Description

本発明は、電子機器用カバー部材および電池蓋に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an electronic device cover member and a battery lid.

最近、携帯電話、携帯型のゲーム機器、電子ブック等の小型電子機器を持ち運ぶ機会が益々増えてきており、それに伴い、小型電子機器を落下させあるいは移動中に何かに接触させて破損する機会も増えている。小型電子機器を落下あるいは何かに接触させた際にその破損から防護する方法の一つに、小型電子機器をクッション性の高いカバーあるいはケースにて覆う方法が考えられる。   Recently, there are more and more opportunities to carry small electronic devices such as mobile phones, portable game devices, and e-books, and along with this, the opportunity to drop the small electronic devices or damage them by touching them while moving Is also increasing. One method of protecting a small electronic device from being damaged when it is dropped or brought into contact with something is a method of covering the small electronic device with a highly cushioned cover or case.

例えば、小型電子機器の操作面のみを開口し、側面から裏面までを覆う形状であって、開口部分の伸縮性を高めて、小型電子機器の着脱容易にした電子機器用カバーが知られている（特許文献１を参照）。また、携帯電話の操作面側を開口した比較的硬質の材料（プラスチックあるいは金属）から構成される携帯電話用の容器および保持具も知られている（特許文献２を参照）。   For example, a cover for an electronic device is known in which only the operation surface of a small electronic device is opened and covered from the side surface to the back surface, and the opening portion is stretchable so that the small electronic device can be easily attached and detached. (See Patent Document 1). In addition, a container and a holder for a mobile phone made of a relatively hard material (plastic or metal) having an opening on the operation surface side of the mobile phone are also known (see Patent Document 2).

Since the cover disclosed in Patent Document 1 is formed by stitching a soft material such as cloth, the cover can be easily turned over, but it is easy to tear and protects electronic equipment from impact when dropped. Does not have sufficient strength. In addition, since the container and the holder (herein referred to as “containers”) disclosed in Patent Document 2 are made of a relatively hard material, they cannot be turned over. In addition, when the electronic device is dropped, the container itself is easily damaged and cannot withstand repeated use. In addition, the container cannot sufficiently absorb the impact, and there is a high risk of damage to the electronic device.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the electronic device cover member shown in FIG. 2 taken along the line AA, showing the state before and after turning over.

（１）電子機器用カバー部材の構造
第一の実施の形態に係る電子機器用カバー部材（以後、単に、「カバー部材」と称する）１は、電子機器２の操作面３側を開口して当該電子機器２の外側を覆うことのできる形態を有する。カバー部材１は、底板２１とそれに連接する側壁２２とを有する容器型の弾性部材２０を備え、開口面１ａとその反対側にあたる裏面１ｂとを反転可能に構成されている。開口面１ａおよび裏面１ｂは、例えば、模様、文字、色、質感（例えば、表面粗度あるいは光沢度）等に代表される形態が互いに異なるように形成されている。例えば、開口面１ａを光沢のある表面性状とし、裏面１ｂをつや消し状態の表面性状とすることができる。カバー部材１は、弾性部材２０の底面側に、弾性部材２０よりも高硬度の第一プレート１０を備える。第一プレート１０は、弾性部材２０の底板２１の内部に埋設されている。ただし、第一プレート１０の一部が弾性部材２０から開口面１ａ側あるいは裏面１ｂ側に露出していても良い。 (1) Structure of electronic device cover member An electronic device cover member (hereinafter simply referred to as a “cover member”) 1 according to the first embodiment opens the operation surface 3 side of the electronic device 2. It has a form that can cover the outside of the electronic device 2. The cover member 1 includes a container-type elastic member 20 having a bottom plate 21 and a side wall 22 connected to the bottom plate 21, and is configured to be capable of reversing an opening surface 1a and a back surface 1b on the opposite side. The opening surface 1a and the back surface 1b are formed so that, for example, forms represented by patterns, characters, colors, textures (for example, surface roughness or glossiness) and the like are different from each other. For example, the opening surface 1a can be a glossy surface property, and the back surface 1b can be a matte surface property. The cover member 1 includes a first plate 10 having higher hardness than the elastic member 20 on the bottom surface side of the elastic member 20. The first plate 10 is embedded in the bottom plate 21 of the elastic member 20. However, a part of the first plate 10 may be exposed from the elastic member 20 to the opening surface 1a side or the back surface 1b side.

弾性部材２０は、熱可塑性エラストマー、熱硬化性エラストマーなどから好適に構成され、例えば、ウレタン系あるいはシリコーン系エラストマーから特に好適に構成される。第一プレート１０は、好適には樹脂から成り、より好適には、熱可塑性樹脂、熱硬化性樹脂、紫外線硬化性樹脂、電子線硬化性樹脂から成り、その中でも特に好適には、ポリカーボネート系樹脂、ポリエステル系樹脂あるいはポリアミド系樹脂から成る。弾性部材２０および第一プレート１０の厚さは、電子機器２の大きさ、重量等によって適正な厚さに設計可能である。例えば、電子機器２の厚さが８〜２０ｍｍ、短辺が５０〜２００ｍｍ、長辺が８０〜３００ｍｍの範囲にある場合、エラストマー製の弾性部材２０を構成する底板２１および側壁２２の最も厚い部分は、例えば、０．４〜１．４ｍｍ、より好適には０．４〜１．０ｍｍの範囲である。底板２１と側壁２２との境界線近傍、側壁２２同士の境界線近傍、および２つの側壁２２と底板２１との合流点近傍の少なくともいずれか１つは、弾性部材２０を表裏双方向に容易に裏返しできるように、底板２１および側壁２２よりも薄肉に形成する方が好ましい。第一プレート１０は、弾性部材２０の底板２１の内部に埋設される場合、底板２１の厚さよりも０．１〜１ｍｍ程度薄い方が好ましい。   The elastic member 20 is preferably configured from a thermoplastic elastomer, a thermosetting elastomer, or the like, and is particularly preferably configured from, for example, a urethane-based or silicone-based elastomer. The first plate 10 is preferably made of a resin, more preferably a thermoplastic resin, a thermosetting resin, an ultraviolet curable resin, or an electron beam curable resin, and particularly preferably a polycarbonate resin. It consists of a polyester resin or a polyamide resin. The thickness of the elastic member 20 and the first plate 10 can be designed to an appropriate thickness depending on the size, weight, etc. of the electronic device 2. For example, when the electronic device 2 has a thickness of 8 to 20 mm, a short side of 50 to 200 mm, and a long side of 80 to 300 mm, the thickest portions of the bottom plate 21 and the side wall 22 constituting the elastic member 20 made of elastomer. Is, for example, in the range of 0.4 to 1.4 mm, and more preferably in the range of 0.4 to 1.0 mm. At least one of the vicinity of the boundary line between the bottom plate 21 and the side wall 22, the vicinity of the boundary line between the side walls 22, and the vicinity of the junction point between the two side walls 22 and the bottom plate 21 can easily move the elastic member 20 in both directions. It is preferable to form it thinner than the bottom plate 21 and the side wall 22 so that it can be turned over. When the first plate 10 is embedded in the bottom plate 21 of the elastic member 20, the thickness of the first plate 10 is preferably about 0.1 to 1 mm thinner than the thickness of the bottom plate 21.

図３に示すように、第一プレート１０を基準に、弾性部材２０を矢印Ｘに示すように裏返すと、開口面１ａは裏面に、裏面１ｂは開口面になる。この結果、カバー部材１の裏面１ｂの形態を、開口面１ａの形態に変更することができる。   As shown in FIG. 3, when the elastic member 20 is turned upside down as indicated by an arrow X with reference to the first plate 10, the opening surface 1a becomes the back surface and the back surface 1b becomes the opening surface. As a result, the form of the back surface 1b of the cover member 1 can be changed to the form of the opening surface 1a.

この実施の形態に係るカバー部材１は、電子機器２の電池収納部に電池を入れた状態にて電子機器２に取り付けることにより電池蓋２５として機能するものである。このため、電子機器２に、カバー部材１以外に、電池の脱落を防止するための別の蓋を必要としない。ただし、カバー部材１が電池蓋２５を兼ねることは、必須ではない。電子機器２の電池収納部に、専用の電池蓋を備え、その上からカバー部材１を取り付けても良い。以後の各実施の形態においても同様である。   The cover member 1 according to this embodiment functions as a battery lid 25 by being attached to the electronic device 2 in a state where a battery is inserted in the battery housing portion of the electronic device 2. For this reason, in addition to the cover member 1, the electronic device 2 does not require a separate lid for preventing the battery from dropping off. However, it is not essential that the cover member 1 also serves as the battery lid 25. The battery housing part of the electronic device 2 may be provided with a dedicated battery lid, and the cover member 1 may be attached thereto. The same applies to the following embodiments.

（２）電子機器用カバー部材の製造方法
第一プレート１０は、板材からの切り出しの他、例えば、金型内に溶融樹脂を射出して成形する射出成形法、軟化させた板状の樹脂を金型内で型締めする成形法にても好適に製造できる。また、後者の成形法の場合には、一方の金型側から減圧する方法、一方の金型側から高圧気体を送気する方法、当該減圧と送気とを組み合わせる方法を用いても良い。弾性部材２０は、例えば、第一プレート１０を金型内にセットして、第一プレート１０の周囲を覆うように、弾性部材２０を構成可能な組成物を供給して、当該組成物を架橋させる方法などにより成形できる。かかる成形法を用いると、第一プレート１０と弾性部材２０とを容易に一体化することができる。なお、第一プレート１０と弾性部材２０との密着性を高めるため、第一プレート１０における弾性部材２０との密着領域に、プライマーを塗布してから金型にセットして、弾性部材２０を構成する組成物を金型内に供給しても良い。また、上記の製造方法以外に、第一プレート１０の片面と弾性部材２０とを一体成形後、残る露出面に弾性部材２０と同じ材料から成るシートを貼り付けて、第一プレート１０の周囲を弾性部材２０とシートにより覆うようにしても良い。 (2) Manufacturing method of cover member for electronic device The first plate 10 is made of, for example, an injection molding method in which a molten resin is injected into a mold and molded, in addition to cutting out from a plate material, a softened plate-like resin It can be suitably manufactured even by a molding method in which a mold is clamped in a mold. In the case of the latter molding method, a method of reducing the pressure from one mold side, a method of supplying high-pressure gas from the one mold side, or a method of combining the pressure reduction and the air supply may be used. For example, the elastic member 20 sets the first plate 10 in a mold, supplies a composition that can constitute the elastic member 20 so as to cover the periphery of the first plate 10, and bridges the composition. It can be formed by the method of making it. When such a molding method is used, the first plate 10 and the elastic member 20 can be easily integrated. In order to improve the adhesion between the first plate 10 and the elastic member 20, the primer is applied to the adhesion region between the first plate 10 and the elastic member 20, and then set in a mold to constitute the elastic member 20. You may supply the composition to make in a metal mold | die. In addition to the above manufacturing method, after integrally molding one side of the first plate 10 and the elastic member 20, a sheet made of the same material as the elastic member 20 is attached to the remaining exposed surface, and the periphery of the first plate 10 is You may make it cover with the elastic member 20 and a sheet | seat.

Note that the second plate 30 may be arranged along the opening end of the side wall 22 in a fragment shape instead of a closed loop shape.

第二プレート３０は、電子機器２の操作面３側（すなわち、内側）にわずかに延出して配置される方が好ましい。第二プレート３０を変形可能なツメ部とすると、電子機器２の取り付けや取り外しが容易であると同時に電子機器２を保持しやすい。また、操作面３側から電子機器２を落下した際に、第二プレート３０が最初にその衝撃を受けることになるため、電子機器２を衝撃から保護しやすい。第二プレート３０は、操作面３側に延出して備える場合には、その逆方向（側壁２２の外方向）にも延出している方が好ましい。図７の領域Ｐの拡大図にて示すように、第二プレート３０が側壁２２の内側および外側の両方向に延出して形成されている場合、矢印Ｚに示すようにカバー部材１を裏返しても、第二プレート３０が側壁２２の内側に延出した状態になる。このため、カバー部材１を裏返しても、上述の保護強化を図ることができる。なお、第二プレート３０が側壁２２の外側に延出する長さ（Ｌ１）と内側に延出する長さ（Ｌ２）を同一にすれば、カバー部材１を表裏いずれの方向に裏返しても、同程度の保護機能を発揮できるメリットが有る。なお、カバー部材１は、第二プレート３０のみを備え、第一プレート１０を備えていなくても良い。   The second plate 30 is preferably arranged so as to slightly extend toward the operation surface 3 side (that is, the inside) of the electronic device 2. When the second plate 30 is a deformable claw portion, the electronic device 2 can be easily attached and detached, and at the same time, the electronic device 2 can be easily held. In addition, when the electronic device 2 is dropped from the operation surface 3 side, the second plate 30 is first subjected to the impact, and thus it is easy to protect the electronic device 2 from the impact. When the second plate 30 is provided to extend to the operation surface 3 side, it is preferable that the second plate 30 also extends in the opposite direction (outward direction of the side wall 22). As shown in the enlarged view of the region P in FIG. 7, when the second plate 30 is formed to extend in both the inside and outside directions of the side wall 22, the cover member 1 can be turned upside down as indicated by the arrow Z. In this state, the second plate 30 extends to the inside of the side wall 22. For this reason, even if the cover member 1 is turned upside down, the above-described strengthening of protection can be achieved. In addition, if the length (L1) that the second plate 30 extends to the outside of the side wall 22 is the same as the length (L2) that extends to the inside, the cover member 1 can be turned upside down. There is a merit that the protection function of the same degree can be demonstrated. The cover member 1 includes only the second plate 30 and may not include the first plate 10.

（２）電子機器用カバー部材の製造方法
第一プレート１０の製造および弾性部材２０と第一プレート１０との一体化については、第一の実施の形態にて説明した製造方法と同様である。第二プレート３０を弾性部材２０に備える場合には、第一プレート１０と共に弾性部材２０と一体化しても良く、あるいは第一プレート１０と弾性部材２０との一体化の後に、第二プレート３０を弾性部材２０に接着剤等を介して貼り付け、あるいは溶着しても良い。 (2) Manufacturing Method of Electronic Device Cover Member The manufacturing of the first plate 10 and the integration of the elastic member 20 and the first plate 10 are the same as the manufacturing method described in the first embodiment. When the second plate 30 is provided in the elastic member 20, it may be integrated with the elastic member 20 together with the first plate 10, or after the integration of the first plate 10 and the elastic member 20, the second plate 30 may be integrated.

Prepare. The second plate 40 has a function of protecting the electronic device 2 against an impact from the side wall 22 in addition to an impact from the operation surface 3 side. However, if the second plate 40 is formed long toward the bottom plate 21, it tends to be a great resistance against turning the cover member 1 upside down. Therefore, it is preferable that the second plate 40 extends from the opening side of the side wall 22 in the direction of the bottom plate 21 so that the cover member 1 is not turned over. Moreover, the 2nd plate 30 with which the cover member 1 which concerns on 3rd embodiment is equipped, and the 2nd plate 40 with which the cover member 1 which concerns on 4th embodiment is united are made into 2nd T-shape.
