  • Patent number: 9296234
    Abstract: When a cover is assembled to a case, an access opening of the case is opened by an opening operation of the cover. A part which is close to a first end of a link is connected to the cover. A part which is close to a second end of the link is connected to a connecting portion of a decorative sheet. A second fastening portion of the decorative sheet is fastened with respect to a first fastening portion of the case (side wall forming member) by a fastening member which is inserted into the case from the access opening. At this time, even when an opening operation of the cover is restricted by the link and the access opening becomes narrower, it is possible to easily perform the fastening operation. For this reason, it is easy to perform an assembling operation of the cover with respect to the case.
