Abstract

A casing for electronic appliances is disclosed. The casing has an inner case having spaces defined therein by partitions, the spaces being adapted to receive various manipulation members, and an outer case adapted to be closely fitted to the outside of the inner case. In assembling, the outer case is fitted to the outside of the inner case, after placing respective manipulation members in respective spaces in the inner case, so that the manipulation parts are firmly clamped between the inner and outer cases of the casing.

Claims

1. A casing for electronic appliances comprising:

a molded inner case having at least one major surface in which are located manipulation members, said inner case having a space for receiving tape cassette means, said space being defined by partition walls, and said inner case including means for fixing its back side surface to an opened area on the front panel of a chassis; and

a molded outer case provided in its front panel with apertures corresponding to said manipulation members, said apertures being formed at portions of said front panel of said outer case aligning with corresponding manipulation members and having shapes similar to the shapes of exposed parts of corresponding manipulation members, said outer case being further provided with flanges formed around the back side opening thereof, and being adapted to be fixed to said front panel of said chassis at said flanges, wherein said outer case encloses said inner case when said outer case is fixed to said chassis.

2. The casing of claim 1 wherein said manipulation members include at least one from the group consisting of push button switches, a display device, pilot lamps, and change-over switches.
