Abstract

An assembly includes a first housing, a second housing that houses a plate member, and a connecting section that connects the first housing to the second housing in such a way that the first housing is openable and closable with respect to the second housing on one side of the second housing. The connecting section includes a first fastening section fastened to the plate member.

Claims (24)

1. An assembly comprising:

a first housing;

a second housing that houses a plate member, the plate member being extended in the second housing; and

a connecting section that connects the first housing to the second housing in such a way that the first housing is openable and closable with respect to the second housing on one side of the second housing,

wherein the second housing includes an edge surface of the one side of the second housing, the edge surface extends in a direction that intersects with an extending direction of the plate member, and the connecting section includes a first fastening section screwed to the plate member in a first direction perpendicular to a plane where the plate member extends and a second fastening section screwed to the edge surface of the second housing in a second direction which is perpendicular to a plane where the edge surface extends and which intersects the first direction.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the first fastening section is located closer to a different side facing the one side than the second fastening section.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the plate member is fixed to the second housing at a position different from a position where the first fastening section is fastened to the plate member.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second housing has a lower housing and an upper cover and the plate member is fixed to the upper cover.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an upper cover of the second housing has an opening and the plate member is fixed to the upper cover while closing the opening from below.

6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting section has a horizontal first axis to open and close the first housing with respect to the second housing, and a second axis to rotate the first housing with respect to the second housing, the second axis crossing the first axis.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the second housing has a lower housing and an upper cover, the lower housing includes the edge surface.

8. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a first housing;

a second housing that houses a plate member, the plate member being extended in the second housing;

an electronic component that is housed in the second housing; and

a connecting section that connects the first housing to the second housing in such a way that the first housing is openable and closable with respect to the second housing on one side of the second housing,

wherein the second housing includes an edge surface of the one side of the second housing, the edge surface extends in a direction that intersects with an extending direction of the plate member, and the connecting section includes a first fastening section screwed to the plate member in a first direction perpendicular to a plane where the plate member extends and a second fastening section screwed to the edge surface of the second housing in a second direction which is perpendicular to a plane where the edge surface extends and which intersects the first direction.

9. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the plate member dissipates heat generated by the electronic component.

10. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

the first housing has a display panel built-in, and

the second housing has a keyboard unit mounted on the plate member.

11. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the first fastening section is located closer to a different side facing the one side than the second fastening section.

12. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the plate member is fixed to the second housing at a position different from a position where the first fastening section is fastened to the plate member.

13. The electronic apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the second housing has a lower housing and an upper cover, the lower housing includes the edge surface.
