Abstract

A personal computer includes a box-shaped body having a card storing section for storing a memory card. An operating opening portion is formed by cutting an edge of the body to a given size and externally accessible by a finger, and the storing section communicates with the opening portion through an inlet opening. An ejector mechanism for ejecting the card from the card storing section includes a card receiver arranged in the storing section for receiving the card inserted through the inlet opening. A drawer member is mounted on the card receiver and has an operating end portion. The operating end portion is located within the operating opening portion when the drawer member is moved to its pushed-in position while the card receiver is in its first position and outwardly projects through the operating opening portion when the drawer member is moved to its drawn-out position while the card receiver is in its first position. When the drawer member is drawn outside the body form its drawn-out position, the card receiver along with the received card is moved from its first position to its second position in accordance with the movement of the drawer member. An electronic apparatus comprising a display and a keyboard hinged together for movement between open and closed positions and further comprising latching devices for releasably latching the apparatus in a closed position. The display is mounted within a main body. Each latching device includes a hook projecting from an operation knob. The hook engages a slider mounted within the main body. A projection within the main body abuts the hook to prevent disengagement of the hook from the slider.
