed a perpendicular angle with respect to the main body of the controller 10.
  • the hinge protrusions 21 serving as the installation parts of the cover 20 as shown in Fig. 3 rotate in the installation grooves 12 serving as the receiving parts of the controller 10 according to the opening angle of the cover 20.
  • the hinge protrusions 21 become deviated outward along inner inclined surfaces 15 of the guide grooves 13 serving as the deviation elements 30, so that the deformation and damage of the cover 20 may be prevented in advance behind the position where the top surface 23 of the cover 20 contacts the holding parts 14 perpendicular to stepped portions 16 of the controller 10.
  • Holding protrusions 25 and controlling grooves 17 may be respectively formed at upper parts of outer guide surfaces 24 of the hinge protrusions 21 of the cover 20 and at corners of the stepped portions 16 of the controller 10 in the above hinge structure having the deviation elements 30, so as to keep a predetermined opened angle of the cover 20.
  • the hinge protrusions 21 of the cover 20 are guided in the direction of the guide grooves 13 in the installation grooves 12 by the contact between the holding protrusions 25 and the stepped portions 16 of the controller 10. Therefore, the hinge protrusions 21 become deviated outward from the ends of the guide grooves 13 if the opening of the cover 20 is advanced any further, and the cover 20 becomes separated from the controller 10.
  • the deviation elements 30 may be formed symmetrically in the main body of the cover 20 instead of in the installation grooves 12 of the controller 10, which are serving as the receiving parts.
  • hinge protrusions 21a are formed in the main body of the controller 10
  • installation holes 22 and guide grooves 13a are formed in the main body of the cover 20, which contact the hinge protrusions 21, so as to make the cover 20 deviated from the controller 10 as the cover 20 is opened beyond its opening angle in the same manner as above.
  • the hinge structure such as the deviation elements 30 is not limited to the upper parts of the controller 10 and the cover 20 but may be realized inde- pendently or employed at each of the upper and lower parts thereof in diverse direction. Such a hinge structure may be also included in the scope of the present invention.
  • the hinge protrusions 21 become contacting the guide grooves 13 serving as the deviation elements 30 and deviated outward, thereby preventing deformation and damage of the cover in advance, when the cover 20 is opened beyond its opening angle while the hinge protrusions 21 serving as the installation parts of the cover 20 are axially mounted in the installation grooves 12 serving as the receiving parts of the controller 10 or an excessive force is applied to the cover 20 unexpectedly.
