Furthermore, the upper ends 32T and 32T of the left and right side surfaces 32L and 32R are engaged with the engagement grooves 26 and 26 provided on the inner surface of the waterproof cover 5.

図４に示すように、前記防水カバー５の前板部１８の内面には、前記位置決め凸部４６が係合する係合凹部２７が形成されており、この係合凹部２７を設けた箇所が薄肉部２８であり、この薄肉部２８は前板部１８の他の部分より薄く、透光性に優れたものとなる。 As shown in FIG. 4, an engagement concave portion 27 with which the positioning convex portion 46 is engaged is formed on the inner surface of the front plate portion 18 of the waterproof cover 5. The thin-walled portion 28 is thinner than the other portions of the front plate portion 18 and has excellent translucency.

図２及び図４などに示すように、防水カバー５の下板部１６の下面には、四方に突起状の脚部２９が設けられている。そして、図５などに示すように、脚部２９の下端の位置より、電池蓋６の蓋本体９１の下面が上方に位置し、さらに、防水カバー５の下板部１６の下面の位置より、電池蓋６の蓋本体９１の下面が上方に位置する。従って、防水リモコン１をテーブルなどの被載置面に置いても、電池蓋６が被載置面に接することがない。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 and the like, projecting leg portions 29 are provided on the lower surface of the lower plate portion 16 of the waterproof cover 5 in four directions. Then, as shown in FIG. 5 and the like, the lower surface of the lid body 91 of the battery cover 6 is positioned upward from the position of the lower end of the leg portion 29, and further, from the position of the lower surface of the lower plate portion 16 of the waterproof cover 5, The lower surface of the lid body 91 of the battery lid 6 is positioned upward. Therefore, even if the waterproof remote controller 1 is placed on a placement surface such as a table, the battery lid 6 does not contact the placement surface.

上記のような防水リモコン１においては、製造時にフレーム体３に防水カバー５を被せ、該防水カバー５により電池収納室２以外を覆い、電池収納室２の周囲に形成された溝部７１にカバー側突条７３を嵌入する。このように、カバー側突条７３を溝部７１に挿入することで、フレーム体３に対して防水カバー５の開口縁４Ｆ部分全体が位置決めされるので、この開口縁４Ｆ部分をフレーム体３と電池蓋６とで確実に挟持して高い止水性が得られる。更に、前述した通り、カバー側突条７３に溝部７４が形成され、この溝部７４の外側に外向きの突条部７５が形成され、この突条部７５に電池蓋６が押し付けられるようになっている。このため、突条部７５が電池蓋６によって押されると、突条部７５自身が押し潰されるように弾性変形するばかりでなく、開口縁４Ｆ部分が弾性変形して溝部７４側に押し込まれ易くなっている。従って、開口縁４Ｆ部分が溝部７４側に弾性変形する分、突条部７５の高さを高くすることができる。この結果、突条部７５と電池蓋６とが水密に密着できる締付範囲（換言すれば、フレーム体３と電池蓋６との距離範囲）を広くすることができる。即ち、螺子体９２，９２を緩く締め付けても（フレーム体３と電池蓋６とがやや離れていても）、突条部７５の高さが高いため、この突条部７５の先端が電池蓋６に水密に密着する。一方、螺子体９２，９２をきつく締め付けると、開口縁４Ｆ部分が溝部７４側に押し込まれるので、突条部７５の高さが高くても、奥まで締め付けることができる。この結果、広い締付範囲で突条部７５と電池蓋６とを水密に密着させることができるので、防水性を向上させることができる。 In the waterproof remote controller 1 as described above, the frame body 3 is covered with the waterproof cover 5 at the time of manufacture, and the waterproof cover 5 covers other than the battery storage chamber 2, and the groove portion 71 formed around the battery storage chamber 2 covers the cover side. The ridge 73 is inserted. Thus, by inserting the cover-side protrusion 73 into the groove portion 71, the entire opening edge 4F portion of the waterproof cover 5 is positioned with respect to the frame body 3, so that the opening edge 4F portion is used as the frame body 3 and the battery. A high water-stopping property is obtained by securely holding the lid 6. Further, as described above, the groove 74 is formed in the cover-side protrusion 73, the outward protrusion 75 is formed outside the groove 74, and the battery lid 6 is pressed against the protrusion 75. ing. For this reason, when the protrusion 75 is pushed by the battery lid 6, the protrusion 75 itself is not only elastically deformed so as to be crushed, but the opening edge 4F is elastically deformed and easily pushed into the groove 74. It has become. Therefore, the height of the protrusion 75 can be increased by the amount of elastic deformation of the opening edge 4F portion toward the groove 74. As a result, it is possible to widen the tightening range (in other words, the distance range between the frame body 3 and the battery lid 6) in which the protrusion 75 and the battery lid 6 can be in close contact with each other in a watertight manner. That is, even if the screw bodies 92, 92 are loosely tightened (even if the frame body 3 and the battery cover 6 are slightly separated), the height of the protrusion 75 is high, so that the tip of the protrusion 75 is the battery cover. 6 is watertight. On the other hand, when the screw bodies 92, 92 are tightened, the opening edge 4F portion is pushed into the groove 74 side, so that even if the height of the protrusion 75 is high, it can be tightened to the back. As a result, the protrusion 75 and the battery lid 6 can be tightly adhered in a wide tightening range, so that waterproofness can be improved.

電池６３の交換後に、前後の螺子体９２をボス部５３，５３に螺合させて電池収納室２に電池蓋６を取り付けると、防水カバー５の開口縁４Ｆ部分が、電池蓋６の周囲内面と電池収納室２の周囲の下面外側部８１との間に挟着されるため、防水性の高い構造が得られる。 After the battery 63 is replaced, when the front and rear screw bodies 92 are screwed into the boss portions 53 and 53 and the battery cover 6 is attached to the battery storage chamber 2, the opening edge 4 F portion of the waterproof cover 5 is the inner peripheral surface of the battery cover 6. And a lower outer portion 81 around the battery storage chamber 2, a highly waterproof structure is obtained.

Water entry into the frame body 3 can be prevented by a waterproof structure having a short contact length at a location.

また、前記防水カバー５の内面の開口縁４Ｆ部分に凸部たるカバー側突条７３が形成され、前記フレーム体３の前記電池収納室２の外側に、前記カバー側突条７３に対応して凹部たる溝部７１が形成されると共に、前記カバー側突条７３と前記溝部７１が係合することで、前記防水カバー５の開口縁４Ｆ部分が前記フレーム体３に対して位置決めされるように構成したから、前記防水カバー５の開口縁４Ｆ部分を確実に前記フレーム体３と電池蓋６とで挟持して、前記フレーム体３への水の浸入を確実に防止することができる。 Further, a cover-side ridge 73 is formed on the opening edge 4F portion of the inner surface of the waterproof cover 5, and is formed on the outer side of the battery housing chamber 2 of the frame body 3 so as to correspond to the cover-side ridge 73. A groove portion 71 that is a recess is formed, and the opening edge 4F portion of the waterproof cover 5 is positioned with respect to the frame body 3 by engaging the cover side protrusion 73 and the groove portion 71. Therefore, the opening edge 4F portion of the waterproof cover 5 can be securely sandwiched between the frame body 3 and the battery lid 6 to reliably prevent water from entering the frame body 3.

また、前記カバー側突条７３が、前記開口縁４Ｆ部分の全周に渡って形成されると共に、前記溝部７１が、前記電池収納室２の全周を囲むように形成されているから、前記防水カバー５の開口縁４Ｆ部分全体が前記フレーム体３に対して確実に位置決めされ、前記防水カバー５の開口縁４Ｆ部分全体を確実に前記フレーム体３と電池蓋６とで挟持して、前記フレーム体３への水の浸入を確実に防止することができる。 In addition, the cover-side protrusion 73 is formed over the entire periphery of the opening edge 4F portion, and the groove 71 is formed so as to surround the entire periphery of the battery storage chamber 2. The entire opening edge 4F portion of the waterproof cover 5 is reliably positioned with respect to the frame body 3, the entire opening edge 4F portion of the waterproof cover 5 is securely held between the frame body 3 and the battery lid 6, and It is possible to reliably prevent water from entering the frame body 3.

また、前記フレーム体３に凹段部５６が形成され、この凹段部５６に前記電池収納室２が設けられると共に、前記フレーム体３に取付けた状態で前記電池蓋６の外面が対応する前記防水カバー５の外面より内側に位置するから、例えば、前記電池蓋６の厚さ寸法が、前記凹段部５６の段差寸法以下とされることにより、リモコンをテーブル等に置いた際に前記電池蓋６がテーブル等に触れないようにして、このテーブル等が傷つかないようにすることができる。 The frame body 3 is provided with a recessed step portion 56, the battery housing chamber 2 is provided in the recessed step portion 56, and the outer surface of the battery lid 6 corresponds to the outer surface of the battery cover 6 attached to the frame body 3. Since the battery cover 6 is located on the inner side of the outer surface of the waterproof cover 5, for example, the thickness dimension of the battery lid 6 is set to be equal to or smaller than the step dimension of the recessed step portion 56, so that the battery is placed when the remote control is placed on a table or the like. By preventing the lid 6 from touching the table or the like, the table or the like can be prevented from being damaged.

また、前記防水カバー５が、伸縮性及び可撓性を有する材質により形成されると共に、前記開口部４の開口面積が拡張した状態で前記フレーム体３が前記防水カバー５内に挿入可能な構造であるから、前記防水カバー５の開口縁４Ｆ部分と電池蓋６との接触長さを最小限として、前記フレーム体３への水の浸入をより確実に防止することができる。 The waterproof cover 5 is formed of a material having elasticity and flexibility, and the frame body 3 can be inserted into the waterproof cover 5 in a state where the opening area of the opening 4 is expanded. Therefore, the contact length between the opening edge 4F portion of the waterproof cover 5 and the battery lid 6 can be minimized to prevent water from entering the frame body 3 more reliably.

また、前記フレーム体３が光信号発信部たるＬＥＤ４４を有すると共に、前記防水カバー５の前板部１８が、前記ＬＥＤ４４が発する光に対し透光性を有する材料で形成されるから、前記防水カバー５に継ぎ目を作る必要がなく、前記フレーム体３への水の浸入をより確実に防止することができる。 In addition, the frame body 3 includes the LED 44 that is an optical signal transmitter, and the front plate portion 18 of the waterproof cover 5 is formed of a material that is transparent to the light emitted by the LED 44.
