According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a housing and a stylus holder accommodated in the housing. The stylus holder includes a holding portion that is supported in the housing and configured to ejectably hold a stylus for handwriting input and a reinforcing wall that is provided to the holding portion and configured to reinforce the housing from the inside of the housing.

Electronic apparatus

The housing used in the electronic apparatus has an outer wall. The outer wall is formed by injecting a metal material from a plurality of gates into a molding space in a metal die. The outer wall includes a first end portion situated on an upstream end along a flowing direction of the metal material, a second end portion situated on a downstream end of the flowing direction of the metal material, and an injection portion formed on the first end portion where the plurality of gates of the metal die are situated, forming a space between the first end portion and the injection portion.

An electronic apparatus includes a main body having a storage section which stores a wireless communication unit and an antenna element for use in wireless communication. An antenna cable is formed between the storage section and the antenna element. The antenna cable has one end led to the storage section, and the one end of the antenna cable is connected to the wireless communication unit. A holding member is fixed in the storage section. The holding member is detachably caught by the one end of the antenna cable to hold the one end of the antenna cable in position in the storage section.

Electronic apparatus having antenna elements for use in wireless communication

The portable electronic apparatus has a box-like casing having a peripheral wall, and a pack receptacle defined within the casing. The pack receptacle has an opening portion opened in the peripheral wall. A packaged functional component is stored in the pack receptacle, such that the functional component can be detached therefrom through the opening portion. The pack receptacle of the casing is provided with a locking member for holding the functional component. The locking member is movable by manual operation between a locked position where the locking member is hooked on the functional component and a lock-released position where the locking member leaves the functional component. The pack receptacle is provided with a spring for energizing the functional component in the direction in which the functional component is pushed out through the opening portion. The opening portion of the casing and the locking member are covered with a detachable cover.

An information apparatus such as a portable computer comprises a main body having an upper surface, and a display unit. The display unit includes a display housing having a front surface and a rear surface located opposite to the front surface, and a display contained in the display housing and having a display screen exposed to the front surface. The display unit is supported on the main body to be rotatable between a closed position where the display unit falls down to cover the upper surface and an open position where the display unit stands up to expose the upper surface. An optical communication device for transmitting/receiving data by using infrared is contained within the display housing. The communication device has a communication port exposed to the rear surface of the display housing.

A compact electronic apparatus includes a base unit having a bottom wall and a side wall, an attachment recess having a bottom opening portion formed in the bottom wall of the base unit, and a battery pack to be fitted in the attachment recess from the bottom opening portion. The battery pack has a size slightly shorter than the attachment recess and is slidable in the attachment recess by a predetermined distance substantially equal to the difference between those lengths. A side opening portion continuous to the bottom opening portion and open to the side wall is formed in one end of the attachment recess. First engaging portions are provided at the side opening portion, and second engaging portions at the far end portion of the attachment recess. The battery pack is provided with third engaging portions and fourth engaging portions, which engage with the first and second engaging portions, respectively, when the battery pack is slid in the attachment recess by the predetermined distance.

A personal computer has a casing that includes a rear wall formed having an aperture, and a first expansion connector is located in the casing so as to face the aperture. A connector cover for opening and closing the aperture is swingably provided on the rear wall of the casing. An expansion adapter to which the computer is connected includes a carrying surface, on which the casing is detachably mounted, and a first relay connector located adjacent to the carrying surface and connectable with the first expansion connector. Provided on the carrying surface is a pushing projection that engages the connector cover, thereby causing it to swing to an open position, when the casing placed on the carrying surface is moved toward the first relay connector.

Electronic processing system

A compact electronic apparatus which includes a base unit and a main circuit board within the base unit. An optional component may be detachably stored in the base unit. A sub circuit board is detachably supported on the optional component and is substantially perpendicular to the main circuit board. The sub circuit board includes a first connector which is connectable to the optional component and a second connector electrically connected to the first connector and connectable to the main circuit board.

Compact electronic apparatus having a detachable optional component

A compact electronic apparatus which includes a base unit having upper and lower cases, and electronic components located at a storage location between the upper and lower cases and which are connected to a printed circuit board on the lower case via a single main connector in the base unit.
