A touch panel including an operation surface on which touch operation is to be performed; a voice coil actuator to apply vibrating force to the operation surface in response to the touch operation; and a main body chassis supporting the touch panel via a spring are included, and the voice coil actuator includes: a magnetic circuit unit provided on the main body chassis and including a magnetic gap; a coil unit provided on a rear surface of the touch panel and including a coil provided in the magnetic gap; and a fit unit to align a center position of the coil unit and a center position of the magnetic circuit unit and with each other by fitting the coil unit and the magnetic circuit unit and to each other when the coil unit is pushed toward the magnetic circuit unit.

Electronic apparatus

Notched portions and positioning projecting portions are elastically engaged with each other to hold a fan unit at a fixing position in a housing, in a state in which the fan unit is placed at the fixing position.

Fan unit fixing structure and electronic equipment

A bent part () extends from an edge part of a wall part () being parallel to the direction of insertion of a rail part (). The bent part () has an arm part () extending in a direction crossing the direction of insertion, and a contact surface part () extending from the arm part () in a direction crossing the direction of the arm part (). An opening of a slit () formed between the wall part () and the bent part () faces an opening of a cutout () into which the rail part () is to be inserted. The contact surface part () is sloped such that the rail part () is slidingly guided into the slit ().

Assembly alignment assistance structure for member, and casing of electronic device

A circuit board () is fixed with a screw (), using a component attachment part () cut and raised from a bottom plate part () of a bottom chassis () toward the inner side of a casing (). An opening part () formed by cutting and raising of the component attachment part () is closed by attachment of a rear chassis (), and the bottom chassis () and the rear chassis () come into contact with each other via an elastic piece ().
