Abstract

The mobile terminal apparatus of the present invention includes a housing having an opening section in which an accommodated object is fitted; a lid covering the opening section, the lid having a protrusion which surrounds the opening section and shields the accommodated object from water, on a surface facing the accommodated object; and a cover covering the lid, the cover being attached to the housing to press the lid onto the housing. When the cover is attached to the housing, the protrusion of the lid surrounds the opening section and is pressed onto the housing by the cover, so that the accommodated object can be reliably shielded from water.

Claims (10)

1. A mobile terminal apparatus comprising:

a housing having an opening section in which an accommodated object is fitted;

a lid comprising a plate section which is openable and closable about a rotation axis and covers the opening section with a plane wider than the opening section in a state of being closed, an elastic protrusion which projects from the plane of the plate section while surrounding a portion of the plane which portion faces the opening section in the state of being closed, and is sandwiched between the plate section and a surrounding portion surrounding the opening section of the housing in the state of being closed to prevent water from entering into the opening section so as to shield the accommodated object from water, and a fixing section to fix to the housing; and

a cover covering the lid, the cover being attached to the housing.

2. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the housing includes a guide which extends in a direction of the rotation axis, and

the cover slides along the guide to be attached to the housing.

3. The mobile terminal apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the housing has a groove formed in a portion corresponding to the cover, and

the cover comprises a lock mechanism which engages with the groove to be locked to the housing.
