The first adhesive tape and the third adhesive tape respectively have a first tab and a third tab for tensile peeling operation extending to a second edge of the chassis member. The second adhesive tape has a second tab for tensile peeling operation extending from one end thereof to the second edge.

An electronic apparatus includes: a first chassis member; a second chassis member that is adjacent to the first chassis member and relatively rotatably connected to the first chassis member; a first plate that is supported by the first chassis member; a second plate that is supported by the second chassis member and aligned with a gap between the first plate and the second plate; a display that is formed in a flexible sheet shape, and has a first region fixed to a front surface of the first plate, a second region fixed to a front surface of the second plate, and a folding region capable of being folded and provided to straddle a gap between the first region and the second region; and a first fastening portion that fixes the first plate to the first chassis member.

A slide mechanism includes: a slider that is movable between a first position and a second position along an edge wall; a shield cover on the slider, the shield cover being located to cover the front of the camera when the slider is in the first position and located to be away from the front of the camera when the slider is in the second position; a movable magnet at the slider; and a fixed magnet at the chassis. The movable magnet and the fixed magnet are disposed to face each other so that when the slider is in the first position and the second position, the movable magnet and the fixed magnet attract to each other, and when the slider is located between the first position and the second position, the movable magnet and the fixed magnet repel each other.

Electronic apparatus and slide mechanism

A portable information device includes: a chassis; a decorative plate fixed to a part of an outer face of the chassis with stretch releasable double-sided adhesive tape; and a cover member that covers the outer face and the decorative plate. The double-sided adhesive tape has: an adhesive portion including adhesive layers on first and second faces of a substrate for adhesively fixing between the decorative plate and the outer face; and a tab including release paper partially covering the adhesive layers to let a user hold the tab for stretch release of the adhesive portion from between the decorative plate and the outer face.
