Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a casing that houses a central processing device and an external storage device constituting a data processing device.

As internal electronic components become more highly integrated, the casings that house them tend to become smaller and thinner in cosmetic data processing devices, especially the central processing units and external storage devices that make up the devices. It is in.

In addition, when introducing the device into an office, etc., the above-mentioned thin case is required so that it can be installed next to a general-purpose office desk and work can be done easily, and in order to minimize the area occupied on the floor. be done.

However, the thinner housing is prone to tipping over due to a slight unnecessary external force, resulting in damage to the expensive central processing unit and external storage device housed inside. Furthermore, the same problem as described above occurs when transporting the thinned housing to another installation location.

1. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its main purpose is to provide a central processing unit and an external storage device that constitute a data processing device at the bottom of the casing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a storage casing equipped with an overturn prevention device that prevents the casing from overturning during installation or transportation of a body, and is attached so that it can be stored when not in use.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be described in detail along with examples.

Dando Kanba Figure 1 shows a central processing unit constituting a data processing apparatus equipped with a fall prevention device for explaining Embodiment I of the present invention.
A casing that houses an external storage device (hereinafter simply referred to as the casing)
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the case when the fall prevention device provided in the casing shown in FIG. 1 is activated (in use).

Incidentally, in all sections in this embodiment and other embodiments, those having the same functions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and repeated explanation thereof will be omitted.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a housing made of steel, hard plastic, etc., for housing the central processing unit, external storage device, etc. (not shown) that constitute the data processing device. It is something. This housing l is
For example, they are designed to be thin so that they can be installed next to a general-purpose office desk for easy work, and to minimize the area occupied on the floor of an office or the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes an operating section provided in a predetermined portion of the housing 1, and is used to operate the central processing unit, external storage device, etc. housed inside the operating section. Reference numeral 3 denotes a fall prevention device provided at the bottom of the casing 1, and is used to prevent the casing 1 from falling due to unexpected external force during installation or transportation. Although not shown, a fall prevention device 3 is also provided on the opposite side of the housing 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fall prevention device 3 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the casing 1, and is located between fulcrums in the TIJ direction at the bottom of the casing 1. By increasing the distance as necessary, the housing 1 can be installed without falling over. Furthermore, when installed between general-purpose office desks, etc., it can be stored so that it does not have to perform this function. 4A is a caster provided at the bottom of the casing 1; 4B is a caster provided on the casing 1 via the fall prevention device 3;
It is a conveyance means for conveying.

Next, a specific configuration of the fall prevention device will be explained.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a fall prevention device for explaining embodiment (2) of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the fall prevention mechanism when the fall prevention mechanism shown in FIG. 3 is activated. In addition, the third
The figure is a view seen from the direction of arrow 111 in FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a view seen from the direction of arrow IV force in FIG. 2.

In FIGS. 3 and 4, 3A is a predetermined IJ3 of the housing l.
It is a rotating leg that is attached to the storage section 3B of the E section so that it can be stored freely, and when the casing 1 is installed or transported, the rotating leg 3A is used to widen the distance between the supporting points in the rjj direction at the bottom of the casing 1. It is configured to operate in the direction of the arrow in Figure 2. 3C is a support shaft supported by the casing 1 via one end of the rotary leg 3A, and is used to rotatably support the rotary leg 3A on the casing 1. 3D is rotating leg 3
This is a stopper provided on a predetermined side of A with a cushion 3E interposed therebetween, and is for reliably storing the rotary leg 3A in the storage portion 3B. Further, as the stopper 3D, a removable adsorption means such as a magnet may be used that does not affect the internal device so that the rotary leg 3A is inadvertently rotated and the fall prevention device 3 is not activated. 3F is a square hole provided in a predetermined part of the rotary leg 3A, and 3G is a leaf spring provided in a predetermined part of the casing 1. When the rotary leg 3A is stored, the end of the rotary leg 3A is pressed and rotated. During use, the rotary leg 3A is held in a predetermined position by fitting into the square hole 3F. Thereby, the function of the fall prevention device 3 is maintained.

3H is a screw that attaches the leaf spring 3G to the housing 1. 3
(2) is a support portion that rotatably supports the caster 4B on the rotary leg 3A. Furthermore, the corner of one end of the rotary leg 3A, that is, the end on the side of the support shaft 3C, may be removed as shown at point 1fAL in FIG.

Figures 5 and 6 are schematic diagrams of a fall prevention device for explaining embodiment (2) of the present invention. The fall prevention device shown in FIG. 6 is a modification of the fall prevention device shown in FIG.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, 5 is a fall prevention device.

5A is a slide leg provided in a storage section at a predetermined bottom of the casing 1. When not in use, it is stored in the casing 1, and when used, it can be pulled out from the bottom of the casing 1 to the side to make the bottom lIJ more visible. It is made wider to prevent the casing 1 from falling over. 5B is a slide hole provided in the slide leg 5A, and 5C is a support shaft fixedly supported on the housing 1 through the slide hole 5B, and by fitting these, the slide leg 5A can be slid and held as desired. It is designed to maintain the function of the fall prevention device.

At the bottom of the casing that houses the central processing unit and external storage device that make up the data processing device, the distance between the fulcrums in the width direction of the bottom is made wider to prevent the casing from tipping over. By providing the device, the stability of the casing during installation or transportation can be improved, so it is possible to prevent damage to the device housed inside due to overturning due to unexpected external force.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and it goes without saying that various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the fall prevention device is configured with two rotating legs or sliding legs on the housing, but the fall prevention device may also be configured with one, three or more rotating legs or sliding legs. good.
