The coil spring member 15 is a spring member that is inserted into the shaft member 14, and has one end 15 a abutting against the main body 1 and the other end 15 b abutting against the support member 11, thereby applying a biasing force in the direction in which the lid 5 is opened 11 is given. The terminal plate 6 is fixed to the slide plate 10.

図４、５は蓋体５のスライド動作を説明する図である。図８は図４を破線で破断した断面図である。図４は、蓋体５を完全に閉じた状態を示している。この状態では、図８に示すように、鉤片５ａが爪片４ａの横板４ａ−１の下側に嵌まっている。鉤片５ｂと爪片４ｂも同様に嵌まっている。図８にて、蓋体５には貫通孔５ｃが形成されている。ロックレバー１２の操作釦１２ｃ（操作部）は使用者が操作できるように貫通孔５ｃから突出している。 4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining the sliding operation of the lid 5. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. 4 taken along the broken line. FIG. 4 shows a state in which the lid 5 is completely closed. In this state, as shown in FIG. 8, the collar piece 5a is fitted on the lower side of the horizontal plate 4a-1 of the claw piece 4a. The collar piece 5b and the claw piece 4b are fitted in the same manner. In FIG. 8, a through hole 5 c is formed in the lid 5. The operation button 12c (operation unit) of the lock lever 12 protrudes from the through hole 5c so that the user can operate it.

図４の状態からロックレバー１２の操作釦１２ｃを図中上方向に押し上げると、図５に示す状態に蓋体５をスライド移動させることができる。図４の状態から図５の状態にスライドさせることで、鉤片５ａと爪片４ａとの係合と、鉤片５ｂと爪片４ｂとの係合が解除され、蓋体５はコイルバネ部材１５の付勢力によって蓋体５は開き方向に開く。 When the operation button 12c of the lock lever 12 is pushed upward from the state shown in FIG. 4, the lid 5 can be slid to the state shown in FIG. By sliding from the state of FIG. 4 to the state of FIG. 5, the engagement between the collar piece 5 a and the claw piece 4 a and the engagement between the collar piece 5 b and the claw piece 4 b are released, and the lid body 5 is a coil spring member 15. The lid 5 is opened in the opening direction by the urging force.

図６は図４の状態における蓋体５の支持部材１１とロックレバー１２の関係を説明する図である。ロックレバー１２には、規制片１２ａ（規制部）が突出形成されている。図６の状態では規制片１２ａは、支持部材１１の係合部１１ａと係合した状態でバネ部材１３で付勢されている。したがって、図６の状態では蓋体５をスライドさせることはできない。図６状態で蓋体５をスライドするには、ロックレバー１２をバネ部材１３で付勢力に抗して、図６の上方向に移動させて、規制片１２ａと係合部１１ａとの係合を解除しなければならない。図７は図５の状態における蓋体５の支持部材１１とロックレバー１２の関係を説明する図である。図７の状態では規制片１２ａは、支持部材１１の係合部１１ｄと係合した状態でバネ部材１３で付勢されている。したがって、図７の状態では蓋体５をスライドさせることはできない。図７の状態で蓋体５をスライドするには、ロックレバー１２をバネ部材１３で付勢力に抗して、図７の上方向に移動させて、規制片１２ａと係合部１１ｄとの係合を解除しなければならない。なお、規制片１２ａと係合部１１ｄとの係合が規制片１２ａと係合部１１ａとの係合よりも浅く設定されている。 FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the relationship between the support member 11 of the lid 5 and the lock lever 12 in the state of FIG. The lock lever 12 is formed with a restricting piece 12a (a restricting portion) protruding. In the state of FIG. 6, the regulating piece 12 a is urged by the spring member 13 in a state of being engaged with the engaging portion 11 a of the support member 11. Therefore, the lid 5 cannot be slid in the state of FIG. To slide the lid 5 in the state of FIG. 6, the lock lever 12 is moved upward in FIG. 6 against the urging force by the spring member 13, and the engagement between the restricting piece 12a and the engaging portion 11a is performed. Must be released. FIG. 7 is a view for explaining the relationship between the support member 11 of the lid 5 and the lock lever 12 in the state of FIG. In the state of FIG. 7, the regulating piece 12 a is urged by the spring member 13 in a state of being engaged with the engaging portion 11 d of the support member 11. Therefore, the lid 5 cannot be slid in the state of FIG. In order to slide the lid 5 in the state of FIG. 7, the lock lever 12 is moved upward in FIG. 7 against the urging force by the spring member 13, and the engagement between the restricting piece 12a and the engaging portion 11d. You must release the match. The engagement between the restriction piece 12a and the engaging portion 11d is set shallower than the engagement between the restriction piece 12a and the engagement portion 11a.

図９は、蓋体５を開いた状態から閉じ方向に回動し、図５の状態となる直前の状態を図５の左側から見た図である。図９では蓋５を省略している。蓋体５を閉じ方向に回動させると、ロックレバー１２に形成されるロック解除部１２ｄが電池収容室４の上端面に形成される突出片４ｂ（突出部）に設けられた斜面４ｃに当接する。さらに、蓋体５を閉じ方向に回動させると、ロック解除部１２ｄが斜面４ｃに当接することで、ロックレバー１２が図９中の左方向に押され、図７に示すロックレバー１２の規制片１２ａが支持部材１１の係合部１１ｄから外れる。規制片１２ａと係合部１１ｄとの係合している状態からその係合が解除されるまでの規制片１２ａの移動量は、規制片１２ａと係合部１１ａとの係合している状態からその係合が解除されるまでの規制片１２ａの移動量よりも小さく設定されている。これは、蓋体５を閉じ方向に回動させたときに、ロック解除部１２ｄが斜面４ｃ上を滑って、規制片１２ａと係合部１１ｄとの係合を解除するまでロックレバー１２を変位させるように設定されているからである。 FIG. 9 is a view of the state immediately before the state of FIG. 5 is reached from the left side of FIG. In FIG. 9, the lid 5 is omitted. When the lid 5 is rotated in the closing direction, the unlocking portion 12d formed on the lock lever 12 contacts the inclined surface 4c provided on the projecting piece 4b (projecting portion) formed on the upper end surface of the battery housing chamber 4. Touch. Further, when the lid 5 is rotated in the closing direction, the lock release portion 12d comes into contact with the inclined surface 4c, so that the lock lever 12 is pushed in the left direction in FIG. 9, and the restriction of the lock lever 12 shown in FIG. The piece 12 a is disengaged from the engaging portion 11 d of the support member 11. The amount of movement of the restricting piece 12a from the state where the restricting piece 12a and the engaging portion 11d are engaged until the engagement is released is the state where the restricting piece 12a and the engaging portion 11a are engaged. Is set smaller than the amount of movement of the restricting piece 12a until the engagement is released. This is because when the lid 5 is rotated in the closing direction, the lock release portion 12d slides on the slope 4c, and the lock lever 12 is displaced until the engagement between the restriction piece 12a and the engagement portion 11d is released. This is because it is set to be allowed.

以上説明したように、本実施の形態のように蓋を構成することで、蓋体５が開状態であるときも、閉状態であるときもロックレバー１２の規制片１２ａによって蓋体５のスライド動作をロックすることができる。さらに、ロックレバー１２の一方向の移動によってによって蓋体をいずれの状態のときもロックすることができるので、簡単な構成で構成で確実な動作を実現することができる。 As described above, by configuring the lid as in the present embodiment, the lid 5 can be slid by the restricting piece 12a of the lock lever 12 regardless of whether the lid 5 is open or closed. The operation can be locked. Further, since the lid can be locked in any state by moving the lock lever 12 in one direction, a reliable operation can be realized with a simple configuration.
