Electronic apparatus and enclosure
A cover is coupled to an enclosure body for a relative sliding movement. An opening operating member is attached to the enclosure body. An enclosure includes a sliding mechanism for sliding the cover. When the cover is to be removed, a user operates the opening operating member so as to cause the cover to slide. The user can thus recognize the movable portion of the enclosure. At the same time, the user can recognize the direction of movement of the movable portion, that is, the cover. Even the user who does not remember the operation of releasing can carry out the operation to remove the cover with small force and relatively easily.
1. An enclosure comprising:
an enclosure body;
a cover slidably coupled to the enclosure body, the cover defining an inner space between the enclosure body and the cover itself;
an opening operating member attached to the enclosure body and exposed at an outer surface of the enclosure body; and
a sliding mechanism causing the cover to slide based on an operation of the opening operating member, wherein
the cover is configured to move from a closing position toward a release position in response to the operation of the opening operating member, the cover taking the closing position to close an opening defined in the enclosure body, the cover taking the release position to be released from the enclosure body.
2. The enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the opening operating member is configured to stop the cover at a position between the closing position and the release position.
3. The enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding mechanism causes the cover to move in accordance with the degree of operation of the opening operating member.
4. The enclosure according to claim 1 , wherein an indicator is attached to the opening operating member.
5. An electronic apparatus comprising:
an enclosure body;
a cover slidably coupled to the enclosure body, the cover defining an inner space between the enclosure body and the cover itself;
an opening operating member attached to the enclosure body and exposed at an outer surface of the enclosure body; and
a sliding mechanism causing the cover to slide based on an operation of the opening operating member, wherein
the cover is configured to move from a closing position toward a release position in response to the operation of the opening operating member, the cover taking the closing position to close an opening defined in the enclosure body, the cover taking the release position to be released from the enclosure body.
6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the opening operating member is configured to stop the cover at a position between the closing position and the release position.
7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the sliding mechanism causes the cover to move in accordance with the degree of operation of the opening operating member.
8. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein an indicator is attached to the opening operating member.
