Abstract

A cable connects a circuit board mounted with an electronic circuit to a BT module that controls wireless communications compliant with Bluetooth (Registered Trademark). The cable is a connection cable that elastically deforms and applies pushing force in a direction to make the BT module leave away from the circuit board. A second holding piece, which is cantilever-shaped, moves to a releasing position at which holding the BT module is released by elastic deformation as well as moves to a supporting position at which the second holding piece presses the BT module by release of elastic deformation.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a first board mounted with an electronic circuit;

a second board mounted with an electronic circuit;

a cable to connect the first board and the second board;

a first holding piece that presses one part of a side edge of the second board from a side where the second board is interposed between the supporting board and the first board; and

a second holding piece that presses another part spaced apart from the one part, of a side edge of the second board, from a same side as the side from which the first holding piece presses the second board, wherein

the second holding piece is cantilever-shaped and moves to a releasing position at which holding the second board is released by an elastic deformation as well as moves to a supporting position at which the second holding piece presses the second board by release of the elastic deformation.

2. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cable is supported on the supporting board in a state where the cable is elastically deformed and applying pushing force in a direction to make the second board leave away from the first board, and the supporting board uses the pushing force applied by the cable, thereby holding the second board in a state where a first board side of the second board is released.

3. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second board has a hole for screwing.

4. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first board is a circuit board mounted with a processing circuit to execute a program.

5. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second board is a circuit board mounted with a communication circuit for wireless communications.

6. The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first housing having a keyboard on a top surface thereof and incorporating the first board, the second board, the cable, and the first holding piece and the second holding piece; and

a second housing connected to the first housing via a hinge to be openable and closable with respect to the first housing.

7. The electronic apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the first board is mounted with a processing circuit to execute a program, and

the second housing is a display device that displays a result of processing executed by the processing circuit.
