And a gripping portion 25 that protrudes in a slightly bent state and is shaped so that the tip is curved corresponding to the shape of the recess 27t of the edge portion 27m, and the rear end portion of the lid portion 32 ( The root portion 32a is fixed to the rear case 26, and is configured to be able to open and close by rotating around the rear end portion 32a as a fulcrum.

  Further, a side wall portion 32b is formed on a side portion of the lid portion 32 on the front case 28 side, for example, and the cover member 24 has a claw portion 32m formed on the front end side of the side wall portion 32b in the closed state. The contact surface 32n of the side wall portion 32b is engaged with the receiving surface 28b formed on the front case 28 and is fitted between the rear case 26 and the front case 28. Thus, the insertion port 23 is closed to prevent intrusion of dust or the like from the insertion port 23.

The cover member 24 is formed such that the grip portion 25 can be bent and deformed at least on the outer side with respect to the lid portion 32.
The cover member 24 is formed so that the grip portion 25 can be bent and deformed toward the inner surface side of the lid portion 32 with respect to the lid portion 32, and the grip portion 25 is gripped and the inner surface side of the lid portion 32 is formed. When an external force of a predetermined size is applied so as to be bent, the size and shape are set so that the distal end portion 25a of the grip portion 25 bends without getting over the distal end portion of the edge portion 27m, and Constituent materials are selected.

Note that a protrusion (not shown) is formed at the tip of the lid portion 32 of the cover member 24, and in the closed state, this protrusion is also formed on the corresponding portion of the edge portion 27 a of the rear case 26. Fits into a groove as a stop. Further, in the closed state, the side portion on the rear case 26 side is pressed from above by a pressing portion formed on the rear case 26.

And a numeric keypad group.

When the cover member 24 is in the closed state, the distal end portion 25a of the grip portion 25 contacts the corner portion (upper end of the inclined surface 27s) 27n of the edge portion 27m of the insertion port 23 on the rear case 26 side. The claw portions formed on the side portions other than the grip portion 25 and the rear end portion 32a engage with the groove portions formed in the corresponding portions of the rear case 26 and the front case 28, so that the rear case 26 and the front case 28 are engaged. It is fitted in the state where the insertion port 23 is covered.
Further, for example, fingers are inserted into the recessed portion 27t, the gripping portion 25 is peeled off from the rear case 26, gripped and lifted, the engagement relationship between the claw portion 32m and the groove portion 28a is released, and the lid portion 32 is moved to the rear. By removing from the case 26 and the front case 28, the memory card M can be inserted and removed.

For example, in order to open the cover member 32, the grip portion 25 is pushed relatively hard in order to grip the grip portion 25. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, for example, the grip portion 25 of the cover member 24 is inserted. When trying to fit into the inside (cover slot 21 side) from the opening 23, the front end surface 25a of the cover member 24 is pressed by the grip portion 25 and elastically deformed at the contact portion between the front end surface 25a and the inclined surface 27s. Since the repulsive force R is received and pushed outward from the edge portion 27m of the case 26 with respect to the plane including the insertion port 23, the cover member 24 is received by receiving the force so that the grip portion 25 is pushed outward. For example, intrusion from the insertion port 23 of the grip portion 25 to the inside is prevented.
Further, even when the gripping portion 25 is pushed in further strongly and deeper, the tip of the edge portion 27m comes into contact with the tip of the gripping portion 25 in a substantially linear shape, so that the prior art is in contact with a substantially planar shape. Easily removed compared to

According to the configuration of this example, when, for example, the grip portion 25 of the cover member 24 is to be fitted into the inside (the cover slot 21 side) from the insertion port 23, the cover portion 24 is covered at the contact portion between the distal end surface 25a and the inclined surface 27s. The distal end surface 25a of the member 24 is pushed by receiving a repulsive force R outward from the edge portion 27m of the rear case 26 that is elastically deformed by being pressed by the grip portion 25. By receiving a force so that the portion 25 is pushed out to the outside, it is possible to avoid the cover member 24 from entering (reducing) from the insertion port 23 of the grip portion 25 into the inside.
Further, even when the distal end portion of the gripping portion 25 penetrates further deeply, the distal end portion of the edge portion 27m comes into contact with the distal end portion of the gripping portion 25 in a substantially linear shape, so that the prior art contacts in a substantially planar shape. Can be easily taken out compared to
