Abstract

A mounting section on which a nameplate is mounted includes a space formed between the nameplate and a bottom part of the mounting section, the space enabling the nameplate to be rotated about a fulcrum E that serves as a center of rotation, in a state with the nameplate being mounted on a casing.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A structure, comprising:
a casing; and
a nameplate mounted detachably on the casing,
the nameplate comprising:
a main body portion formed in a plate-like shape; and
a projecting part formed to project out from a surface of the main body portion;

the casing comprising:
a recessed portion in which the nameplate is mounted;
a gripping member formed on a bottom part of the recessed portion, and which grips the projecting part; and
a fulcrum member in contact with a portion of the nameplate that faces toward the bottom part side of the recessed portion, and which acts as a fulcrum when the nameplate is rotated;

wherein the recessed portion includes a space formed between the nameplate and the bottom part of the recessed portion, the space enabling the nameplate to be rotated about the fulcrum that serves as a center of rotation, in a state with the nameplate being mounted on the casing.

2. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the fulcrum member is disposed on the gripping member.

3. The structure according to claim 2 , wherein:
an upper surface of the gripping member contacts the main body portion, in a state in which the gripping member grips the projecting part; and
a portion of the upper surface of the gripping member functions as the fulcrum.

4. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the fulcrum member is disposed on a support member separately from the gripping member.

5. The structure according to claim 4 , wherein:
an upper surface of the support member contacts the main body portion, in a state in which the gripping member grips the projecting part; and
a portion of the upper surface of the support member functions as the fulcrum member.

6. The structure according to claim 4 , wherein fulcrum members are formed on opposite sides sandwiching the gripping member therebetween.

7. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein:
the projecting part is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape extending in parallel to the surface of the main body portion on which the projecting part is disposed; and
mutually opposing surfaces of portions of the gripping member and which sandwich the projecting part therebetween are formed in substantially arcuate shapes.
