Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial application field> This invention relates to instrument casings, and more specifically, it is used to store consumable parts used in instruments, such as fuses, recording pen nibs, recording paper, etc. This invention relates to a casing for instruments that can store equipment cases for storage.

<Conventional technology> Conventionally, various instruments including navigational instruments always come with consumable parts such as fuses, recording pen nibs, and recording paper, and these parts are generally stored in equipment cases, etc. It is stored and stored.

<Conventional Problems> By the way, many of the above-mentioned consumable parts are small in size, and therefore the equipment cases are also made to be small accordingly, which makes it easy for them to be lost when they get mixed up with other items during storage. There were times when I felt extremely inconvenienced.

Moreover, the fuse, the nib of the recording pen, etc.
Although it is a consumable part, it does not need to be replaced very often, and as a result, the storage period becomes long and there is a problem that the above-mentioned risk of powder loss increases.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In view of the above-mentioned problems, this invention eliminates the risk of equipment cases that store small consumable parts being lost even during long-term storage; The purpose of this invention is to provide a casing for instruments that can also be used for maintenance of instruments.

<Technology that solved the problem> The instrument casing of this invention has a recessed part formed on the outer surface into which the equipment case can be fitted, and a sponge layer that can be compressed and deformed on the side surface is provided inside the recessed part. The equipment case is characterized in that the sponge layer is compressively deformed and fitted into the equipment case so as to be removable.

<Example> Next, this invention will be explained using examples.

FIG. 1 is a front view of an embodiment of this invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view cut along the line -- in FIG. The instrument casing of this invention is a casing 1A for various instruments 1 such as navigational instruments and surveying instruments, and a recessed portion 3 having an inner volume into which an equipment case 2 can be fitted is formed on the outer surface of the casing 1A. An equipment case 2 having a compressively deformable sponge layer 4 on its side surface 2A is fitted into the recess 3 so that the sponge layer 4 can be compressed and deformed to be taken out.

In the above embodiment, the recessed portion 3 into which the equipment case 2 is fitted is provided on the front side of the casing 1A, but it may be provided on both side surfaces 1A' and the upper surface 1A''.

In addition, the equipment case 2, as shown in FIG.
It is desirable to have a structure that can be fitted and closed with the fitting lid 2B.

The sponge layer 4 is desirably as thick as possible, with a thickness d depending on the relationship between the size of the recess 3 and the size of the equipment case 2.

<Function> The equipment case 2 that houses the fuse and the nib of the recording pen (not shown) is connected to the casing 1 of the instruments 1.
Since the sponge layer 4 is compressively deformed and stored in the recess 3 formed at A, the equipment case 2 is held within the recess 3 due to the elastic repulsive force and will not recess unless an external force is applied to take it out. It will be stored in the recess 3.

In addition, the sponge layer 4 provided in the equipment case 2 is
When the equipment case 2 is taken out from the recess 3, it will be restored to its original state, so this sponge layer 4 can also be used as a cleaning brush, as shown in FIG. It can also be used as a cleaning tool.

<Effects> Since this idea is structured as described above,
Instrument accessories are integrally attached to the instrument casing 1A, eliminating any risk of loss. At the same time, the equipment case 2 can also be used as a cleaning brush by using the sponge layer 4 provided on the outside, making it possible to use it for multiple purposes.

Furthermore, equipment case 2 is instrument casing 1.
Since it is fitted integrally with A, there is no need for a separate storage space, and it has various practical effects such as being able to be stored compactly.
