A retainer for an electronic apparatus includes a housing member in the form of a frame, an antenna holding member, and rib elements for assuring a distance between a main printed board and a sub-printed board. The housing member, antenna holding member and rib elements are formed as one unit of a resin material. The housing member accommodates and holds a liquid crystal display unit, an EL lamp and so forth. The antenna holding member supports an inner side portion of a loop antenna. The rib elements hold the sub-printed board to assure the distance between the main printed board and the sub-printed board. By forming the retainer as one unit of a resin material, the number and cost of parts can be reduced, and moreover assembly and disassembly are facilitated and the number of working steps can be reduced.
