Abstract: The liquid container according to the present disclosure is a liquid container to be detachably attached to the main body portion of an apparatus. The liquid container includes a container main body, a ventilation hole, and a lid. The container main body includes an upper portion, a bottom portion, and side portions connecting the upper portion and the bottom portion. The container main body is capable of storing a liquid. The ventilation hole penetrates the upper portion of the container main body. The lid is disposed on an inner side of the container main body and, when the liquid is stored in the container main body, is capable of closing or opening the ventilation hole according to a change in a surface of the liquid. The lid includes a fulcrum positioned closer to the side portion of the container main body than to the ventilation hole. The lid is pivotable around the fulcrum with respect to the ventilation hole.

Abstract: An electrostatic atomizing apparatus includes a main body portion, a container, a first air flow path, a second air flow path, an electrostatic atomization unit, and an air flow generation unit. The container is detachable from the main body portion, is capable of storing a liquid, and includes a first ventilation hole and a second ventilation hole. The first air flow path includes a first end that includes an air suction port, and a second end that connects to the first ventilation hole. The second air flow path includes a third end that connects to the second ventilation hole, and a fourth end that includes an air exhaust port. The electrostatic atomization unit is disposed on the second air flow path. The air flow generation unit generates an air flow that causes air to flow through the first air flow path, through the container, and through the second air flow path.

Abstract: A liquid-retaining device comprises a device body capable of accommodating a liquid, a first ventilation part, a second ventilation part, a partition part, and a humidifying filter. The first ventilation part includes a first hole passing through a wall surface of the device body, and configured to introduce air. The second ventilation part includes a second hole passing through a wall surface of the device body, and configured to lead out the air. The partition part divides an interior of the device body into a first region, which is a region for accommodating the liquid, and a second region, which is a region to form an air flow path between the first ventilation part and the second ventilation part. The humidifying filter is arranged so as to extend from the first region to the second region.

Abstract: An electrostatic atomizing system includes an air flow path having an air intake port and an air exhaust port, a humidifying device, an electrostatic atomizing apparatus, a first sensor, and a control unit. The humidifying device humidifies the air taken in through the air intake port. The electrostatic atomizing apparatus includes an electrode section operable to produce charged particulate water by causing the water in the air humidified by the humidifying device to condense on an electrode and applying voltage to that electrode. Moreover, the electrostatic atomizing apparatus exhausts air that contains the charged particulate water through the air exhaust port. The first sensor senses at least one of humidity and temperature of the air humidified by the humidifying device. The control unit determines, based on a sensing result of the first sensor, if there is a fault in the humidifying device or the electrostatic atomizing apparatus, and outputs the result of the determination.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing defining an interior space with an opening, a lid, a first locking member, a restricting member, and a second locking member. The lid is coupled to the housing to close and unclose the opening. The first locking member is coupled to the lid and movable in a first direction between a closed position to lock the lid over the opening and an open position to unlock the lid from over the opening. The restricting member is mounted to the lid and movable between a restricting position to prevent the first locking member from moving to the open position and a retracted position to permit the first locking member to move to the open position. The second locking member is coupled to the lid and movable in the first direction to allow the restricting member to switch between the restricting position and the retracted position.

Abstract: A lid sealing structure is provided that includes a housing, a lid, and a waterproof gasket. The housing defines an interior space with an opening and includes a sealing portion that encircles the opening and provides access to the interior space. The lid is configured to cover and uncover the opening. The waterproof gasket includes a base portion, a first contact portion, and a second contact portion. The base portion is mounted to the lid, and the first and second contact portions extend from the base portion and arranged to contact the sealing portion.
