A main body cabinet on which a disk device, a circuit board (not shown), etc. are mounted, 2 is a cover that is openably and closably attached to the cabinet, 3 is a slide type handle, 40 is a latch part, 4 is a latch, 5 is a pressing part. is there.

18 and 19 are sectional views taken along the line AA of FIG. 17 and are views for explaining the latch portion. In the figure,
6 is a rotary shaft of the latch 4, 7 is a hook portion, 8 is a latch receiver,
Reference numeral 9 is a spring receiver, and 10 is a spring, which presses the back surface of the pressing portion 5 in the direction of reference numeral A around the rotating shaft 6 to press the hook portion 7 in the direction of reference numeral B and engages with the latch receiver 8 to cover the cover. The closed state of No. 2 is maintained.

FIG. 18 is a view showing a state in which the latch 4 is released when the cover 2 is opened. When the pressing portion 5 is pressed in the direction C, the latch 4 rotates about the rotary shaft 6 in the direction D. The engagement between the hook portion 7 and the latch receiver 8 is released, and the cover 2 can be opened in the direction of the reference numeral E. FIG. 19 shows the cover 2
FIG. 11 is a view showing a use state in which is opened in the direction of reference numeral E, and 11 is a display panel.

[0006]

As described above, in most conventional laptop electronic devices, the handle 3 is of a slide type so that it is convenient to carry, and when it is transported, it is placed horizontally as shown in FIG. After the handle 3 is placed vertically from the used state, the handle 3 is pulled out in the direction of the symbol B by the dimension B, and then the handle C is carried. However, when an external force is applied to the pressing portion 5 of the latch 4 during transportation or the like, the engagement between the hook portion 7 and the latch receiver 8 is released, and the cover 2 is easily opened in the direction indicated by symbol E as shown in FIG. However, there is a problem in that the cover 2 hits another object and is damaged, and the hinge attached to the main body cabinet 1 is also damaged.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and prevents the cover 2 from being easily opened even when the pressing portion 5 is pressed during transportation and the cover 2, An object of the present invention is to obtain a portable device such as a laptop electronic device that prevents damage to the display panel 11 and hinges.

[0008]

In the portable device according to the first aspect of the present invention, even if the pressing portion 5 of the latch portion is pressed during transportation, the engagement between the latch 4 and the latch receiver 8 is held and the cover 2 cannot be opened. As described above, the stopper is attached to the latch portion in conjunction with the pull-out type handle.

Further, in the portable device according to the second invention, the cover 2 is opened even when the latch 4 and the latch receiver 8 are disengaged by pressing the pressing portion 5 of the latch portion when the handle is pulled out and conveyed. The second latch portion is attached so as not to exist.

[0010]

In the portable device according to the first aspect of the invention, the slide for pulling-out type handle that is held during transportation is interlocked with the stopper that holds the engagement of the latch, and even if the pressing portion of the latch portion is pressed during transportation, it is latched. The cover is not opened without being released.

In the portable device of the second invention, a second latch portion for engaging a pull-out type handle held during transportation with a cover is attached, and a pushing portion of the first latch portion is pressed during transportation. The cover is prevented from opening even if the first latch is released.

Example 6. In addition, in the said 1st-5th, although the case of a laptop electronic device was demonstrated as an example, other electronic devices may be used and it is not limited to an electronic device and may be carried. .. In addition, the term "carrying" here does not necessarily mean carrying by hand, but includes carrying by car, machine, or the like.

As a technique related to the present invention, there is a technique disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 64-52287.
As shown in FIG. 16, this technique includes a cover 2 provided on the upper surface of a main body case 1 so as to be openable and closable and the main body case 1
In a portable electronic device having a handle (3) that can be pulled out, a locking protrusion (20) is provided on the back surface of the cover (2).
And a locking projection 21 for engaging with the locking projection 20 when the grip 3 is pulled out from the main body case 1. In addition, the handle 3 is characterized in that it is biased toward the main body case side by the return spring 22.

In this technique, since the cover is not locked unless the handle 3 is pulled out, it is necessary to pull out the handle at the time of transportation, and after the handle 3 is pulled out and transported, the rear surface is turned down and temporarily placed on a stand. In this case, the handle 3 is pulled in by the return spring 22, the lock is released, and the cover 3 opens.

On the other hand, in the portable device according to the first aspect of the present invention, in addition to the latch for holding the cover in the closed state, a stopper interlocking with the handle is provided, and when the latch is accidentally unlocked during transportation, In addition to preventing the cover from opening, the cover is prevented from opening even when the cover is placed with its rear surface facing down as described above. Further, the cover is locked by the latch even if it is transported without pulling out the handle, and it does not open like the related art described above.

In the portable device according to the second aspect of the present invention, the latch for holding the cover in the closed state and the stopper for locking the cover on the handle are further provided as the second latch portion. Even when the lock is released, or even when it is temporarily set up as described above, the cover is prevented from opening, and the problems of the related art described above are prevented.

[0025]

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the stopper interlocked with the pull-out type handle that is held during transportation engages the latch portion even if the pressing portion of the latch portion is pressed during transportation. Is not released, the cover does not open, and a device that does not damage the display panel or hinge is obtained.
