ENCLOSING HAVING COVER, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING APARATUS

摘要

To provide an enclosure having a body and a cover, in which the cover can be opened even if an operation for releasing the state where the cover is latched with the body and an operation for lifting the cover itself are not practiced simultaneously, the present invention provides an engaging member being movable or transformable, in the state where a cover is closed, between an engaging position where the cover is engaged with said body and a releasing position where the cover is not engaged with the body, being forced to move or transform from said releasing position to said engaging position, and being provided to one of the cover and the body, and lock means for preventing said engaging member from moving from said releasing position to said engaging position in spite of said force when said engaging member is moved from said engaging position to said releasing position in the state where the cover is closed, and for allowing said engaging member to move from said releasing position to said engaging position when the cover is opened so that it becomes unnecessary to practice an operation for releasing a latch and an operation for lifting the cover simultaneously when the cover is opened by keeping the engaging member in the releasing position by means of said lock means and thus keeping the state where the latch is released when the engaging member is moved from the engaging position to the releasing position.
