Abstract An electric instrument casing in which a mounting portion is provided for mounting a cell unit on a bottom of a rectangular tubular case which detachably receives a radio unit. Further, an opening is provided in a part of a front surface of the tubular case. A front-surface panel is detachably provided so as to close the opening. The front-surface panel is provided with a ten-key sheet switch, a speaker, a microphone and the like. A flexible flat harness has a forward end thereof which is adapted to be inserted into a connector of the radio unit. An engaging piece on a top of the front-surface panel is engaged with the inside of an engaging portion that is an edge of an upper portion of the opening in the tubular case. Set screws are threaded into screw bores in mounting pieces on a lower portion of the front-surface panel through a cell-unit mounting portion of the tubular case, whereby the front-surface panel is fixedly mounted on the tubular case. The front-surface panel is demounted, whereby it is possible to easily mount the option unit on the radio unit through the opening later.
An electronic instrument casing comprising: a hollow case for detachably receiving a radio unit, said hollow case having a front surface side, an opening formed in a portion of said front surface side, and a cell-unit mounting portion formed separately from said opening; a front-surface panel configured to detachably close said opening in said front surface side of said case, said front-surface panel having a front surface and a rear surface, a sheet switch having a plurality of keys provided on said front surface, and a first printed circuit board provided on said rear surface, said first printed circuit board being provided with a speaker and a microphone; a second printed circuit board located on said radio unit; a flexible harness connecting said second printed circuit board to said first printed circuit board; a first engaging piece provided on one of said hollow case and said front-surface panel; a second engaging piece engageable with said first engaging piece and provided on the other of said hollow case and said front-surface panel; and screw means for securing said front-surface panel to said cell-unit mounting portion of said hollow case.
