A projector configured to modulate a luminous flux emitted from a light source in accordance with image information, forms an image light, and projects the image light, includes: an exterior housing having an intake vent for taking in the ambient air, and an insertion slot communicating with the intake vent; an anti-dust filter being installed in the exterior housing so as to be mountable in and removable from the exterior housing through the insertion slot, prevents dust from intruding into the exterior housing from the intake vent; and a cover configured so as to be switchable between an open condition in which it exposes the insertion slot, and a closed condition in which it covers the insertion slot.
1. A projector configured to modulate a luminous flux emitted from a light source in accordance with image information, form an image light, and project the image light comprising:
an exterior housing having an intake vent for taking in ambient air, and an insertion slot communicating with the intake vent;
an anti-dust filter installed in the exterior housing so as to be mountable in and removable from the exterior housing through the insertion slot so as to prevent dust from intruding into the exterior housing from the intake vent; and
a cover configured so as to be switchable between an open condition in which the cover exposes the insertion slot and a closed condition in which the cover covers the insertion slot, the cover including a cover main body which covers the insertion slot and arms extending from the cover main body so as to be rotatably supported on the exterior housing.
2. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein
the intake vent is formed in a side surface of the exterior housing,
the insertion slot is adjacent to the intake vent such that the anti-dust filter can be mounted and removed in a direction along the side surface, and
the cover is configured such that an intake side end positioned on the intake vent side of the cover main body rotates with a rotational trajectory smaller than that of an opposed side end opposed to the intake side end.
3. The projector according to claim 2 , wherein
the cover has a control portion configured to limit a movement from the opposed side end to the intake vent side.
4. The projector according to claim 1 , wherein
the arms are formed as a pair on a same axis, and
the exterior housing includes restrainers provided between the pair of arms.
