Patent attributes
A casing (10) for an optical disk player includes a body (14) for housing a disk playing mechanism, and a top lid (12). The top lid is closable downward to a closed position for covering at least part of the body, and is openable upward to an open position for loading or unloading an optical disk. A pair of pivot pins (440, 584) is formed on opposite lateral sides of the body respectively, and a pair of pivot holes (220, 34) is defined in opposite lateral sides of the top lid respectively. The pivot pins are movably received in the pivot holes. A resilient member (56) is interposed between the body and the top lid, for resiliently loading the top lid in a direction toward its open position. In assembly, at least one of the pivot pins is insertable into the corresponding pivot hole by deforming the top lid slightly.
