Outer cabinet and electrical appliance using the same

Abstract

An outer cabinet and an electrical appliance using the cabinet include an affixing surface on which a material to be affixed is affixed. The affixing surface includes an inner groove portion inside the outer peripheral edge of a nameplate as the material to be affixed. The rear surface, which is on the opposite side of the affixing surface, includes an outer groove portion in the vicinity of the position opposite to the outer peripheral edge of the nameplate.

1 . An outer cabinet comprising:
 an affixing surface on which a material to be affixed is affixed; and   a rear surface on an opposite side of the affixing surface,   the affixing surface including an inner groove portion inside an outer peripheral edge of the material to be affixed, and   the rear surface including an outer groove portion in a vicinity of a position opposite to the outer peripheral edge of the material to be affixed.   
   
   
       2 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the rear surface includes the outer groove portion at the position opposite to the outer peripheral edge of the material to be affixed.   
   
   
       3 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the rear surface includes the outer groove portion outside the position opposite to the outer peripheral edge of the material to be affixed.   
   
   
       4 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the rear surface includes the outer groove portion inside the position opposite to the outer peripheral edge of the material to be affixed.   
   
   
       5 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the outer groove portion has a substantially V-shaped cross section.   
   
   
       6 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the inner groove portion has a substantially V-shaped cross section.   
   
   
       7 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the outer groove portion and the inner groove portion have a substantially V- shaped cross section, and   the substantial V-shapes of the outer groove portion and the inner groove portion are in the opposite directions.   
   
   
       8 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the inner groove portion consists of grooves running in two directions at right angles.   
   
   
       9 . The outer cabinet of  claim 1 , wherein
 the inner groove portion penetrates from the affixing surface to the rear surface.   
   
   
       10 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 1 . 
   
   
       11 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 2 . 
   
   
       12 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 3 . 
   
   
       13 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 4 . 
   
   
       14 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 5 . 
   
   
       15 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 6 . 
   
   
       16 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 7 . 
   
   
       17 . An electrical appliance using the outer cabinet of  claim 8 .
