  • Publication number: 20240074077
    Abstract: A press-contact guide, a restraining guide, and a latching mechanism are provided between a housing of a device body and a cover. A restraining projection provided on the cover is inserted into an introduction opening to cause a press-contact projection to be pressed into contact with a press-contact slide part. In this state, the cover is slid in a latching-force-acting direction. Then, the cover moves with a restraining projection being restrained by the restraining guide and cause a projecting latch to latch into a receiving hole. When such a latched state is established, the cover and the housing go out of contact with each other at the press-contact guide and the restraining guide.
