An electronic device includes a first unit, a second unit, and a lock mechanism. The lock mechanism includes: an engagement projection provided on a third side surface of the first unit; a latch provided on a fourth side surface of the second unit, the latch being rotatable around a rotation axis provided perpendicular to the fourth side surface between a first rotational position where the latch does not engage with the engagement projection and a second rotational position where the latch is engageable with the engagement projection, and an urging member that urges the latch to be positioned at the second rotational position. The latch has an inclined part. When the latch is located at the second rotational position and the first unit is changed to a closed state from a state where the first unit is not closed, the inclined part abuts on the engagement projection during the change.

Electronic device

The electronic apparatus includes a first unit including an operation unit, a second unit including a display unit, and a connecting portion, which is rotatably coupled to the first unit, and to which the second unit is detachably connected. The connecting portion includes a holding portion which is used by a user when the user holds the electronic apparatus. The holding portion is arranged to be positioned behind the first unit in the closed state where the second unit is closed with respect to the first unit, and positioned below a lower surface of the first unit in an open state where the second unit is opened with respect to the first unit.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic device in a first aspect includes: a housing comprising metal that houses an electronic component; a cover comprising resin that covers at least a part of a principal surface of the housing from an outside; and a screw screwed into the housing via a through-hole provided at the cover and, the screw having a head that protrudes to the outside from the cover. A larger-diameter part having a diameter larger than a diameter of a screw part is provided on a head side of the screw. A larger-diameter step-down part that fits the larger-diameter part is provided on the principal surface of the housing.

In a casing for an electronic apparatus, a plurality of ribs are integrally formed on an inner surface of the casing, and the plurality of ribs form an isogrid structure in which a plurality of equilateral-triangular segments are arranged regularly adjacent to each other.

Casing for electronic apparatus and electronic apparatus having same

An electronic device includes a display member, a glass plate that has an area larger than that of a front face of the display member, the glass plate covering the overall front face of the display member, a frame that has a first holding portion holding a portion of the glass plate corresponding to a circumference of the display member, and an outer covering member surrounding a side portion of the glass plate. The outer covering member has a second holding portion that is inserted between the glass plate and the frame and holds a portion of the glass plate not held by the frame.

A holder includes stoppers that restrict movement of an operation member in a predetermined direction by an amount exceeding a predetermined amount by abutting against a projection of the operation member when the operation member is moved in the predetermined direction. The operation member is made from an elastic body to be movable between the first position and the second position, in a case where the operation member is present at a position either the first position or the second position, when a force is applied to the operation protrusion in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined direction, the main body is bent in the perpendicular direction and the projection moves over the stopper.
