DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cabinet for electric equipment having a label sticking portion for sticking a label at a predetermined position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an information label for indicating a rating or the like is attached to a predetermined position such as a rear surface of a cabinet of an electric device such as a television receiver or a monitor device.

FIG. 6 is a plan view showing a label sticking portion in a cabinet of such a conventional electric device, and FIG.
It is CC sectional view taken on the line of FIG.

[0004] In FIG.
A label sticking portion 62 is formed on the back of 1. A label 63 for indicating a rating or the like is attached to the label attaching section 62. The label attaching portion 62 is formed slightly larger in size than the label 63 to be attached.

In FIG. 7, a label attaching surface 71 of a label attaching section 62 is formed to be a smooth surface. An adhesive 66 is applied to the back surface of the label 63. The label 63 is attached to the label attaching surface 71 by the adhesive 66.

Here, in the case of electrical equipment such as a color monitor for a computer, the number of items to be displayed on the label 63 tends to increase in response to multifunctionalization. For this reason, the dimensions of the label 63 have been increased. When the label 63 having a large area is attached to the label attaching surface 71 formed on a smooth surface, there is a high possibility that the air 67 is sealed between the label attaching surface 71 and the label 63. Such air 67 becomes bubbles 68 to locally expand the label 63. In the label 63 affixed with the air 67 sealed therein, the air 67 sealed in the bubbles 68 expands due to the temperature rise, and the swelling due to the air 67 becomes larger. As a result, the adhesion between the label 63 and the label attaching surface 71 becomes insufficient, and the label attaching surface 71
Label 63 has come off. Further, the label 6 affixed in such a state that the air 67 is sealed therein.
No. 3 impaired the appearance quality of the device.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view showing a label sticking portion of a cabinet of another conventional electric device, and shows a cross section at a position corresponding to line CC in FIG.

In FIG. 8, reference numeral 81 denotes a cabinet,
Reference numeral 82 denotes a label sticking unit. A concave grain pattern 92 is formed on a label attaching surface 91 of the label attaching section 82. The concave grain pattern 92 is formed by forming a plurality of concave portions (concave surfaces) independently on the label attaching surface 91. The label 63 is attached to the label attaching surface 91 by the adhesive 66.

In the cabinet 81, the air 87 sealed between the label attaching surface 91 and the label 63 can be released to some extent by forming the concave grain pattern 92. In the attached state, since each concave portion of the concave grain pattern 92 is formed independently, air from each concave portion does not move, and when the enclosed air 87 expands due to heat, the conventional structure shown in FIG. Although not as usual, the label 63 is locally swollen.

In response to such a problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
In the cabinet of the device described in Japanese Patent No. 105067,
It discloses a groove in which a groove is formed in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction in a label attaching position, and a vent hole penetrating a wall surface of the cabinet is formed in the label attaching position.

[0011] In such a cabinet of the conventional equipment, there is no airtight space between the label-attaching surface and the label, so that excess air between the label-attaching surface and the label passes through the groove. The label can be released by the pores, which solves the problem that the label swells locally.However, since the groove is formed by a relatively long straight line, if the label is scratched with a claw, the label will dent along the groove and be damaged. Problem.

[0012]

In the above-mentioned cabinet of the conventional equipment, the groove and the ventilation hole allow excess air entering between the label attaching surface and the label to escape to prevent the label from locally expanding. However, since the groove is formed in a straight line, there is a problem in that the label is depressed along the groove and easily scratched with a nail.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned problems, and can prevent the label from locally swelling due to air bubbles interposed between the label-attaching surface of the cabinet and the label. The object of the present invention is to provide a cabinet of electrical equipment without any.
