Information processing apparatus and hook mechanism applicable to the

Abstract

An information processing apparatus which includes a first member (for example, a cover having a display unit thereon), a second member (for example, an apparatus body having a keyboard thereon), and a connection unit. The first member has a first face (for example, a face on which the display unit is provided) and a second face (for example, an outer face of the cover). The connection unit connects the first and second members to each other such that the first and second members are displaceable relative to each other between a first condition wherein the first face opposes the second member and a second condition wherein the second face opposes the second member. The first member has a hook member provided thereon such that the hook member can selectively project from one of the first and second faces. The second member has a hole for being engaged by the hook member. With the construction described, since the hook member of the first member can be engaged with the hole of the second member in each of the first and second conditions, two different closed conditions can be maintained.
