Electronic device
View Patent ↗There is provided an electronic device includes a terminal port disposed at a side surface of a casing, and a cap for covering the terminal port in an openable and closable manner, wherein the cap includes a fitting portion for fitting into the terminal port, a pressing surface exposed on the side surface of the casing, and a cap-turning support configured to support the cap in the openable and closable manner with respect to the terminal port, the pressing surface of the cap is perpendicular to a fitting direction of the cap into the terminal port, and a portion located above and/or below the terminal port in the side surface of the casing constitutes a first protrusion configured to outwardly protrude in an arc-like shape from the side surface of the casing more than the pressing surface in a state where the cap is closed.
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a casing having, at an outer surface thereof, an upper surface and a lower surface that are disposed opposite to each other, and side surfaces for joining peripheral edges of the upper and lower surfaces;
a terminal port disposed at a side surface of the casing and opened outward of the casing; and
a cap configured to cover the terminal port in an openable and closable manner, wherein
the cap includes a fitting portion capable of fitting into the terminal port, a pressing surface that is exposed on the side surface of the casing, and a cap-turning support configured to support the cap in the openable and closable manner with respect to the terminal port,
the pressing surface of the cap is perpendicular to a fitting direction of the cap into the terminal port,
a portion located directly above and/or below the terminal port in the side surface of the casing constitutes a first protrusion configured to protrude outwardly in an arc-like shape from the side surface of the casing and beyond the pressing surface when the cap is closed,
a portion on the cap, located above and/or below the pressing surface of the cap, constitutes a second protrusion configured to protrude outwardly in an arc-like shape and in a same direction as that of the first protrusion and beyond the pressing surface when the cap is closed, a major length of the second protrusion extending between an end of the second protrusion disposed relatively nearer to the cap-turning support and an open end of the cap, the major length extending in a direction along the side surfaces that is parallel to the upper and lower surfaces, and
an outer surface of the first protrusion and an outer surface of the second protrusion are flush such that the outer surface of the first protrusion and the outer surface of the second protrusion constitute a common outer surface in a state where the cap is closed.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first and the second protrusions are made of a material having a higher elasticity than that of a material of other portions of the upper surface or the lower surface of the casing.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein a sealing member for sealing the terminal port of the casing is disposed on an outer periphery of the fitting portion of the cap.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the upper surface and the lower surface of the casing are respectively formed into a substantially quadrangular shape as viewed on a plane, and the side surfaces are configured to have two pairs of substantially flat surfaces disposed opposite to each other.
5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein each corner of the quadrangular shape is constituted by a bulge portion configured to bulge outward of the casing, and a part of the bulge portion constitutes the first protrusion.
