Abstract

A lid structure capable of preventing a lid member from being opened due to a jet stream by using a simple structure is provided. A lid structure includes a lid member configured to cover a housing part of a housing container, and a protrusion disposed near an end of an opposing surface of the lid member, the opposing surface being located on a side of the lid member that is opposed to the housing part when the lid member covers the housing part. The protrusion is disposed in a position that is located outside the housing part when the lid member covers the housing part. The protrusion includes an inclined surface inclined from a direction perpendicular to the opposing surface toward the end of the opposing surface.

Claims (19)

1. A lid structure comprising:

a lid member configured to cover a housing part of a housing container;

a protrusion disposed near an end of a first surface of the lid member, the first surface being located on a side of the lid member that is opposed to the housing part when the lid member covers the housing part; and

a jet-stream suppression part provided near the end of the first surface, the protrusion is disposed between the end of the first surface and the jet-stream suppression part,

wherein the protrusion is disposed in a position that is located outside the housing part when the lid member covers the housing part,

wherein the protrusion includes a second surface facing the end of the first surface, the protrusion being inclined with respect to a direction perpendicular to the first surface in an inclined angle, the protrusion extending toward the end of the first surface in the inclined angle,

wherein the second surface is formed from a joint with the first surface to the end of the protrusion, and

wherein the lid structure is configured to seal an entirety of the housing container for a cable that enters the housing container in a same direction that the jet-stream suppression part suppresses a jet-stream through the second surface of the protrusion.

2. The lid structure according to claim 1 , wherein

the lid structure is rotatably connected to the housing of the housing container with a hinge part interposed therebetween, and

the protrusion is disposed near an end of the first surface opposite to the hinge part.

3. The lid structure according to claim 1 , wherein

a finger hooking part is provided in the end of the first surface, the finger hooking part being formed toward inside of the lid member and being configured so that a finger is hooked thereon when a user brings the lid member into an opened state for the housing part, and

the protrusion is disposed near the finger hooking part.

4. The lid structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a hinge part that rotatably connects the lid structure with the housing,

wherein the protrusion is disposed near the end of the first surface on a side opposite to the hinge part and in a position that is located outside the housing part, and

wherein the second surface is inclined with respect to the direction perpendicular to the first surface and extends toward the end on the side opposite to the hinge part.

5. The lid structure according to claim 1 , wherein the joint is configured by connecting the first surface and the second surface so that an angle θ of the second surface with respect to a side of the end of the first surface is smaller than 90 degrees.
