Abstract
A coupling structure for coupling first and second halves into a casing, includes a first coupling element projecting outward from an inner surface of the first casing half and formed with a detachment hole and a second coupling element projecting outward from an inner surface of the second casing half and for engaging with the first coupling element. Insertion of a detachment tool via an opening in the casing and the detachment hole to abut against the second coupling element results in inward bending of the second coupling element with respect to the first coupling element, thereby disengaging the second coupling element from the first coupling element, hence the first casing half disengages from the second casing half.
Claims7
A coupling structure for coupling first and second casing halves into a casing, comprising:
- a detachment tool storable in a tool retention bore formed in said casing;
- an opening formed at an overlapping position of said first and second casing halves of said coupled casing;
- a first coupling element projecting inward from an inner surface of the first casing half and formed with a detachment hole, said detachment hole in open communication with said opening to permit extension of said detachment tool therein;
- and
- a second coupling element projecting inward from an inner surface of the second casing half for engaging the first coupling element;
- wherein said casing is matingly engaged by aligning said first and second casing halves to engage said first and second coupling elements, and disengaged by inserting said detachment tool into said detachment hole through said opening to abut said second coupling element resulting in inward bending of said second coupling element with respect to said first coupling element, thereby disengaging said second coupling element from said first coupling element.
