Abstract
The disclosure discloses an electronic device comprising an opening/closing cover. One of the opening/closing cover and a housing includes a shaft portion, and the other thereof includes a bearing hole portion. The shaft portion includes a first protruding portion. The bearing hole portion includes a second protruding portion. The first and the second protruding portions are configured, to be separated away from each other when the opening/closing cover is in a closed state, to become closer to each other along with rotation from the closed state, to be in contact with each other when the opening/closing cover arrives at a first rotation position, and configured to release an engagement of the shaft portion and the bearing hole portion by the manner that one of the first and second protruding portions overrides the other thereof to overlap each other when the opening/closing cover arrives at a second rotation position.
