Electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗According to an aspect of the present invention, an electronic apparatus includes: a main body that has an input unit placed on a top surface of the main body; a display panel that has a display surface and a rear surface on an opposite side to the display surface; a hinge mechanism that joins the display panel to the main body, the hinge mechanism having a pivot shaft, a rotation shaft, and a pivot support member; an engagement part that is provided on the pivot support member; and a reception part that receives the engagement part. The reception part is provided on the main body, wherein the pivot shaft pivotably supports the display panel. The rotation shaft rotatably supports the display panel to be openable about an axis provided along one side of the display panel, and the pivot support member supports the pivot shaft and the rotation shaft.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a main body that has an input unit placed on a top surface of the main body;
a display panel that has a display surface and a rear surface on an opposite side to the display surface;
a hinge mechanism that joins the display panel to the main body, the hinge mechanism having a pivot shaft, a rotation shaft, and a pivot support member;
an engagement part that is provided on the pivot support member; and
a reception part that receives the engagement part when the display surface faces the input unit or when the rear surface faces the input unit, the main body including the reception part, wherein the reception part is formed to be recessed in the main body, wherein
the pivot shaft pivotably supports the display panel with an axis rising from the top surface of the main body,
the rotation shaft rotatably supports the display panel to be openable about an axis provided along one side of the display panel,
the pivot support member supports the pivot shaft and the rotation shaft in a state in which the pivot shaft and the rotation shaft intersect with one another, the pivot support member being pivotable about the pivot shaft and includes a body part formed like a tube along the axis of the pivot shaft, an arm part extending along the axis of the rotation shaft from the body part, and a hinge cover for covering an upper opening of the body part and the arm part, and
the engagement part extends from the hinge cover to the main body.
2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the engagement part is projected from the pivot support member in a direction along the axis of the pivot shaft, and
wherein the reception part is formed to be recessed in the top surface of the main body.
3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the reception part has a terminal provided on an interface of the reception part to be exposed, and
wherein the engagement part is electrically connected to the terminal in a state in which the engagement part enters the reception part.
4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the engagement part has a projected portion projected in a pivoting direction of the pivot support member, and
wherein the reception part has a fit recess into which the projection is fitted.
