A terminal unit includes a body unit and a display panel unit which is attached to the body unit in a manner in which an inclination angle of the display unit can be changed. The display panel unit has a shaft. The body unit has a shaft supporting portion which has a cut-out having an entrance portion. The shaft is caused to pass through the entrance portion of the cut-out of the shaft supporting portion and is fitted into a depth portion of the cut-out, the display panel unit thus being attached to the body unit. The direction in which force is applied to the shaft when the display panel unit is operated is different from the center line of the cut-out by a predetermined angle.

Terminal unit with display panel shaft support

A mechanism for mounting a storage device such as a magnetic disk device to a terminal device, capable of simplifying the attachment/detachment of the storage device, requiring a smaller number of parts for the attachment/detachment and preventing external shock from reaching the storage device. Storage devices are mounted to a frame made of a flexible material such as resin which, in turn, is fastened to a terminal device, without screws, by inserting a portion of the frame into a hole on the terminal device. Means made of a flexible material are provided on the upper surface of the frame for fastening the storage devices for absorbing the external shock or vibration by the elasticity thereof.
