An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis member that has a first wall portion; a second chassis member that has a second wall portion and is adjacent to the first chassis member; a hinge device that connects the first chassis member and the second chassis member to be relatively rotatable between a first posture, in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are laminated so as to overlap each other in a surface normal direction, to dispose the first wall portion and the second wall portion at positions facing each other, and a second posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the surface normal direction; and a magnet that has a side surface and a bottom surface and is attached to the first wall portion.

Folding electronic apparatus with magnetic closing

An electronic apparatus includes: a chassis side surface formed by a chassis member; an electromagnetic shielding wall of a radio wave non-transmissive material formed by the chassis member; a component installation space located between the chassis side surface and the electromagnetic shielding wall; and an antenna module and an electrical component arranged in the component installation space. The electromagnetic shielding wall at least covers laterally an antenna element in the antenna module.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis member that has a first edge portion; a second chassis member that has a second edge portion adjacent to the first edge portion, and is adjacent to the first chassis member; a hinge device that connects the first chassis member and the second chassis member so as to be relatively rotatable between a first posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are laminated so as to overlap each other in a surface normal direction and a second posture in which the first chassis member and the second chassis member are aligned in a direction perpendicular to the surface normal direction; and a cover component that is disposed so as to straddle the first edge portion and the second edge portion.

An electronic apparatus includes a first chassis member, a second chassis member, first plate supported by the first chassis member, second plate supported by the second chassis member and aligned with a gap between the first plate and the second plate, display formed in a sheet shape having flexibility, first fastening portion that fixes the first plate to the first chassis member, and second fastening portion that fixes the second plate to the second chassis member. The first plate has a protruding portion that protrudes from a rear surface, and the first chassis member has a wall portion that faces the protruding portion. A stopper member is interposed between the protruding portion and the wall portion and restricts relative movement of the first plate with respect to the first chassis member in an alignment direction of the first plate and the second plate.

Electronic apparatus and method for manufacturing electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis which has a first frame member; a second chassis which has a second frame member which is adjacent to the first frame member and is adjacent to the first chassis; a display which is supported to the first chassis and the second chassis; and a hinge device which so connects the first chassis and the second chassis as to be rotationally movable relative to each other between a first posture that the first chassis and the second chassis are so folded as to mutually overlap in a surface normal direction and a second posture that the first chassis and the second chassis are mutually arrayed in a direction which is vertical to the surface normal direction.

An electronic apparatus includes the first chassis and the second chassis which are relatively and rotatably connected, a flexible board provided astride between the first chassis and the second chassis, and a graphite sheet stacked on the flexible board. The flexible board and the graphite sheet have a substantially S-shaped extra length absorption portion formed in at least one of the first chassis and the second chassis and having a first folding portion and a second folding portion which are curved in directions opposite to each other, are fixed to each other at a front and rear of the extra length absorption portion, and are fixed to each other at an intermediate portion between the first folding portion and the second folding portion, excluding the first folding portion and the second folding portion, by an adhesive tape.

An electronic apparatus includes a hinge device that connects a first chassis member and a second chassis member to be relatively rotatable, a rear cover component that is disposed to fill a space between a first end portion of the first chassis member and a second end portion of the second chassis member separated from each other in a first posture, and a sheet member that has flexibility, is provided to straddle between the rear cover component and an inner surface of the first chassis member and an inner surface of the second chassis member, and covers a gap between the rear cover component and the first end portion and a gap between the rear cover component and the second end portion.

An electronic apparatus includes a first chassis, a second chassis, a hinge device having a movable portion applied with a lubricant and connecting the first chassis and the second chassis relatively rotatably, a spine part made of a thermal conductive material, a first thermal conductive member which is provided on an inner surface of the first chassis and contacts the spine part at a position not to overlap with the movable portion at a second posture, and a second thermal conductive member which is provided on an inner surface of the second chassis and contacts the spine part at a position not to overlap with the movable portion at the second posture.

Foldable electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus has: a tray holding a communication card; a card socket accommodating the tray; an eject mechanism that ejects the tray in response to an operation of inserting a pin; a cover which is provided integrally with the tray and in which an eject hole through which the pin is inserted to operate the eject mechanism is formed; a reset switch for resetting a system in response to the operation of inserting the pin; and a reset hole into which the pin is inserted to operate the reset switch. The card socket and the reset switch are provided adjacently to a position along a first edge of a flat rectangular chassis, and the reset hole is covered by the cover while the tray is in the card socket.

An electronic apparatus includes a cover fixed with an adhesive tape along an edge of a first chassis, a female screw hole formed on a side wall, and a protruding portion protruding from an inner surface of the cover. The protruding portion has an inclined surface that is located on an extension of the female screw hole and of which a protrusion amount increases in a direction away from the side wall. A removal screw includes a head, a male screw portion protruding from the head and screwed into the female screw hole, a cylindrical portion having a diameter smaller than that of the male screw portion and further protruding from the male screw portion, and a spherical surface portion forming a tip end of the cylindrical portion.

Electronic apparatus, removal screw, and cover removing method

An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis member; a second chassis member that is adjacent to the first chassis member and relatively rotatably connected to the first chassis member; a first plate that is supported by the first chassis member; a second plate that is supported by the second chassis member and aligned with a gap between the first plate and the second plate; a display that is formed in a flexible sheet shape, and has a first region fixed to a front surface of the first plate, a second region fixed to a front surface of the second plate, and a folding region capable of being folded and provided to straddle a gap between the first region and the second region; and a first fastening portion that fixes the first plate to the first chassis member.
