Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus comprises a first case includes a screw hole, a second case separated from the first case, and a screw passing through the screw hole to fix the second case to the first case. The first case comprises a metallic portion includes an opening portion, a resin portion formed integrally with the metallic portion so as to cover the opening portion, a protrusion extending from the metallic portion to be arranged on the resin portion in a thickness direction, and a sheet-type block located between the protrusion and resin portion. The protrusion comprises an opening formed in a surface opposed to the resin part, and the screw hole extending from the opening to pass through the protrusion in the thickness direction, and the block covers the opening.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a first case comprising a screw hole;

a second case separate from the first case; and

a screw inserted in the screw hole to fix the second case to the first case, wherein the first case comprises:

a metallic portion comprising an opening portion;

a resin portion integral with the metallic portion and configured to cover the opening portion;

a protrusion on the resin portion and extending from the metallic portion in a thickness direction; and

a sheet-type block between the protrusion and resin portion,

wherein the protrusion comprises an opening in a surface opposite to the resin portion,

wherein the screw hole is extending from the opening in the thickness direction through the protrusion, and

wherein the block is on the opening.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the metallic portion comprises a concave portion comprising the block therein.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the resin portion comprises a first holder surrounding an end portion of the protrusion and configured to hold the end portion of the protrusion.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the protrusion comprises a base portion opposite to the end portion, and the resin portion comprises a second holder surrounding the base portion and configured to hold the base portion.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , comprising:

a main body separate from the first case and the second case and rotatably supporting the first case and the second case; and

a cushion attached to the second case at a position corresponding to a head of the screw, the cushion being in contact with the main body when the second case is rotated opposite to the main body.

6. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a first case comprising a screw hole;

a second case separate from the first case; and

a screw passing through the screw hole to fix the second case to the first case, wherein the first case comprises:

a metallic portion;

a resin portion integrated with the metallic portion;

a protrusion on the resin portion and extending from the metallic portion in a thickness direction; and

an interposed portion between the protrusion and the resin portion,

wherein the protrusion comprises an opening in a surface opposite to the resin portion, and

wherein the screw hole is extending from the opening in the thickness direction through the protrusion, and

the interposed portion is on the opening.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the metallic portion comprises a concave portion comprising the interposed portion therein.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the resin portion comprises a first holder surrounding an end portion of the protrusion and configured to hold the end portion of the protrusion.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the protrusion comprises a base portion opposite to the end portion, and the resin portion comprises a second holder surrounding the base portion and configured to hold the base portion.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 9 , comprising:

a main body separate from the first case and the second case and rotatably supporting the first case and the second case; and

a cushion attached to the second case at a position corresponding to a head of the screw, the cushion being in contact with the main body when the second case is rotated opposite to the main body.
