An electronic device includes a housing, frame, and a lock attachment mechanism. The housing includes a front cabinet, and back cabinet which has opening and is attached to the front cabinet. The frame is disposed in the inside of the housing. The lock attachment mechanism includes lock attachment portion and hook portion. The lock attachment portion includes a pull-out portion with a hole disposed therein, and a leg portion protruding from the pull-out portion. The hook portion includes fixing portions attached to frame, and grappling portions that hook the leg portion with the pull-out portion being pulled out, and that form a gap through which the pull-out portion can be pulled out. The device further includes back cabinet having a holder. The holder restricts a movable range of lock attachment portion and holds the leg portion such that lock attachment portion is disposed at a location which allows the pull-out portion to be pulled out through opening.

Electronic device and method of assembling the same

An attempt is made to miniaturize and reduce a thickness of a folding type portable terminal. There are provided a turning shaft memberhaving a shaft section; a friction member; an urging member; and a bearing memberincluding an accommodation sectionfor accommodating the friction memberand the urging memberand an insertion holewhich is in mutual communication with the accommodation sectionand which retains the shaft sectionin a turnable manner. The urging memberurges the friction memberwhen predetermined deflection is imparted to the urging member. The urged friction membercontacts an outer periphery of the shaft sectionand also urges the outer periphery of the shaft section. The shaft sectionof the turning shaft memberis configured so as to turn while generating sliding friction against the friction memberand the bearing member

Turning device, and folding type portable terminal equipped with the same

A circuit board in which the attachment strength of a frame member to a substrate can be improved, and a mobile electronic apparatus are provided. A circuit boardhas: a substrate; plural electronic componentswhich are mounted on the substrate; and a frame memberwhich is attached to the substrateso as to surround the electronic components. A resin portionis formed by a resin which is filled into the frame member. The circuit boardhas: a lower bent portion(contact portion) which is disposed in a basal end portionB of a wall portionof the frame memberalong the substrate; and a raised portionwhich is disposed in an outer end portionA of the lower bent portion

Circuit board and mobile electronic apparatus

A substrate structure capable of miniaturizing and thinning a housing of a portable terminal is provided. A substrate structurecomprises a substrate, plural electronic componentsmounted along one mounting surfaceA in the substrate, and a resin partfor making close contact with the mounting surfaceA of the substratewhile each of the electronic componentsis covered with a resinA. In the substrate structure, a through holeextending through the substratein a thickness direction is disposed and also the side of the mounting surfaceA in the through holeis closed by a lid member. A rising partis disposed in a peripheral part of this lid member

Substrate structure and electronic apparatus

A mobile terminal includes: a first body including an operation part; a second body including a display; and a connector which rotatably connects the first body and the second body. The connector is connected to the first body, and rotates with respect to the first body about a first rotating shaft. The connector is connected to a lateral end of the second body, and rotates with respect to the second body about a second rotating shaft orthogonal to the first rotating shaft. A first fitting portion is formed on a connected surface of the connector to be connected with the second body. A second fitting portion which is fitted to the first fitting portion, is formed on the second body. When the second body relatively rotates about the second rotating shaft to overlap the connector on the connected surface, the first fitting portion fits to the second fitting portion.

Mobile terminal

An earphone has a case housing an electroacoustic transducer, the case being adapted to be put in the concha of the auricle of an ear. The case is of an elliptical shape so that it can snugly fit in the concha without under pressure imposed on the ear.
