Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: a housing having an internal space formed by top, bottom and side plates; and a power-source housing section formed next to a part of the side plate in the internal space and having a plate wall shaped such that a part adjacent to the side plate is near the side plate on one side and is away from the side plate on the other side in a direction connecting the top plate with the bottom plate. The apparatus further includes: a power-source block having an outer wall-surface whose shape conforms to the plate wall and housed in the power-source housing section; an antenna disposed in a space between the side plate and the plate wall; and a circuit board disposed in the internal space and mounted with an electronic circuit that operates based on power supplied from the power-source block housed in the power-source housing section.

Claims (16)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a keyboard that has a plurality of keys which are arranged vertically and horizontally on a first plane;

a housing that forms an inner space, the housing includes:

a first plate section which extends along the first plane on which the plurality of keys are arranged,

a second plate section which extends along a second plane intersecting the first plane,

an arc-shaped plate wall that has a first section extending in a direction that intersects the first plane and a second section extending in a direction that intersects the second plane, and

a third plate section which continues to the arc-shaped plate wall; and

an antenna that is housed in the inner space, the antenna includes:

a first portion which has a plate shape, extends in a direction along the second plane, and has length shorter than a radius of an arc in the arc-shaped plate wall,

a second portion which has a plate shape, extends from one end of the first portion in a direction along the first plane, and is positioned at the third plate section, and

a third portion which extends from the other end of the first portion contacting the arc-shaped plate wall toward the second plate section in a direction along the first plane.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a circuit board in which an electronic circuit is mounted, and is placed at a position avoiding a space contained by the first plate section, the second plate section and the arc-shaped plate wall in the inner space.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the arc-shaped plate wall and the third plate section form a housing section for a removably attachable component.

4. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the arc-shaped plate wall and the third plate section form a housing section for a removably attachable component.

5. The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the removably attachable component is a battery pack which is a power supply for the circuit board.

6. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the removably attachable component is a battery pack which is a power supply for the circuit board.
