Electronic device
An electronic device includes a first unit and a second unit connected via a hinge member. The second unit has, at a lower end, a rod section having a cylindrical shape and extending laterally. The rod section has a notch portion formed by making a cut in the cylindrical shape at a position corresponding to a fixed section of the hinge member. The first unit includes: a first cover that includes a plate portion forming a part of a top surface of the first unit, and a rising portion having an arc shape fitted to a cylindrical contour of the rod section and covering a first space of the notch portion; and a second cover that has an arc shape fitted to the cylindrical contour of the rod section and covers a second space of the notch portion while covering the notch portion in combination with the rising portion.
1. An electronic device comprising:
a first unit;
a second unit; and
a hinge member that supports and allows the second unit to be rotatable relative to the first unit, the hinge member including:
a fixed section fixed to the first unit, and
a movable section that extends in a predetermined direction and has a shaft secured to the fixed section and a rotatable portion secured to the second unit and rotatable relative to the shaft,
wherein the second unit has a rod section forming a part of an outer shape of the second unit, at a lower end of the second unit when the second unit is in a standing position relative to the first unit, the rod section covering the movable section, having a cylindrical shape extending in the predetermined direction, and having a notch portion formed by making a cut in the cylindrical shape at a position corresponding to the fixed section, and the second unit also has a plurality of ribs arranged in a predetermined direction and erected on a wall surface of the notch portion, each of the ribs having a surface shaped like an arc fitted to a contour of the rod section, and
wherein the first unit includes:
a first cover member that includes a plate portion forming at least a part of an outer shape of a top surface of the first unit, and a rising portion having an arc shape fitted to a cylindrical contour of the rod section and being erected while covering a first space of the notch portion, and
a second cover member that has an arc shape fitted to the cylindrical contour of the rod section and covers a second space of the notch portion while covering the notch portion in combination with the rising portion.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second cover member is fixed to the first cover member.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a pair of the hinge members which are spaced from each other, a pair of the notch portions corresponding to the hinge members, respectively, a pair of the rising portions of the cover member corresponding to the hinge members, respectively, and a pair of the second cover members corresponding to the hinge members, respectively.
4. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the pair of the second cover members are identical in shape.
5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first unit is a main unit including an operational processing circuit and a keyboard disposed on a top surface of the main unit, and the second unit is a display unit having a display screen.
