  • Patent number: 10869400
    Abstract: A case is provided with a drainage channel that smoothly drains water while also being able to suppress the intrusion of water into a housing space. The case includes a first case body in which a channel extending from a region serving as the housing space is formed. The channel includes a first channel portion having one end side connected to a first outlet and another end side connected to a second outlet, and a second channel portion connects the first channel portion and the housing space. Out of the opening edges of the second channel portion that face the first channel portion, a second-side opening edge, which is the edge on the second outlet side of the first channel portion, is located nearer to the housing space than a first-side opening edge, which is the edge on the first outlet side of the first channel portion, is.
