Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a case for a portable electronic device that is operated from a second direction.

It also relates to a case that protects the panel surface during transportation.

A conventional device of this type is shown in FIG.

In the figure, 1 is a storage box, 2 is a display section of a built-in electronic device, 3 is an operating section, and 4 is a movable handle connected to the main body at a fulcrum 6.

5 is a lid installed to protect the front surface of the storage box 1.

In the structure configured as described above, the movable handle 4 is fixed around the fulcrum 6 at a plurality of locking angles.

When in use, it looks like Figure 1.

When in use, the movable handle 4 is fixed at the bottom as shown in FIG.

During transportation, the movable handle is fixed to the front of the panel as shown in Figure 2.

In FIG. 2, the lid 5 is attached to the panel surface in the state of the case during transportation.

In the conventional system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when operating with the panel surface 2 horizontal, the operation surface 3 becomes vertical, making operation difficult.

Further, there are drawbacks such as the need for a separate lid 5.

Another conventional device of this type is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, 7 is a handle for transportation;
Reference numeral 9 denotes a lid that can be rotated by only 90 degrees around the fulcrum 8, and the operating section 3 is disposed thereon.

The storage box 1 is configured such that the storage box 1 and the lid 9 come into contact when the lid 9 rotates 90 degrees so as to prevent the lid 9 from rotating by more than 90 degrees.

In this configuration, the lid 9 having the operating section 3 rotates 90 degrees around the fulcrum 8, and the display section 2 is covered with the lid 9 during transportation.

This device had a drawback of poor operability since the operating section 3 could not be rotated more than 90 degrees when the display section 2 was used vertically.

This idea was made in order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional ones as mentioned above.
A portable electronic device case that can be rotated over 80 degrees and supports the position of the lid with a movable handle that has multiple locking angles, protecting the display during transportation and allowing operation from both horizontal and vertical directions during use. is intended to provide.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 5, 9 is a lid on which the operating section 3 is mounted, and 8 is provided between it and the storage box 1.

Note that the handle 4 is rotatable around the fulcrum 6;
It has a locking mechanism (not shown) so that it can be fixed appropriately at equal intervals around the circumference.

Next, the operation will be explained.

During transportation, the lid 9 is closed to protect the display section 2.

The handle 4 is locked in a position parallel to the upper and lower surfaces of the storage box 1, making it easier to hold.

When used on a desk, etc., hold the handle 4 at an angle as shown in Figure 6.
is locked, the display section 2 is turned slightly upward, and at the same time, the operation section 3 is kept at an angle that makes it easy to operate from the front.

When used on the floor or the like, the handle 4 is locked at an angle as shown in FIG. 7, and the display section 2 and operation section 3 are kept substantially horizontal, making it easy to operate from the vertical direction.

As described above, according to this invention, since the handle is configured to support the handle at the locked position, the case can be made at low cost.
Moreover, there is an effect that a product with high operability and portability can be obtained.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the case of a conventional portable electronic device;
Figure 2 is a side view of the conventional device shown in Figure 1 during transportation;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of another conventional portable electronic device case.
The figures are a side view showing the conventional case of Fig. 3 in use, Fig. 5 a perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention, and Figs. 6 and 7 are side views of Fig. 5, respectively. In the figure, 1 is a storage box, 3 is an operating section, 4 is a movable handle,
9 is a lid, and 6 is a fulcrum. Note that the same reference numerals in each figure indicate the same or corresponding parts.
