Title: Radio receiver
Claims: What is claimed is: 1. A radio receiver assembly comprising: a radio receiver, a cabinet consisting of a pair of cabinet sections, each cabinet section containing at least some of the components of said radio receiver and having an integral transversal wall at one end portion thereof in which an opening is formed, said opening being arranged so as to be aligned with a corresponding opening of the adjacent cabinet section, a tubular coupling member for joining said cabinet sections inserted into said openings formed in said two adjacent integral transversal walls, and a pair of spring members mounted on said tubular coupling member against said two transversal walls respectively, said spring members exerting a clamping force through said coupling member thereby securely joining said cabinet sections and enabling said cabinet sections to rotate with respect to each other about the axis of said tubular coupling member. 2. A radio receiver according to claim 1, wherein radial roulettes are formed on the mating surfaces of the integral transversal walls of said adjacent cabinet sections. 3. A radio receiver according to claim 1, wherein said tubular coupling member is adapted to rotate in a unit with one of the integral transversal walls of said adjacent cabinet sections, and said tubular coupling member is further provided with, a disc having a number of small holes, said disc being fitted on said coupling member so as to rotate in a unit therewith, a further disc having a number of small holes, said further disc being fitted on an inner surface of the other integral transversal wall thereof so as to rotate in a unit therewith, and a plurality of balls interposed loosely between the holes of said discs. 4. A joint cabinet structure for a radio receiver comprising: a doughnut-like cabinet for housing electrical parts which consists of two cabinet halves divided symmetrically by a vertical plane, one juncture of said two cabinet halves being a joining portion, a tubular coupling member and a coil spring mounted on said joining portion of the cabinet halves so that the cabinet halves are securely joined but rotatable with respect to each other about the axis of said tubular coupling member, a first protuberance mounted on a joining surface of one of said cabinet halves, and a pair of second protuberances each having a flat top and forming a recess therebetween, said pair of second protuberances being mounted on a joining surface of the other of said cabinet halves so as to enable said first protuberance to ride on either one of said pair of second protuberances and be received in said recess in accordance with the direction of relative rotation of said cabinet halves, the height and the flat top length of each of said pair of second protuberances being determined such that, during the travel of said first protuberance riding on either of said pair of second protuberances, the end surfaces of said pair of cabinets in the other juncture other than the joining juncture are spaced from each other by a gap formed therebetween thereby preventing approaching end surfaces of said pair of cabinet halves from being struck by each other.
