Electronic apparatus
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes: a main body that has a bearing hole having a first retaining portion and a second retaining portion; a sub module that has a shaft rotatably coupling with the bearing hole so that the sub module moves between a first position and a second position; and a detent spring that is coupled with the shaft to keep the sub module at the first position and at the second position, the detent spring having a third retaining portion, wherein the third retaining portion couples with the first retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the first position, and wherein the third retaining portion couples with the second retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the second position.
1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a main body that has a bearing hole having a first retaining portion and a second retaining portion;
a sub module that has a shaft rotatably coupled with the bearing hole so that the sub module is movable between a first position and a second position; and
a detent spring that is coupled with the shaft to keep the sub module at the first position and at the second position, the detent spring having a third retaining portion,
wherein the third retaining portion couples with the first retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the first position,
wherein the third retaining portion couples with the second retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the second position,
wherein the detent spring is fixed to the shaft, and is mounted between an outer surface of the shaft and an inner surface of the bearing hole,
wherein the third retaining portion is formed as a detent protrusion, and
wherein the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion are formed as detent recesses.
2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the shaft has a clearance portion in the vicinity of the third retaining portion for deformation of the detent spring.
3. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a main body that has a bearing hole;
a sub module that has a shaft rotatably coupled with the bearing hole so that the sub module is movable between a first position and a second position, the shaft having a first retaining portion and a second retaining portion; and
a detent spring that is coupled with the bearing hole to keep the sub module at the first position and at the second position, the detent spring having a third retaining portion,
wherein the third retaining portion couples with the first retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the first position,
wherein the third retaining portion couples with the second retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the second position,
wherein the detent spring is fixed to the bearing hole, and is mounted between an outer surface of the shaft and an inner surface of the bearing hole,
wherein the third retaining portion is formed as a detent protrusion, and
wherein the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion are formed as detent recesses.
4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the bearing hole has a clearance portion in the vicinity of the third retaining portion for deformation of the detent spring.
5. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a main body that has a bearing hole;
a sub module that has a shaft rotatably coupled with the bearing hole so that the sub module is movable between a first position and a second position, the shaft having a first retaining portion and a second retaining portion; and
a detent spring that is coupled with the bearing hole to keep the sub module at the first position and at the second position, the detent spring having a third retaining portion,
wherein the detent spring is coupled with the bearing hole such that the shaft of the sub module is rotatable with respect to the detent spring,
wherein the third retaining portion couples with the first retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the first position, and
wherein the third retaining portion couples with the second retaining portion when the sub module is kept at the second position.
6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the detent spring is fixed to the bearing hole,
wherein the third retaining portion is formed as a detent protrusion, and
wherein the first retaining portion and the second retaining portion are formed as detent recesses.
7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the bearing hole has a clearance portion in the vicinity of the third retaining portion for deformation of the detent spring.
