An electronic device includes a first unit having an input part and a second unit having a display. The first unit and the second unit are detachably coupled, and the first unit includes a socket capable of housing a predetermined side of the second unit. A first insertion hole, into which a security member can be inserted, is provided on a side of the socket, and a second insertion hole, into which the security member can be inserted, is provided on a side of the second unit. The first insertion hole of the socket is provided on an upper part of the socket, and the second insertion hole of the second unit is provided on a lower part of the second unit.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic device includes: a casing having an opening that houses a connection terminal inside; and a terminal cover that seals the opening such that the connection terminal is not exposed. The terminal cover includes a lid that seals the opening and a fixing part that fixes the terminal cover to the casing. The lid includes a protrusion and a cushion member, the cushion member being mounted around the protrusion and having a surface lower than a surface of the protrusion. The cushion member seals the opening by being in close contact with a member provided around the opening.

Electronic device and electronic device terminal cover

An electronic device includes a first unit having an input part and a second unit having a display. The first unit and the second unit are detachably coupled. The first unit includes a socket capable of housing a predetermined side of the second unit. Locked holes, into which a lock projection of a lock member can be inserted, are provided on one of right and left sides of the socket and the second unit. An interlocking lock mechanism is provided on another of the right and left sides of the socket and the second unit. The interlocking lock mechanism locks the second unit to the socket when the lock projection of the lock member is inserted into the locked holes.

An electronic device includes: a first unit having a display; and a second unit having an input part, and is constructed such that the first unit and the second unit are detachable. The second unit includes a socket capable of housing a lower side of the first unit. The socket has a bottomed socket body that opens on a side in which the lower side (a predetermined side) of the first unit is housed. The socket body is provided with a through-hole for draining water that establishes communication between an outside and an inside of the socket body.

Electronic device

An electronic device includes a first unit including a display, and a second unit including an input part, and the first unit and the second unit are formed to be detachable. The second unit includes a socket that is capable of accommodating a side part of the first unit. The socket includes a lock mechanism configured to detachably lock the first unit with the second unit, an operating member configured to operate the lock mechanism, and a dust discharge mechanism configured to discharge dust that has entered the socket out of the socket in conjunction with operation of the operating member.

Electronic device having detachable parts and a dust discharge mechanism

In an electronic device, a socket side first fitting part and a socket side second fitting part, which constitute one shape of a recess and a projection, are formed near a hinge on a principal surface of a socket of a second unit from which a first unit is detachable. In a state in which a principal surface of an input unit and a principal surface of the socket are substantially parallel to each other, an input unit side first fitting part and an input unit side second fitting part, which constitute another shape of the recess and the projection, are formed on the principal surface of the input unit so as to respectively fit to the socket side first fitting part and the socket side second fitting part of the socket.

A drive mechanism has an engaging member that abuts on a first engageable part and moves to a first axial center direction position and an engaging member that abuts on a second engageable part and moves to the first axial center direction position, when a first unit is mounted on a second unit. When an operating member is located at a second position, in a case where the right and left engaging members are moved to the first axial center direction positions, the operating member is moved from the second position to the first position. In a case where at least one of the right and left engaging members is not moved to the first axial center direction position, the operating member is not moved from the second position to the first position.
