Abstract

A structure for leading out a power code extended from a wiring board on which electronic components of an electronic apparatus are mounted, the structure includes: a first housing, accommodating the wiring board, and comprised of resin; a second housing, accommodating the first housing, and formed with an opening communicating an external space of the electronic apparatus; a regulating member, hanging up the power cord above the wiring board and guiding the power cord to the opening, and being monolithic with the first cover.

Claims

1. A structure for leading out a power cord extended from a wiring board on which a power supply circuit of an electric apparatus is mounted, the structure comprising:

a first housing configured to accommodate the wiring board, the first housing being comprised of resin and monolithically formed with a regulating member configured to hang up a first portion of the power cord above the wiring board when the first housing accommodates the wiring board; and

a second housing having a face exposed to an outside of the electric apparatus and formed with an opening configured to allow the power cord to pass through to the outside when the first housing accommodates the wiring board,

wherein the first portion of the power cord is disposed between an outer face of the first housing and the opening when the first housing accommodates the wiring board.

2. The structure according to claim 1, wherein

the regulating member is a recess formed on the first housing;

and

the opening is located below the highest position of the regulating member.

3. An electric apparatus, comprising:

a wiring board;

a power supply circuit mounted on the wiring board;

a power cord electrically connected to and extending from the wiring board;

a first housing accommodating the wiring board, the first housing being comprised of resin and monolithically formed with a regulating member hanging up a first portion of the power cord above the wiring board; and

a second housing having a face exposed to an outside of the electric apparatus and formed with an opening allowing the power cord to pass through to the outside,

wherein the first portion of the power cord is disposed between an outer face of the first housing and the opening.

4. The electric apparatus according to claim 3, wherein:

the regulating member is a recess formed on the first housing; and

the opening is located below the highest position of the regulating member.
