CASE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240244810 titled 'CASE

The abstract of the patent application describes a case with a discharge port for electronic components, guide slits, and a movable shutter to open and close the port.

The case body has upper and lower guide slits for the shutter to slide in, with inner wall surfaces defining the slits.
The shutter has increased thickness portions on its main surfaces for sliding in the desired direction.
The innovation lies in the design of the shutter and its interaction with the guide slits to control the opening and closing of the discharge port.

Potential Applications:

This technology can be used in electronic device cases to safely discharge components.
It can also be applied in industrial settings where controlled discharge of components is necessary.

Problems Solved:

Provides a secure way to discharge electronic components from a case.
Ensures that the components are safely handled during the discharge process.

Benefits:

Prevents damage to electronic components during discharge.
Offers a reliable and controlled method for handling components.

Commercial Applications:

This technology can be utilized by manufacturers of electronic devices to improve the safety and efficiency of component discharge processes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the increased thickness portion of the shutter contribute to its functionality?

  - The increased thickness portion helps the shutter slide smoothly in the guide slits, allowing for precise control of the discharge port.

2. What are the potential implications of this technology in the electronics industry?

  - This technology could streamline the handling of electronic components, leading to increased efficiency and safety in manufacturing processes.

Original Abstract Submitted

a case includes a case body including a discharge port through which electronic components are dischargeable, an upper guide slit and a lower guide slit communicating with the discharge port, and a shutter slidably inserted into the guide slits and movable to open and close the discharge port. the case body includes a front inner wall surface and a rear inner wall surface facing each other to define the upper guide slit therebetween and a lower inner wall surface and an upper inner wall surface defining the lower guide slit therebetween. the shutter includes a pair of first and second main surfaces, and includes, on at least one of the pair of main surfaces, an increased thickness portion extending in a sliding direction in which the shutter slides.
