Abstract
A housing can be provided, the housing comprising a housing body 2 and a lid 3, wherein the housing body 2 and the lid 3 have a shaft portion Ax1 and a bearing portion Ax2, wherein a side wall W2 has, in a base end region R2, an opposing surface F4 opposing an opposing surface F3 provided to the lid 3, wherein the opposing surface F3 and/or the opposing surface F4 has a projecting portion PR1, wherein the side wall W2 has an opposing surface F2 opposing an opposing surface F1 provided to the lid 3 in an axial direction X, and the opposing surface F1 and the opposing surface F2 are configured to be pressed against each other in the axial direction X at least in a state in which the lid 3 closes an aperture AP.
Claims7
A housing comprising:
- a housing body comprising a bottom wall, and a side wall erected from the bottom wall, wherein the housing body has an aperture opened to oppose the bottom wall;
- and
- a lid for closing the aperture, wherein the lid is connected to the side wall to rotate around a predetermined rotational axis,
- wherein one of the housing body and the lid has a shaft portion and the other one of the housing body and the lid has a bearing portion to support the shaft portion such that the lid rotates around the rotational axis,
- wherein the side wall has, in a base end region to be a rotational axis side, a second opening/closing direction opposing surface opposed in an opening/closing direction of the lid to a first opening/closing direction opposing surface provided to the lid in a state in which the lid closes the aperture,
- wherein the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface has a projecting portion projecting in the opening/closing direction from the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface,
- wherein an amount of projection of the projecting portion in the opening/closing direction is greater than a size of an opening/closing direction gap generated in the opening/closing direction between the shaft portion and the bearing portion, and the shaft portion is configured to be pressed against the bearing portion in the opening/closing direction by the projecting portion being pressed against the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface in the opening/closing direction in a state in which the lid closes the aperture and is held to the housing body,
- wherein the side wall has a second axial direction opposing surface opposed in an axial direction of the rotational axis to a first axial direction opposing surface provided to the lid in a state in which the lid closes the aperture of the housing body,
- wherein the first axial direction opposing surface and the second axial direction opposing surface are configured to be pressed against each other in the axial direction at least in the state in which the lid closes the aperture, and
- wherein the projecting portion is provided only to a part of the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface such that a drainage path connecting an interior of the housing and an exterior of the housing is formed between an upper end of the side wall to be the aperture side and a back surface of the lid opposing the upper end of the side wall in the state in which the lid closes the aperture and is held to the housing body.

- wherein the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface has a projecting portion projecting in the opening/closing direction from the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface,
- wherein an amount of projection of the projecting portion in the opening/closing direction is greater than a size of an opening/closing direction gap generated in the opening/closing direction between the shaft portion and the bearing portion, and the shaft portion is configured to be pressed against the bearing portion in the opening/closing direction by the projecting portion being pressed against the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface in the opening/closing direction in a state in which the lid closes the aperture and is held to the housing body,
- wherein the side wall has a second axial direction opposing surface opposed in an axial direction of the rotational axis to a first axial direction opposing surface provided to the lid in a state in which the lid closes the aperture of the housing body, and
- wherein the projecting portion is provided only to a part of the first opening/closing direction opposing surface and/or the second opening/closing direction opposing surface such that a drainage path connecting an interior of the housing and an exterior of the housing is formed between an upper end of the side wall to be the aperture side and a back surface of the lid opposing the upper end of the side wall in the state in which the lid closes the aperture and is held to the housing body.
