An electronic apparatus includes a pair of speakers in a chassis. The pair of speakers are connected via a flat cable. The flat cable has a ridge fold line that is convex on one face and a valley fold line that is convex on the other face so that the ridge and valley fold lines extend in a direction intersecting an extension direction of the flat cable. The chassis has a flat shape, and the flat cable is placed along the flat surface and has a long extending portion partially overlaps a protrusion of a battery in a plan view.

Electronic apparatus

A stand includes: a frame body has an opening portion and a supporting portion is around the opening portion and supports a rear surface of the electronic apparatus; a leg portion is rotatably connected to the supporting portion inside the opening portion via a torque hinge and is capable of moving between a first angular position, at which the leg portion is accommodated at least inside the opening portion, and a second angular position, at which the leg portion protrudes from the supporting portion by rotating in a first direction from the first angular position; a first magnet that is provided on an inside surface of the supporting portion to face the opening portion; and a second magnet that is provided on an outside surface of the leg portion to face the inside surface of the supporting portion and that is capable of being attracted to the first magnet.

Stand and keyboard-stand set

A stand supports an electronic apparatus in an erect state. The stand includes: a supporting portion that has a supporting surface which supports a rear surface of the electronic apparatus; a leg portion that is rotatably connected to the supporting portion via a hinge; a flexible member that has flexibility, that is formed in a sheet shape, and that is provided along one edge of the supporting portion so as to protrude from the one edge; a surface material that has flexibility and forms front surfaces of the supporting portion and the flexible member; a first bonding layer that fixes the surface material onto the supporting portion; and a second bonding layer that is formed to have a lower coating density of a bonding adhesive than the first bonding layer and fixes the surface material onto the flexible member.

Stand, method of manufacturing stand, and keyboard-stand set

A keyboard includes: a recessed portion formed along a rear edge and open from a rear surface to a bottom surface; and a magnet located at a recessed portion top surface. A stand includes: a frame body that abuts a rear surface of an electronic apparatus; a plate connected to part of the frame body via a torque hinge, and having a distal edge abutting a placement surface in a state of being open relative to a frame surface of the frame body; a band portion connected to a long-side frame of the frame body along the long-side frame, and having a width that allows side surfaces of the electronic apparatus to be supported; and a bar of an iron material located along a distal edge of the band portion.

Keyboard, stand, and keyboard-stand set

A portable information device includes a chassis with a heating element housed inside, and a cover device which covers the back surface of the chassis. The cover device has a core material, a graphite sheet laminated on the surface of the core material, an auxiliary sheet laminated on the surface of the graphite sheet and softer than the core material, and a surface material laminated on the surface of the auxiliary sheet to form the surface of the cover device and softer than the auxiliary sheet.

Portable information device and cover device

An information device and a cover that are suitable for forming design marks on a soft material and enhance the appearance quality. The cover includes: a core as a base; an auxiliary sheet closer to a surface than the core; a surface material closer to the surface than the auxiliary sheet, the surface material being softer than the core; and a design mark part including a baseplate and a design mark protruding from the baseplate. The baseplate is disposed in a plate recessed portion having a shape corresponding to a contour of the baseplate and disposed in a surface of the core. The design mark is exposed to the surface through design mark holes in the auxiliary sheet and the surface material, the design mark holes having a contour shape of the design mark. The auxiliary sheet covers at least the contour of the baseplate and the plate recessed portion.

Information device and cover

A portable information device includes a chassis, and a cover device that covers the back surface of the chassis. The cover device has a base cover section, a stand cover section rotatable relative to the base cover section and movable between a stored position of being provided along the back surface of the chassis and a standing position of protruding from the back surface of the chassis, and a hinge device. A first bracket has a first notch-shaped portion in a root part of the side end face thereof on the side of a hinge shaft to face the side of the second bracket in the axial direction. A second bracket has a second notch-shaped portion in a root part of the side end face thereof on the side of the hinge shaft to face the side of the first bracket in the axial direction.

A portable information device includes: a first chassis; a second chassis coupled to the first chassis to be rotatable relative to the first chassis; and a cover device having a first cover section which covers the back surface of the first chassis, a second cover section which covers the back surface of the second chassis, and a folding cover section which connects between the first cover section and the second cover section to be rotatable relative to each other. The cover device further has a sheet-shaped member provided to face a side edge of the folding cover section on the inner surface side of the folding cover section and provided to be movable relative to the inner surface of the folding cover section.

A portable information device includes a chassis and a cover device to cover the back surface of the chassis. The cover device includes a hinge device that rotatably supports a stand cover section between a stored position and a standing position. The hinge device includes: a first shaft; a second shaft; an intermediate shaft having a first end coupled to one end of the first shaft and a second end coupled to one end of the second shaft; and a first base bracket, a first stand bracket, a second base bracket, and a second stand bracket.
