Electronic apparatus and assembly

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

an enclosure having an opening; and

an assembly fixed inside the enclosure and extending through the opening to the outside of the enclosure,

wherein the assembly includes a first arm and a second arm, the first arm entering the inside of the enclosure through the opening and extending along an inner wall of the enclosure in a first direction, the second arm entering the inside of the enclosure through the opening and extending along an inner wall of the enclosure in a second direction opposite to the first direction and further extending in a third direction intersecting the second direction from an end of a portion thereof extending to the second direction, the end being opposite to the origin of the second direction,

the first arm has a member-side engagement section which is engaged with the enclosure, and the second arm has, at a portion thereof extending in the third direction, a member-side fixing section which is fixed to the enclosure,

the enclosure has an enclosure-side engagement section with which the member-side engagement section is engaged and an enclosure-side fixing section to which the member-side fixing section is fixed, and

the enclosure-side engagement section is a protrusion that protrudes from an edge of a side wall of the enclosure standing on a bottom wall of the enclosure, in a direction to overlap the bottom wall, the edge being away from the bottom wall.

2. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the member-side engagement section has an indentation in which the enclosure-side engagement section is engaged.

3. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the enclosure-side fixing section is composed of a plurality of bosses each protruding from an inner wall of the enclosure and each having a screw hole in the center, and the member-side fixing section has a plurality of fixing holes formed at positions corresponding to the screw holes of the bosses, the member-side fixing section being screw-fixed to the enclosure-side fixing section.

4. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a main unit which has a keyboard on a top surface thereof; and

a display unit which is openable and closable with respect to the main unit and has a display screen,

wherein enclosure defines the display unit, and

the assembly constitutes a supporting mechanism for supporting the display unit such that the display unit is openable and closable with respect to the main unit.

5. An electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the inner wall of the enclosure extends in the second direction and another inner wall of the enclosure extends in the third direction thereby forming a corner of the enclosure along which corner the second arm is bent.

6. An assembly to be fixed inside an enclosure of an electronic apparatus while extending through an opening formed in the enclosure to the outside of the enclosure, the assembly comprising:

a first arm entering the inside of the enclosure through the opening and extending along an inner wall of the enclosure in a first direction; and

a second arm entering the inside of the enclosure through the opening and extending along an inner wall of the enclosure in a second direction opposite to the first direction and further extending in a third direction intersecting the second direction from an end of a portion thereof extending to the second direction, the end being opposite to the origin of the second direction,

wherein the first arm has a member-side engagement section which is to be engaged with an enclosure-side engagement section formed on a side wall of the enclosure, and the second arm has, at a portion thereof extending in the third direction, a member-side fixing section which is to be fixed to an enclosure-side fixing section formed inside the enclosure, and

the enclosure-side engagement section is a protrusion that protrudes from an edge of the side wall of the enclosure standing on a bottom wall of the enclosure, in a direction to overlap the bottom wall, the edge being away from the bottom wall.

7. An assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the member-side engagement section has an indentation in which the enclosure-side engagement section is to be engaged.

8. An assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the enclosure-side fixing section is composed of a plurality of bosses each protruding from an inner wall of the enclosure and each having a screw hole in the center, and the member-side fixing section has a plurality of fixing holes formed at positions corresponding to the screw holes of the bosses, the member-side fixing section which is to be screw-fixed to the enclosure-side fixing section.

9. An assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the electronic apparatus includes:

a main unit which has a keyboard on a top surface thereof; and

a display unit which is openable and closable with respect to the main unit and has a display screen,

wherein enclosure defines the display unit, and

the assembly constitutes a supporting mechanism for supporting the display unit such that the display unit is openable and closable with respect to the main unit.

10. An assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the inner wall of the enclosure extends in the second direction and another inner wall of the enclosure extends in the third direction forming a corner of the enclosure, along which corner the second arm is bent.
