Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A switch cover 21 has a frame member 22 and a cover member 23 . The frame member 22 is fastened to the case front 6 of a printer 1 and surrounds a power switch 15 . The cover member 23 is supported by the frame member 22 pivotably between a closed position 23 A covering the opening 24 inside the frame member 22 and shielding the power switch 15 so the power switch 15 is inoperable, and an open position 23 B where the opening 24 is open and the power switch 15 is not shielded. By simply fastening the switch cover 21 to the case front 6 with the frame member 22 surrounding the power switch 15 , the cover member 23 can cover and prevent operating the power switch 15 . Accidental operation of the power switch of electronic devices, including products such as printers, can therefore be prevented.
