Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rotatable apparatus includes a casing and a protector for closing an opening. The casing includes first and second casing faces intersecting at angle θ1. The first casing face is provided with an opening. The protector includes first and second protector faces abutting and intersecting each other at angle θ2. The protector is fixed to only the second casing face. The angle θ2 is larger than the angle θ1 when the protector is removed from the casing. The protector is attached to the casing in such a manner that the second protector face is fixed to the second casing face, and that the first protector face is elastically deformed so that an edge part of the first protector face, which is located on the side opposite to the second protector face, closely contacts the first casing face.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A rotatable apparatus comprising: a casing including a first casing face provided with an opening and a second casing face abutting the first casing face, the second casing face intersecting the first casing face at angle θ1; and a protector for closing the opening, the protector including a first protector face and a second protector face abutting the first protector face, the second protector face intersecting the first protector face at angle θ2, wherein the protector is configured to be fixed to only the second casing face, the angle θ2 is larger than the angle θ1 when the protector is removed from the casing, and the protector is configured to be attached to the casing in such a manner that the second protector face is fixed to the second casing face, and that the first protector face is elastically deformed so that an edge part of the first protector face, which is located on the side opposite to the second protector face, closely contacts the first casing face. 2. The rotatable apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the protector is fixed to the casing by using only a single male screw. 3. A rotatable apparatus comprising: a casing including a first casing face provided with an opening and a second casing face abutting the first casing face, the second casing face intersecting the first casing face at angle θ1; and a protector for closing the opening, the protector including a first protector face and a second protector face abutting the first protector face, the second protector face intersecting the first protector face at angle θ2, wherein the protector is configured to be fixed to only the second casing face between the first and second casing faces, the protector is made of an elastic material, and the angles θ1 and θ2 satisfy an expression, θ1+5≦θ2≦θ1+15, when the protector is removed from the casing. 4. The rotatable apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the second protector face is provided with a hole for insertion of a male screw by notching an edge part of the second protector face, which is located on the side opposite to the first protector face. 5. The rotatable apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the protector is fixed to the casing by using only a single male screw. 6. A rotatable apparatus comprising: a casing including a first casing face provided with an opening and a second casing face abutting the first casing face, the second casing face intersecting the first casing face at angle θ1; and a protector for closing the opening, the protector including a first protector face and a second protector face abutting the first protector face, the second protector face intersecting the first protector face at angle θ2, wherein the protector is configured to be fixed to only the second casing face, the angle θ2 is larger than the angle θ1 when the protector is removed from the casing, the protector is configured to be attached to the casing in such a manner that the second protector face is fixed to the second casing face, and that the first protector face is elastically deformed so that an edge part of the first protector face, which is located on the side opposite to the second protector face, closely contacts the first casing face, and the second protector face is provided with a hole for insertion of a male screw by notching an edge part of the second protector face, which is located on the side opposite to the first protector face.
