Electronic equipments chassis made from bent sheet metal

摘要

An electronic equipment, such as a recording and/or reproducing apparatus for recording and/or reproducing an information signal in and/or from a recording medium. The electronic equipment includes a drive mechanism portion, a chassis, an upper lid, a lower lid, a panel frame and a battery compartment portion. The chassis is a frame substantially square in shape and is formed by bending a band-shaped piece of sheet metal. The chassis supports therein the drive mechanism portion through a damping mechanism. The upper lid is made of a metal material and attached to one surface side of the chassis so as to open and close the drive mechanism portion. The lower lid is made of a metal material and attached to the chassis so as to close the other surface of the chassis. The panel frame is substantially U-letter in shape and made of a synthetic resin. The panel frame has a plurality of operation buttons provided thereon and is attached to the outside of the chassis. The battery compartment portion has substantially the same thickness obtained under the condition that the lower lid is attached to the chassis and that the drive mechanism portion is closed by the upper lid. The battery compartment portion is made of a metal material and attached to one side wall of the chassis.
