  • Publication number: 20070229775
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a projector in which the fixing of a lamp door is prevented from being hindered by heat of a lamp, and the attachment and detachment of the lamp door can be easily performed. In a projector in which the lamp door covering an opening for lamp exchange formed in a housing is attached detachably, the lamp door includes first, second and third projected parts. The first projected part has a hook formed on the lower side of a tip end portion thereof. The housing includes a first receiving part receiving the first projected part and a second receiving part receiving the second projected part. In a state where the lamp door is attached to the housing, the first projected part of the lamp door is received by an upper surface of the first receiving part of the housing, and the hook formed in this first projected part is engaged with the first receiving part.

  • Patent number: 6325340
    Abstract: A space capable of readily mounting wires having different diameters and reliably preventing displacement of the wires with a simple structure is provided. This spacer is provided with a mounting hole capable of mounting wires having different diameters, and a hook and a hook receiver are provided on opposite end surfaces of a substantially V-shaped release portion. Any wire is fixed by simply inserting the wire into the release portion for mounting the same on the mounting hole and thereafter hanging the hook on the hook receiver. Thus, wires having different diameters can be readily mounted and reliably prevented from displacement with a simple structure. The wires can be readily mounted and dismounted by the hook and the hook receiver.
