Swing lid structure and electronic apparatus

Abstract

A swing lid structure may include a body having a cavity for holding a predetermined part therein and provided with slots extending in a predetermined direction, a swing lid provided with through holes and capable of covering the cavity of the body, and a support shaft passed through the through holes of the swing lid and slidably fitted in the slots of the body. The swing lid may slide on the body as the support shaft moves in the slots and may turn on the support shaft relative to the body.

1 . A swing lid structure comprising: 
 a body having a cavity for holding a predetermined part therein and provided with slots extending in a predetermined direction;    a swing lid provided with through holes and capable of covering the cavity of the body; and    a support shaft passed through the through holes of the swing lid and slidably fitted in the slots of the body;    wherein the swing lid can slide on the body as the support shaft moves in the slots and can turn on the support shaft relative to the body.    
     
     
         2 . The swing lid structure according to  claim 1 , further comprising a coil spring having a coil, a first arm extending from one of the opposite ends of the coil, and a second arm extending from the other end of the coil; 
 wherein the swing lid slide on the body between an unturnable position where the swing lid cannot turn relative to the body and a turnable position where the lid can turn relative to the body,    the swing lid is provided with a spring retaining part against which the first arm of the coil spring is pressed,    the body is provided with a stopping projection having a first retaining surface against which the second arm of the coil spring is pressed at least in a state where the swing lid is at the turnable position, and a second retaining surface against which the second arm of the coil spring is pressed in a direction from the unturnable position toward the turnable position when the swing lid is at the unturnable position.    
     
     
         3 . The swing lid structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the stopping projection having the first and the second retaining surface has a stopping surface for restraining the swing lid at the unturnable position from turning relative to the body.  
     
     
         4 . The swing lid structure according to  claim 2 , wherein the first and the second retaining surface extend perpendicularly to each other, and 
 the first and the second retaining surface are connected by an inclined surface inclined to the first and the second retaining surface such that the second arm of the coil spring slides along the inclined surface when the swing lid slides on the body.    
     
     
         5 . An electronic apparatus comprising: 
 a body having a cavity for holding a predetermined part therein and provided with slots extending in a predetermined direction;    a swing lid provided with through holes and capable of covering the cavity of the body; and    a support shaft passed through the through holes of the swing lid and slidably fitted in the slots of the body;    wherein the swing lid can slide on the body as the support shaft moves in the slots and can turn on the support shaft relative to the body.
