Abstract

A storage medium player includes a base, a printed circuit board mounted in the base, and an indicator device. The base includes an upper body and a lower body. One of the upper body and the lower body includes a first engaging portion and defines a hole. The indicator device includes an indicating lamp and a shield arranged between the indicating lamp and the hole. The indicating lamp is electrically connected with the printed circuit board so as to be supplied with an operating voltage by the printed circuit board. The shield is mounted in the base with one end thereof being engaged with the first engaging portion. The shield includes a main body and a protruding portion extending away from the main body. At least a part of the protruding portion is received in the hole.

Claims

1. A storage medium player, comprising:

a base, including an upper body and a lower body, one of the upper body and the lower body including a first engaging portion and defining a hole;

a printed circuit board mounted in the base; and

an indicator device including an indicating lamp and a shield, the indicating lamp being mounted on the printed circuit board and being electrically connected to the printed circuit board so as to be supplied with an operating voltage by the printed circuit board, the shield being mounted in the base with one end thereof being engaged with the first engaging portion, and the shield being arranged between the indicating lamp and the hole, the shield including a main body and a protruding portion extending away from the main body, at least a part of the protruding portion being received in the hole.

2. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one of the upper body and the lower body comprising a sidewall, the first engaging portion cooperating with the sidewall to define an accommodating area so as to receive the end of the shield, and dimensions of the accommodating area are substantially equal to those of the end of the shield.

3. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 1, wherein the one of the upper body and the lower body comprising a substantially plane-shaped plate, the first engaging portion comprising a pair of L-shaped blocks extending out from the plate.

4. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 3, wherein the one of the upper body and the lower body comprising a sidewall extending perpendicularly from the plate, the sidewall cooperating with the pair of L-shaped blocks to define an accommodating area so as to receive the end of the shield, dimensions of the accommodating area are substantially equal to those of the end of the shield.

5. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 4, wherein the end of the shield comprises a first surface, and two inclined second surfaces extending from two side edges of the first surface, the protruding portion of the shield is arranged at one of the inclined second surfaces.

6. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 1, wherein the other one of the upper body and the lower body comprises a substantially plane-shaped plate, a second engaging portion extending out from the plate for engaging the other end of the shield.

7. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 6, wherein the other one of the upper body and the lower body comprises a sidewall extending perpendicularly from the plate, the second engaging portion cooperating with the sidewall to define an accommodating area so as to receive the other end of the shield, dimensions of the accommodating area are substantially equal to those of the other end of the shield.

8. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 7, wherein the second engaging portion comprises a first plate parallel to the sidewall, and a pair of second plates perpendicularly connecting the first plate with the sidewall.

9. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 1, wherein the protruding portion of the shield is aligned with the hole and the indicating lamp.

10. A storage medium player, comprising:

a base, including an upper body and a lower body, the upper body including a first engaging portion, the lower body including a second engaging portion, one of the upper body and the lower body defining a hole;

a printed circuit board mounted in the base; and

an indicator device including an indicating lamp and a shield, the indicating lamp being electrically connected to the printed circuit board so as to be supplied with an operating voltage by the printed circuit board, opposite ends of the shield are engaged respectively with the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, the shield being arranged between the indicating lamp and the hole.

11. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 10, wherein the upper body includes a top plate and a first sidewall extending perpendicularly from the top plate, the first engaging portion cooperates with the first sidewall to form a first accommodating area for receiving one of the two opposite ends of the shield, dimensions of the first accommodating area are substantially equal to those of the one of the two opposite ends of the shield.

12. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 11, wherein the first engaging portion comprises two L-shaped blocks symmetrically formed on the top plate.

13. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 11, wherein the lower body includes a bottom plate and a second sidewall extending perpendicularly from the bottom plate, the second engaging portion cooperates with the second sidewall to form a second accommodating area for receiving the other one of the two opposite ends of the shield, dimensions of the second accommodating area are substantially equal to that of the one of the two opposite ends of the shield.

14. The storage medium player as claimed in claim 13, wherein the second engaging portion includes a first blocking plate extending perpendicularly from the bottom plate, and a pair of second blocking plates connecting two opposite ends of the first blocking plate with the second sidewall.

15.
