A mounting apparatus includes a mount, a locking member, a movable projection member, and a first moving mechanism. The mount can mount a first housing in a predetermined positional relationship with the mounting apparatus. The locking member is provided to be movable between an initial position and a position corresponding to a revolving position of a second housing. The locking member can lock the electronic device with the second housing. The movable projection member is disposed to abut the first housing mounted on the mount, and moves in an apparatus thickness direction when the movable projection member abuts the first housing. When the locking member lies at the initial position, and the movable projection member moves in the apparatus thickness direction, the first moving mechanism moves the locking member from the initial position of the locking member to the position corresponding to the revolving position of the second housing.

Mounting apparatus

A mounting apparatus includes a mount, a locking member, an operating member, and a second moving mechanism. The mount can mount a first housing in a predetermined positional relationship with the mounting apparatus. The locking member is provided to be movable between an initial position and a position corresponding to a revolving position of a second housing. The locking member can lock the electronic device with the second housing. The operating member moves in a predetermined direction through a user operation. When the locking member lies at a position corresponding to the revolving position of the second housing, and the operating member moves in the predetermined direction, the second moving mechanism causes the locking member to move from the position corresponding to the revolving position of the second housing to the initial position.

A mounting apparatus includes a mount and a locking member. The mount can mount a first housing in a predetermined positional relationship with the mounting apparatus. The locking member is capable of locking an electronic device. The locking member is provided so as to be revolvable about a revolving axis center disposed on a position on an axis center approximately identical to a revolving axis center when the first housing is mounted on the mount to lock the electronic device with the second housing.

An information-processing apparatus includes a controller for sending a first parallel digital signal having a plurality of bits, a first converter for time-dividing the first parallel digital signal as to convert the first parallel digital signal into a serial signal, a first case for accommodating the controller and the first converter, a second converter for converting the serial signal into a second parallel digital signal having a plurality of bits, a wireless communication device for receiving the second parallel digital signal to producing a high frequency signal based on the second parallel digital signal, an antenna for transmitting the high frequency signal, a second case for accommodating the second converter and the wireless communication device and for having the antenna mounted thereto, a hinge unit coupling the second case rotatably with the first case, and a signal line provided at the hinge unit and transmitting the serial signal between the first converter and the second converter. These information-processing apparatuses can transmit the high frequency signals to the antennas with low losses.
