Disclosed is a keyboard cover including: an upper surface cover that is able to cover an upper surface of an instrument body including a keyboard; a front hanging portion that is provided at a front end of the upper surface cover so as to be able to turn into a folded-in state of overlapping with the upper surface cover and that is able to hang down so as to cover a front end surface of the keyboard; and a handle that is provided to the front hanging portion so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the instrument body and is able to be bent to be deformed. The keyboard cover is able to be turned into a storable state by maintaining, with the handle, a state in which the entire keyboard cover is made compact.
Claims17
A keyboard cover comprising:
- an upper surface cover configured to cover at least a portion of an upper surface of an instrument body including a keyboard;
- a front hanging portion provided at a front end of the upper surface cover, the front hanging portion being configured to be folded into a folded-in state of overlapping with the upper surface cover from a state in which the front hanging portion hangs down so as to cover at least a portion of a front end surface of the keyboard;
- and
- a handle provided to the front hanging portion so as to extend in a longitudinal direction of the front hanging portion,
- wherein the handle is configured to be bent to be deformed, and
- wherein the handle is configured, while being bent, to maintain a compact state in which the upper surface cover and the fornt hanging portion are made compact.
