Abstract

An electronic device according to the present invention includes: a casing; a containing chamber that is recessed in the casing and configured to contain a component therein; an openable cover that is configured to cover the containing chamber and includes a turnable cover body pivotally supported on the casing, a stopper engaged with a rear face of the cover body, and a slide piece being held between the cover body and the stopper and having an operating portion exposed on a front face of the cover body, the cover being locked at a closure position by a slide operation of the slide piece; and a stopper piece that is configured to project to and retreat from the containing chamber, and is located facing a rear face of the stopper, thus inhibiting the component from falling out.

Claims (9)

1 . An electronic device comprising:

a casing;

a containing chamber that is recessed in the casing and configured to contain a component therein;

an openable cover that is configured to cover the containing chamber and includes a turnable cover body pivotally supported on the casing, a stopper engaged with a rear face of the cover body, and a slide piece being held between the cover body and the stopper and having an operating portion exposed on a front face of the cover body, the cover being locked at a closure position by a slide operation of the slide piece; and

a stopper piece that is configured to project to and retreat from the containing chamber, and is located facing a rear face of the stopper, thus inhibiting the component from falling out.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the stopper piece is configured to receive displacement of the stopper caused by elastic deformation of the cover body due to pressing force applied to slide the slide piece of the cover.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the stopper comprises a plurality of projecting pieces on a plate; and

the cover body has a plurality of engaging pieces on the rear face thereof, elastic deformation of the cover body or the stopper allowing the plurality of projecting pieces to engage with or disengage from the plurality of engaging pieces.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a rib that restricts a retracting motion of the stopper piece projects from the rear face of the cover body.
