A linear extension and retraction mechanism that is mounted in a robot arm mechanism includes: a plurality of first pieces having a flat plate shape which are bendably connected to each other at front and rear end faces; a plurality of second pieces having a groove shape which are bendably connected to each other at front and rear end faces of a bottom part, with the first and second pieces becoming linearly rigid when superposed, and the first and second pieces returning to a bent state when separated from each other; a head section which joins a leading first piece of the plurality of first pieces and a leading second piece of the plurality of second pieces; and a sending-out mechanism section including a plurality of rollers and for firmly superposing the first and second pieces and supporting the first and second pieces movably to front and rear. At least one groove section that extends from front to rear is formed in the surfaces of the first and second pieces that contact the rollers.

Linear extension and retraction mechanism

Provided is an electronic apparatus including a cooling fan and a cover configuring an outer wall of an air flow path and having a heat sink arranged therein, and effectively utilizing a frame as a member for heat radiation. A cooling fanis arranged on the opposite side of a circuit board across an upper frameand attached to the upper frame. The electronic apparatus includes a cover having a shape for covering the air flow path and defining a wall of the air flow path together with the upper frame. Heat sinksandare arranged on the inner side of the cover
