A strap includes a base having a plate shape and detachably attached to a terminal rear surface of a portable terminal, a rotary plate attached to a base front surface of the base so as to be rotatable around a rotation axis perpendicular to the base front surface, an annular holding portion fixed to a rotary plate front surface of the rotary plate and into which a palm portion is inserted from a finger, and an adjuster portion having a foldable portion and fixed to the base rear surface of the base. The foldable portion varies a distance perpendicular to the base rear surface from the base rear surface of the base.

Strap

A strap used in a portable terminal includes a plate portion configured to be mounted on a surface of a main body of the portable terminal by attaching to a strap fixing portion of the main body, a rotation mechanism portion located at a substantially central portion of the plate portion and having a rotation axis located in a fourth area of the main body when the strap is mounted to the main body, a grip portion provided on the rotation mechanism portion, and a folded portion provided on the plate portion, and located at a position of a third area of the main body so as to be substantially orthogonal to a longitudinal direction, and to be bent in a direction toward the surface of the portable terminal when the strap is mounted to the main body.

An electronic device includes an electronic device body and a strap. A protruding portion protruding in a direction of thickness of the electronic device body is provided on a back surface of the electronic device body. The protruding portion is formed on the back surface so as to extend in a direction of a length of the electronic device body. The strap has belt-like two-folded form and is attached on the protruding portion at a position on or vicinity of a gravity center of the electronic device body. A closed open surface of the strap is defined in the direction of the length of the electronic device body and in a direction substantially orthogonal to the back surface. The open surface has an area where a plurality of fingers of an operator are insertable.

Electronic device

A hand strap for an electronic apparatus is provided with a first gripper, which is attached to a rear surface of an electronic apparatus in a removable manner, and a second gripper. The first gripper has a main body and an accommodation portion. The second gripper includes a fixed portion and an extra-long portion, one end of which is a free end. The extra-long portion is accommodated inside the accommodation portion, and can adjust the entire length of the second gripper. A finger accommodation space in which a finger other than a thumb is disposed between the first gripper and the second gripper, is defined. By gripping the first gripper with the pad and the tip end of a finger other than a thumb, it is possible to perform operation with a thumb over a wide area of a touch panel while holding an electronic apparatus with one hand.

Hand strap for electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes a terminal main body, a lid member that is removable from the terminal main body, and a battery that is accommodated in the terminal main body. The electronic apparatus has a first end and a second end, and a first main body and a second main body that has a thickness smaller than that of the first main body are disposed from the first end toward the second end. A reading device is provided at a first position of the first main body, and a magnetic card reader is provided at a second position of the first main body. In the magnetic card reader a slot through which a magnetic stripe of a magnetic card passes is provided, and the slot is defined in an inclined state such that the thickness of the electronic apparatus due to the magnetic card reader is prevented.

Electronic apparatus

Printed boards and are disposed in two layers inside a casing , and a selector cursor key and fixer keypad is provided on the cover . Selector cursor key switches are provided on the first printed board on the keypad side while a fixer key switch is provided on the second printed board . A protrusion portion of the keypad is made to penetrate a through hole of the first printed board so as to face the fixer key switch . The selector cursor key switches and the fixer key switch are arranged adjacently to each other in planar view so as to be able to be pushed and operated through one selector cursor key and fixer keypad
