Description

【考案の詳細な説明】 （産業上の利用分野） 本考案は、プリンタ等の電子機器の筐体に関す
る。[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a housing for an electronic device such as a printer.

（従来の技術） 従来のプリンタの筐体は、アツパカバーと、こ
のアツパカバーに取り付ける操作盤とからなる。(Prior Art) The housing of a conventional printer consists of a top cover and an operation panel attached to the top cover.

操作盤の取付構造としては、アツパカバーの内
部から機械ネジを用いて取り付ける一般的な構造
や、操作盤にプラスチツク弾性の爪を設けて、ア
ツパカバーの外部から挿入し、ワンタツチで取り
付けるなどの構造となつていた。 The operation panel can be mounted from the inside of the top cover using mechanical screws, which is a general structure, or the operation panel has elastic plastic claws that can be inserted from the outside of the top cover and installed with one touch. was.

（考案が解決しようとする問題点） 前述した従来の取付構造の場合、ネジ止め構造
によるネジ止めの作業や、取付後の操作力による
強度などを設計段階において配慮する必要があ
る。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the case of the conventional mounting structure described above, it is necessary to consider the screw-fastening work of the screw-fastening structure and the strength due to the operating force after mounting, etc. at the design stage.

また、プラスチツク弾性の爪部を設けた操作盤
では、操作盤自体でその爪部を外観に現われない
ように隠すために操作盤の表面にラベルを貼り付
けて被う必要や、外観形状が限定されてしまうな
どデザイン設計上支障がある。 In addition, for operation panels equipped with plastic elastic claws, it is necessary to cover the surface of the operation panel with a label to hide the claws so that they do not appear on the operation panel itself, and the external shape is limited. This poses a problem in terms of design.

更に、操作盤を取り付けるにはアツパカバー側
に大きな穴を設けるためにアツパカバー自体の強
度が下がつてしまうから、操作盤取付時に一体的
な構造にして強度を保つ必要があり、ネジ止めや
爪部による取付構造では強度的に不十分であるな
どの問題があつた。 Furthermore, in order to install the operation panel, large holes are made on the side of the Atsupa cover, which reduces the strength of the Atsupa cover itself, so when installing the operation panel, it is necessary to maintain the strength by making it an integral structure, so there are no screws or claws. There were problems with the mounting structure, such as insufficient strength.
