Abstract
In the electronic equipment of the present application, a center axis of a cylindrical portionof a shaftis eccentric with respect to a rotation center axis of the shaft, whereby even when a cablecomes closest to the shaftin the turning of a first housingor second housing, a sufficient space can be secured between the shaftand the cable. Thus, in a turning range of the first housingor second housing, it is highly unlikely that the shaftand the cablecome into contact with each other, which avoids an increase in a tension of the cableand wear on an insulation cover of the cable. By avoiding the increase in the tension of the cable, breakage of the electric wires in the cablecan be avoided.
