Abstract

An encasement apparatus includes a case main body configured to freely encase equipment in an inside portion thereof, and the case main body has a first partition wall configured to divide a space in the inside portion into a first isolated space and a second isolated space together with the equipment in such a state that the equipment is encased in the inside portion.

Claims (52)

1 . An encasement apparatus comprising:

a case main body configured to freely encase equipment in an inside portion thereof,

wherein the case main body comprises a first partition wall configured to divide a space in the inside portion into a first isolated space and a second isolated space together with the equipment in such a state that the equipment is encased in the inside portion,

wherein the case main body comprises a first opening portion communicating with the first isolated space and a second opening portion communicating with the second isolated space.

2 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the equipment comprises a projection member configured to project an image, and the encasement apparatus further comprising:

a projection opening provided between the first opening portion and the second opening portion in such a state that the equipment is encased in the inside portion of the case main body and configured to expose the projection member to an outside of the case main body.

3 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the equipment comprises a projection member configured to project an image, and the encasement apparatus further comprising:

a hole portion configured to enable an image input member for inputting the image into the equipment to be passed through.

4 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first partition wall comprises a first wall portion having a first height and a second wall portion having a second height which is smaller in height than the first height, and

wherein in a case that the equipment is encased in the inside portion of the case main body, the second wall portion is brought into abutment directly or indirectly with the equipment.

5 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the case main body comprises a second partition wall, and

wherein in a case that the equipment is encased in the inside portion of the case main body, the second partition wall forms a third isolated space which is isolated from the first isolated space and the second isolated space.

6 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein an input/output wire material extending from the equipment or an accessory member associated with the equipment is disposed in the third isolated space.

7 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a support device configured to support the case main body.

8 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the case main body comprises a first opening portion communicating with the first isolated space and a second opening portion communicating with the second isolated space,

wherein the equipment comprises at least one intake port and at least one discharge port, and

wherein the support device comprises a first blower device configured to send air to the at least one intake port of the equipment by way of the first opening portion and a second blower device configured to send gas discharged from the at least one discharge port of the equipment by way of the second opening portion to an outside of the case main body.

9 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 7 , further comprising:

an adjustment member configured to adjust a posture of the case main body with respect to the support device.

10 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the support device comprises a fixing member,

wherein the adjustment member is fixed to an attachment member to which the equipment is attached, and the posture of the case main body with respect to the support device is adjusted as a result of a position of the adjustment member with respect to the fixing member being adjusted.

11 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein the fixing member comprises an engagement hole in which the adjustment member can move.

12 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the support device comprises a link member which is fixed to the fixing member,

wherein the link member comprises a first attachment hole corresponding to the engagement hole, and

wherein the adjustment member comprises a screw, the screw being attached to the attachment member via the first attachment hole of the link member and the engagement hole of the fixing member.

13 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 12 ,

wherein the fixing member comprises a fulcrum shaft,

wherein the link member comprises a fulcrum hole provided to correspond to the fulcrum shaft, and

wherein the link member rotates freely about the fulcrum shaft.

14 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 13 ,

wherein the link member comprises a second attachment hole at an opposite end to the first attachment hole across the fulcrum hole, and

wherein the fixing member is screwed to the link member via the second attachment hole of the link member.

15 . A projection system, comprising:

the encasement apparatus according to claim 1 ; and

a projector as the equipment.

16 . An encasement apparatus comprising:

a case main body configured to freely encase equipment in an inside portion thereof,

wherein the case main body comprises a first partition wall configured to divide a space in the inside portion into a first isolated space and a second isolated space together with the equipment in such a state that the equipment is encased in the inside portion,

wherein the equipment comprises at least one intake port and at least one discharge port, and

wherein in such a state that the equipment is brought into abutment directly or indirectly with the first partition wall and the equipment is encased in the inside portion of the case main body, the at least one intake port and the at least one discharge port of the equipment are individually disposed in the first isolated space and the second isolated space which are isolated from each other by the equipment and the first partition wall.

17 . The encasement apparatus according to claim 16 ,

wherein the at least one discharge port of the equipment is not disposed in the first isolated space, and the at least one intake port of the equipment is not disposed in the second isolated space.
