H05K: PRINTED CIRCUITS; CASINGS OR CONSTRUCTIONAL DETAILS OF ELECTRIC APPARATUS; MANUFACTURE OF ASSEMBLAGES OF ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ## Abstract A covering lid includes a first plate portion provided with plural insertion portions into which a screw portion of a fastener having the screw portion and a head portion having a diameter larger than the screw portion is inserted and having a first surface facing an inside of a device and a second surface facing an outside of the device, the first plate portion being fixed by the plural fasteners of which the screw portion is inserted into each of the plural insertion portions so as to cover an opening of a device housing extending upward, downward, and rightward, and leftward; and a second plate portion extending apart from the first plate portion to a second surface side of the first plate portion so as to face at least some insertion portions on the same upper, lower, left, or right side of the opening among the plural insertion portions, being removed from the device housing, and being provided with a hook portion hooked to the fastener attached to the device housing in a state where the first surface faces the outside of the device and in a state where the head portion is apart from a surface of the device housing. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A covering lid comprising: a first plate portion provided with a plurality of

inserted with a screw portion of a fastener having the screw portion and a head portion with a diameter larger than that of the screw portion so that the first plate portion is fixed by the fasteners and covers an opening of a device housing extending upward, downward, and rightward, and leftward; and a second plate portion extending apart from the first plate portion to a second surface side of the first plate portion so as to face at least some insertion portions on a same upper, lower, left, or right side of the opening among the plurality of insertion portions, being removed from the device housing, and being provided with a hook portion hooked to the fastener attached to the device housing in a state where the first surface faces the outside of the device and in a state where the head portion is apart from a surface of the device housing. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The covering lid according to claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of insertion portions includes a first opening portion in which the screw portion is inserted into the insertion portion and that blocks passage of the head portion, and a second opening portion that is connected to a lower portion of the first opening portion and allows the head portion to pass therethrough. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The covering lid according to claim 1, wherein a gap equal to or larger than a thickness dimension of the head portion is provided between the first plate portion and the second plate portion. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The covering lid according to claim 2, wherein a gap equal to or larger than a thickness dimension of the head portion is provided between the first plate portion and the second plate portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The covering lid according to claim 2, wherein the hook portion includes a third opening portion that is provided at a position overlapping the first opening portion in an insertion direction of the screw portion and allows the head portion to pass therethrough, and a fourth opening portion that is connected to an upper side of the third opening portion, allows the screw portion to pass therethrough, and blocks the passage of the head portion. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The covering lid according to claim 3, wherein the hook portion includes a third opening portion that is provided at a position overlapping the first opening portion in an insertion direction of the screw portion and allows the head portion to pass therethrough, and a fourth opening portion that is connected to an upper side of the third opening portion, allows the screw portion to pass therethrough, and blocks the passage of the head portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 4) The covering lid according to claim 4, wherein the hook portion includes a third opening portion that is provided at a position overlapping the first opening portion in an insertion direction of the screw portion and allows the head portion to pass therethrough, and a fourth opening portion that is connected to an upper side of the third opening portion, allows the screw portion to pass therethrough, and blocks the passage of the head portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The covering lid according to claim 3, wherein a part of the head portion of the fastener hooked to the hook portion is covered with the first plate portion in a state where the hook portion is hooked to the fastener with the first surface facing the outside of the device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 4) The covering lid according to claim 4, wherein a part of the head portion of the fastener hooked to the hook portion is covered with the first plate portion in a state where the hook portion is hooked to the fastener with the first surface facing the outside of the device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The covering lid according to claim 5, wherein the hook portion includes a fifth opening portion that is a hook hole provided in the second plate portion, the hook hole being connected to a lower side of the third opening portion, and allowing the head portion to be visually recognized in a case where the covering lid is lifted to a position overlapping the head portion in a state where the screw portion is inserted into the insertion hole. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The covering lid according to claim 6, wherein the hook portion includes a fifth opening portion that is a hook hole provided in the second plate portion, the hook hole being connected to a lower side of the third opening portion, and allowing the head portion to be visually recognized in a case where the covering lid is lifted to a position overlapping the head portion in a state where the screw portion is inserted into the insertion hole. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The covering lid according to claim 7, wherein the hook portion includes a fifth opening portion that is a hook hole provided in the second plate portion, the hook hole being connected to a lower side of the third opening portion, and allowing the head portion to be visually recognized in a case where the covering lid is lifted to a position overlapping the head portion in a state where the screw portion is inserted into the insertion hole. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The covering lid according to claim 1, wherein the second plate portion has a shape in which an extension portion of the first plate portion is folded back. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The covering lid according to claim 2, wherein the second plate portion has a shape in which an extension portion of the first plate portion is folded back. ### Claim 15 (depends on 3) The covering lid according to claim 3, wherein the second plate portion has a shape in which an extension portion of the first plate portion is folded back. ### Claim 16 (depends on 4) The covering lid according to claim 4, wherein the second plate portion has a shape in which an extension portion of the first plate portion is folded back. ### Claim 17 (depends on 5) The covering lid according
